Half of recent US inflation due to high corporate profits, report finds in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Another so called "economics think-tank" that thinks [consumer price]-[raw material cost]=[profit]. They are just ingnoring all of the other variables in equation. P&G (their biggest example) laid off a huge percentage of their workforce during the pandemic and increased the price of the products. Now they are nearly back at 100% of their workforce but everyone is being paid more. It ends up being a wash for consumers at that point. That's not even including cost of energy, cost of machine maintenance, and all of the other little things that have increased over the last few years. Nonsense.

Buying the disk is still owning it (which is another $5 less on amazon BTW) though it is not out yet.

Correction, $5 more for a lifetime (or until the company decides to remove it) rental.

Short sellers, and the corporation that absorbs them at bargain prices.

Looks pretty good IMO. It was fun picking out all the Cincinnati and Middletown locations. Especially the ones in my own neighborhood of Northside.

Pepper pod was one of the more obvious ones.

New MacBooks have their memory soldered directly to the main board and don't have an extra m.2 port. There are very few windows laptops that meet both of those criteria. But like I said, even in those cases you can install games on an external drive.

No it's not, unless they have a MacBook. And even in that case it's not hard to find an external SSD with a thunderbolt or USB3.2 interface.

It's not that unrealistic if the dock has a GPU in it. Something they should have done with the og switch.

CSR Sale (www.cincinnati-oh.gov)
 

So, I have been a solid no on this issue since I heard about it. Even more so after the whole NS debacle in New Palestine. But i think it's good fodder for discussion, and I'm open to the Yes arguments.

The way I see it, the yes argument is purely based on the offering price. 80 years worth of the current rent would be in the city's pocket as soon as the sale goes through. 25 years worth of the proposed higher rent if the lease is renegotiated. That money could go a long way into modernizing our infrastructure. But that's it, it couldn't be used to add new infrastructure, only to augment what currently exists. So using it to jumpstart a rapid transit system would be a no go, unless it's purely based on busses and current roads.

The no argument for me is three fold, 1. A strong distrust of NS as a company, especially after new Palestine. 2. The potential loss of revenue if we can convince NS to agree to the higher rent and/or end their exclusivity and allow more carriers to use the rail. This route could cover a big hole in Amtraks expansion plan, potentially linking Cincinnati to Chattanooga, and subsequently Atlanta by passenger rail again. Which give us federal funding opportunities. And 3. It's the only public rail left in the country.

What are you-all's thoughts?

TBF I couldn't read very well when SMK came out so I don't really know if the game mags were trashing it.

.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy's technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.

I've been liking .zip so far.

I'm so annoyed by all the "why isn't it another RPG?" Complaints in the video comments. Why would southpark lend itself only to the RPG genre? Does anyone complain that Mario kart isn't a platformer?

I'm not saying they won't try, just that it doesn't matter. They have no power here

When they actually do have far right beliefs sure. But I think they were referring to people using the "right wing extremist" tag as a bludgeon for any views right of their own, or things that may not even be right at all.

IMO, the commandos had a better name and branding. But we will see if they pick up an old team name or go with something new.
