This is also the model we saw with Walmart and a host of other big box stores — move into town, undercut and bankrupt the local businesses because you have extremely deep pockets until you are the only game in town, and then either close the store because it’s not actually profitable, or start jacking up the prices.…

Women have more fat than men do. Do women have worse health outcomes than men when it comes to the ‘Rona? No, research shows the opposite is true.

I expect this study does not correlate with anything clinically meaningful.

How much does public transit advertising cost? Because I think we could crowdsource an ad with a QR code that links to info about abortion pills and put it in busses and subways across the nation if we tried.

Fun fact: in Canada, “DiGiorno” is branded as “Delicio.”

401ks are a forced loan from working people to the companies that employ us, with Wall Street skimming a healthy cut off the top.

I grew up in Ottawa, where it may be snowy and effing freezing from late October to early May in particularly unpleasant years, but everything basically continues to work because we were prepared for that. Literally nobody there stores their windshield wipers up. You leave your wipers like that they’re gonna snap off…
