It is not just the cost of the wine. There are costs of stocking and storing it, of the servers and bartenders, of inventory control, of renting the restaurant space, of utilities. Remember, storage space has to be accounted for as an expense, not as part of the income making areas of the bar and the dining room.

There is a deceptive simplicity in our discussion of sex work. Placing it solely in the context of personal choice and capitalism denies the larger context of both those things. Capitalism provides the illusion of choice by presenting products and services as a sign of freedom. Using the body as a product denies the…
He sold out the teachers and the school system, he sold out the public health system, and he had the gall to stand in the flood waters and claim to be helping people when the reason Newark flooded was because he’d cut off planning for rising river waters and segregated funds for emergency services away from the most…
Corporate word salad had overtaken business writing. The style and techniques are: use of “we” to mean no one in particular, sub-clauses that muddy an already unclear sentence, a weird passive first person voice, endless single sentence paragraphs. It’s all the MBA guidebook on how to not do anything, not take…
Not an accident. Amazon has done this from the beginning. They did it with the Harry Potter books, and have done it with other titles.
My mother would say the same thing, but she would be mean and cruel for the rest of her “fallen” daughter’s life.
Per a United employee: You cannot buy a seat for a dog.
She paid for one seat, not two. You cannot buy a seat for a dog.
My friend’s 10 year old son died when his scooter tipped him into the curb. Another friend’s 14 year old daughter is paralyzed after her bike tire got caught in a streetcar track & she flipped over the handlebars. My stupid brother-in-law almost tore off his kid’s ear because he didn’t think a helmet was necesary when…
In 1969 my relatives flew rt from Glasgow to San Francisco - Glasgow to London to Toronto or NY then to San Francisco - for $600/person. It was a ton of money at the time, but that $600 is $4400 now. We are not paying for air travel, that’s why we’re being nickled & dimed with fees.
The available brands of HRT are either in pill form, patches, custom compounded, or the unregulated cream you can get at health food stores. The study uses standard dose pharmaceuticals, not compounded, individualized dosages. Using standard pharmaceuticals is mostly like hitting a nail with a sledge hammer. (BTW, did…
Whomever this lady is she doesn’t have “years of experience and medical training.” If she did she would know about the horrific effects of polio, about how measles kills and/or causes brain damage, how chicken pox scars or breeds shingles, how whooping cough tortures its victims with wracking, rib breaking coughs until…
It’s not the speed of the game that’s the problem, it’s the number of commercials.
Giants games played in a nearly empty ballpark are said to be “sold out.” That’s because like the Warriors, the seats belong to corporations who may or may not use them. Rather than give them away, if they’re returned for resale, they’re still considered sold and if they’re resold, that seat counts as sold twice. It’s…
Same with aircraft carriers. The Trump administration wants another 11 of these $13 billion floating targets, even though of the only 10 work now and the newest is already in the $20 billion range and looks to cost $40 billion by the time the planes are added. Every person with a functioning brain, whether…
Why did they de-age Cruella? She’s supposed to be a school mate of Mrs. Dearly, so in her 40s.
He was 74 when he did this!
Amazon was never about selling products, it was always about gathering, then selling, data. Like every other tech company that pretends its business model isn’t doing the business it is obviously doing, but a list of other people doing business, Amazon makes all the profits but takes no risks, instead placing them…
Al Pacino is not 5'7". I stood next to him and he was way shorter than me. I’m 5'7".
Same here, I got to see him twice. To judge Marceau by any film of him at work is unfair because its so inaccurate, like judging Middlemarch by the rough draft of the Cliff Notes. Most TV shows added music, which distorts the performances. Besides, like all theater, the live part is essential to the art.
