I've cut so many products out of my life in the past few years. They used Covid as an excuse to price gauge and they just never stopped. They'll keep creeping the price up until sales start to decline then they'll settle there... for awhile.

Did you seriously make an account just to make this comment? The Heritage Foundation? Fucking yikes.

The U.S. company said in October it planned "modest" price increases this year as demand held up despite rises, leading it to hike its 2023 profit forecast for a third straight time.

They will simply keep raising prices until demand plateaus. It has nothing to do with production costs or shipping costs- they will gauge us for every single penny simply because they can. And if sales drop they will still make more money than before because a bag of chips that used to be $2.49 is now $5.99.

The problem is that one of these candidates lost the last time there was an election, and then broke the law and tried to illegally maintain power, thus making himself ineligible to run again. Is it really such a problem to uphold the Constitution of the US?

Nunn, a Republican who represents Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, added that he will continue to monitor the situation and that the "school is now secure."

"We will not rest until there is full accountability for this heinous act of violence," he said.

Ohh, he's monitoring the situation. He won't do anything to diminish the number of murder weapons that teenagers can get their hands on so they can vent their frustrations via bullets, but he's keeping an eye on things. Great job. You want accountability? Take a look at yourself.

It makes more sense that they are just assholes rather than they can't figure out basic taco architecture, despite 50+ years in the taco making biz.

This is just a waste of money.

Is it? You're trying to twist the numbers by adding your own random rules but a 90% reduction is pretty significant. If I might suggest it you are are wrong and you need to learn to deal with it.

You say it sounds like bullshit, but are you disputing the article?

Over the last five years Starbucks has claimed nearly $900 million in unspent gift card and app money as corporate revenue, boosting corporate profits and inflating executive bonuses.”

Are you saying this never happened? If not, where is the bullshit?

The last line repeating his name really brought the whole thing together. It was unnecessary but it also just had so much authority.

Are they going to institute the same rules for every online streaming service? Because what if the parents don't set up controls and their kids watch an R rated movie?

This is the parents responsibility and there are tools to keep kids from seeing harmful content.

Nah, they'll just do a little magical thinking on the case. Trump, despite all evidence to the contrary, is a godly man being smeared by a conspiracy. Clinton is evil incarnate. No need for conspiracies.

The weird thing is that trumpers think left leaning people will bend over backwards for Clinton like they do for trump, but if it's proven Clinton raped underage girls you can throw him into a volcano for all I care. But they will never turn on trump the same way.
