That’s on you

In some ways, loss leading can be done in more or less ethical ways. For instance, a small mom n pop hardware loss leading on lumbar or hammers and taking a reasonable profit on ten penny nails. Or something, maybe a better example is the Costco 1.50 all beef foot-long dog and soda but their memberships are reasonable profit for those who would go often enough and buy enough to make it worth it. It’s late and I’m tired, I hope you get the general gist. But yes, doordash is just double-dipping on the sleazy. And maybe loss leading isn’t ever acceptable, but I’m simply unaware/haven’t thought of reasons that make it so. I’m willing to hear any argument against any of it, though.

That’s your takeaway? It’s like Walmart moving into a town and undercutting indie business prices until the indie businesses close, then raising prices.

What doordash is doing is scraping restaurants’ websites for prices, taking a temporary loss, then going to the restaurants saying, “We got all these orders, it’s a win for both of us!” to sell the contact, then raising prices and tacking on extra fees, making money off the restaurants and the customers

Who’s going to know what HR had in their files, other than HR and whomever instituted a policy requiring things in HR files?

If one isn’t privy to those records, there’s little risk?

Completely reassuring.

Because for all the suffering and horrific ugliness, there is still beauty and joy. The smile of a neighbor, the red-headed woodpeckers and their mates that visit, the stray cat that hangs out, my adult child’s “I love you,” and sharing of joys and challenges. My fur baby’s cuddles, my dear friends’ messages from afar. A walk at dusk in summers, sunsets and sunrises, the sound of rain and thunder, the call of tree frogs, watching deer walk and rabbits and squirrel play. A cool breeze, the taste of water, a berry, home made relish from my neighbors, laughing, crying, and emotions that can’t be articulated but explored. Being at peace with myself.

That’s fine until there is an employee aiding an outside thief.

It would be easier to pass by 'what had been argued as" qualifier in front of “justified.” I’d also add something about people who discriminate against different socioeconomic groups as being uncultured, while gatekeeping culture.

Absolutely. ETA: good to see you again. A happy surprise.

I absolutely had a PT after a car accident that used spinal manipulation and it seemed to help. She also had me using elastic bands for stretching and hydrotherapy, so there’s that

Idk about prevagen but my opthomologist definitely said any generic of preservation is very good, and artificial tears with flax seed oil will definitely relieve dry, itchy “sandy eye” feel. Idk if he really believes that or not but I thought I’d give some drops a try. Last time I tried artificial tears, it burned like soap so I hope it’s not a waste of money.

Oh I looked it up, there may (study funded by the industry) be a basis for that. Medical News Today

Standing alternating with sitting doing desk work does alleviate some tension and probably thrombosis. I won’t say a lot, but it does help.

The American “food” industry, the American “health care” industry, American politics, the prison industrial complex, the military industrial complex, entertainment, right off the top of my head.
