    You realize raising prices at lunchtime would be the dumbest business move ever in restaurant history, right? This was the result of some stupid marketing person that likely doesn’t even eat burgers writing this.

    Rideshare surge is a result of limited resource (drivers) and too much short term demand (riders). The alternatives are shitty too. So it’s intended to attract more drivers to the area.

    Wendy’s are generally in fast food forests with tons of competitors. If you raise prices while people are in line they will leave. And not come back.

    National multi unit megachains have issues with quick pivoting. AI allows a dream scenario where each store can adapt to factors of inventory, labor, demand on a granular level and make specials on the fly to drive revenue or reduce costs. Another instance of innovation that benefits consumers and employees being hammered by a hysterical media and luddites./z

    School me on this.

    if there is a spending cap of and most teams are within some percentage points of the cap, then why is there such a gap in performance between RB and the field? You would think that some team would just randomly stumble into something and/or find some unexpected talent that could push them.  In a system that is setup for parity, it seems a bit strange that there are still consistently the haves and the have nots.

    RB stopped developing last year’s car really early last year and devoted its cap space to this year’s car.

    Oh cool, we’ve got a new conservative poster who likes to get drunk alone and troll the CR on Friday/Saturday nights with nonsense like “racism doesn’t exist.”

    I’m sure the fact that this seems to be a common affliction among posters with certain political beliefs isn’t at all indicative of their poor mental health or that they are huge fucking losers with no friends.

    A grand conspiracy? Pulled off by white people in a white society that had the gall to explicitly and expressly permit slavery and also go ahead and count blacks as 3/5 persons. 

    And then, after finally expressly outlawing slavery and again reiterating the notion that all men are equal under law, proceeding to allow states to explicitly and expressly discriminate on the basis of race for the next century plus. 

    Unpossible. 

    You guys quit being toxic!

    Kushner served as a repeated point of comparison for Biden: Republicans were quizzing him on his father stopping by a dinner one evening when Kushner pulled in $2 billion after leaving the White House?

     

    A legislator asked him whether he'd worked for foreign governments.

    “I never worked for a country,” he replied. “I am not Jared Kushner.”

    I’ll be rooting for Cornyn.We aren’t going to get a better R senator.  Last time Texans held the seats of power, LBJ and Sam Rayburn made sure we got paid. 

    ulimately, that was what mcconnell was most effective at.  virginia got the most dollars per capita from the federal government, for what should be obvious reasons.  second most?  KY.  mitch lubed up the rest of the united states and got us to give $18,743 net per kentuckian in 2021.

    In the long run it may be.

    we should probably find some tungsten plates and on them mathematically describe the mechanism for global warming, so that if anyone comes around in another few hundred million years, finds a layer of plastic in the geological records, and realizes they're the second civilization on this planet, maybe they'll find the warning and take heed.

    midday show on the local NPR affiliate interviewing a couple of guys.  one said that joey b wasn't backing ukraine enough.  when it was pointed out that joey b asked for more support from congress, he complained that the republicans couldn't agree to it because of all the border stuff. 

     

     

    i'm seriously shocked that more people haven't lost their eyes while trying to tie their shoelaces in the morning.

    Didn’t Jack in the Box offer a smash burger a few weeks back and they sold out in a couple hours? I’m shocked BK and Wendy’s haven’t tried it.
