I agree with that PE isn’t the cause of fast fashion. I’m not so sure that we shouldn’t blame it for the death of Toys R Us, though.

It’s true that Amazon swooped in with lower overhead and, until late in the game, a refusal to pay sales tax.

But Toys R Us was making a go of it. 1/

i don't think anyone at the time expected reagan tearing solar panels off the white house to spite jimmy carter would be such a significant metaphor for the 21st century

No the US is not worse than Putin's Russia. How many million people are we occupying? How many hundreds of thousands of military and civilian casualties have we caused?

Fixing my brain and need to argue the old fashioned way: forcing a docker project to run in podman

Also PA and NH are "the fun state" where you can go buy fireworks

Embedded within the liberalish waters of the Northeast and cursed with oppositional defiance disorder and people who want to "get away from the city" because they don't like people and people don't like them. Also hate taxes to an unreasonable degree

Pennsylvania and New Hampshire are spiritually similar

ahahahahahaha i had no idea west fuckin' virginia had a higher minimum wage than us

pennsyltucky is real and a danger to us all

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

This is a bad question to ask a site full of neurotics.

What an insane mistake it was to reject a full ass subway in the 60s

a graph of seattle link light rail ridership, shown as a rolling 12M average

US transit data is out today, and Seattle's Link remains one of the fastest-growing rail systems in the nation, with ridership up 9% in the wake of the extension to Federal Way

Ridership should increase even further at the end of this month when the 1 & 2 lines are connected🧵

kind of astounding to consider that Trump won the 2024 election to a significant extent because Biden's support for Israel became so politically toxic, then he decided a good governing strategy would be to become full on a client state of Israel

Many of us argued that whatever Biden's policy was, Trump would be more way pro-Netanyahu and in fact Trump and Netanyahu were *conspiring* to make Biden and Kamala look bad (e.g. stuffing ceasefire agreements until post-election) so that Trump could win. But nobody listened and here we are.

If I were a filthy billionaire, I'd buy the entire Carbide & Carbon building, make the top few floors my home and the street level floor a badass ebike/e-cargo bike shop. What to do with the middle, I'm not sure yet.

tbh, what is reported here is quite far from what “ground troops” suggests in popular discourse (& also still very risky).

The average price of a new car is 50k. There is no new car under 20. Gas is up 11% in one week.

Ride a bike.

Helps to be brand agnostic, you can get a 318 mile Equinox EV or IONIQ 5 for <$30k - new - with current incentives.

I knew my family switching to hybrid cars would be a good investment in the long run, but I didn't think the long run would get here so soon.

I gotta wonder if they bribed somebody

i disagree with Tanner Greer on a lot, but he's right

drip, i'm afraid

r/boston u/sevargmas • 7d • i.redd.it Can someone help a non-Boston person understand this map? (More details in post comment) So we are a help desk now? Illustration of early Boston I'm watching The American Revolution series by Ken Burns, and they keep using this map. It doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone help me understand this on a modern map?

(looks at photo from the past) why is this different?

Dear Straight people, we PROMISE you that saying "what if he's gay and having gay sex with this other person we don't like" is never funny. This is true of EVERY single person

All it does is cement the truth that straights, deep down, still think gay stuff is gross and perverted.

lol

I was pleased to see this.

These are the heating usage and cost of our four all electric houses here in southern WV.

It was a BRUTAL January and February, multiple weeks below 15F, a number of days around 0.

Still, at $.18/kwh the total monthly cost was $600-700 to heat all 4 houses. #heatpump

Unless these organizations are actually in NYC I just don't see why they need to take an opinion on a city which isn't theirs

It's a war film! It's a crime film! It's a romance! It's an anti fascist ode! It's all of those things and it works!

Stock market tanking again today and oil *way* up. What's crazy is Trump could've just rode out the current regression to the mean on inflation, combined with an apparent productivity boom. Instead, did the opposite of econ 101: kicked out workers, reduced immigration, started wars of choice.

what’s even more extraordinary is that the economy was mostly doing okay despite his absolute best efforts - as damaging as his tariffs and immigration policies are, we hadn’t tipped over into a recession

and so, unsatisfied, he decided to kick the economy in the dick with a huge oil shock
