Definitely some greed. One grocery store here charges 50% more than the other just because (imagine: it’s a Kroger owned store). Neither store is a discount or lower-end store either. Ridiculous.
And coincidentally (or no really coincidentally at all), OP’s pic looks like a Kroger owned store too based on the price tag and the inconvenience sticker. Shocker that they’d charge that price 🙄
Sure, but I think the point is that raising minimum wage didn’t cause that. Inflation (read: corporate greed) really harmed grocery, food, etc. prices, especially during the pandemic. It truly became a game of how much can we raise these prices until people consider not paying for it
That’s right: usually. Sometimes no. Or sometimes the volume of water only slowly drains away (like some rivers move extremely slowly and it’s almost as if it’s not moving at all). If it takes 3 days for the water in the normally filled river to move 1 mile, even if it takes 2 days with the flooded valley to drain instead of 3, that’s still 2 days of floods.
Imagine you drop a bunched up shirt onto the floor. If you look, you’ll see that there are lower spots surrounded on all sides of high spots. Terrain irl is not so different from that in spots. Hope this helps explain :)
If a 400 sq mi area gets 2 ft of rain and there’s a low valley area surrounded mostly by mountains, the water will drain down the mountainsides to the valley. It’s like a big bowl. The water that settles in the valley will be more than 2 ft because of the rest of the runoff from even higher elevations
Kroger next 👏👏
It depends how close you sit to your TV and how large the TV is. I can tell a difference if I’m close enough or if the screen is large enough. As well, try turning on a streamed 1080p show and using a 4k bluray (if you have all of thrsr things). When you stand close (like, closer than you’d watch), you can really see the difference. As you back away, it becomes less noticeable, but even at comfortable viewing distances people can see the difference
You can see an example on your phone. Try watching a video in 1080p and then 480p. You should notice a difference, even if you hold your phone a foot from your face it’s the same idea when watching on a tv.
For some people who aren’t too picky, it might be a one-stop shop. Also true for some basics, like bread, milk, eggs, some produce, or common frozen stuff.
If you are looking for extra variety or less-common ingredients, you’ll have to also shop at a bigger supermarket. But since we usually use cars in the US, it’s not too big a deal to do both the same day
This looks a lot like Indianapolis. The bridges like this downtown are awful, but also how did they manage to get the truck so stuck??
The two big problems for me are (1) increased slowness and lag, and (2) phantom notifications (a red 10 dot in the bottom notifications but I click in and see that it’s empty)
It’s correct how it is. It’s acting as an adjective, as if you said “red shelter.” “Migrant’s shelter” would mean the shelter belongs to one migrant. “Migrants’ shelter” would mean the shelter belongs to a group of migrants, which is also incorrect because they do not own it. Hope this helps :)
Yes, I think it comes from the same rule. Estados Unidos is plural, so the abbreviation is doubled single letters. Sometimes English does this too (pp. for pages or §§ for sections). There are other examples in Spanish too.
