    There was a podcast episode about this. I want to say freakonomics or similar.

    Iirc, the margins on mattresses are crazy. People will comparison shop, not realizing that many of the stores are subsidiaries of the same company. Stores often don’t have the exact mattress (different models at different stores making pricing matching impossible) so you’re down to making gut decisions.











  • Piracy is a result of a service problem. I would gladly pay a reasonable fee monthly for access to any and every show I want to watch. I’m for sure am not going to pay for 12 different streaming services so I can watch severance on one, the office on another, the wire on a third when I can just download it for free.

    Hell I would pay a pirate a monthly amount just to have seamless turnkey access. But the level of effort is so low these days that honestly there’s no reason to pay for streaming.




  • To give a huge benefit of the doubt, we haven’t had fascism times for these school shooters.

    If a shooter makes it to arrangement today, I would expect fascism to make an example out of them as well and slap terrorism charges.

    The analogy, while clumsy, is still accurate: the rules for us do not apply to the rich and powerful.

    For fuck sakes we have a convicted felon as president and at his sentencing the judge said, “Uh, woopsie! Guess the jury was wrong. Go about your life, dear rich citizen.”
