The U.S. company said in October it planned "modest" price increases this year as demand held up despite rises, leading it to hike its 2023 profit forecast for a third straight time.
They will simply keep raising prices until demand plateaus. It has nothing to do with production costs or shipping costs- they will gauge us for every single penny simply because they can. And if sales drop they will still make more money than before because a bag of chips that used to be $2.49 is now $5.99.
i agree with other posters.. their best option is throwing it back to the states. they can rule that the states each get to decide on 'is insurrectionist' that is then only removable by 2/3rds of congress, per the constitution. leaves them without having to actually make a decision.
NAL but isn't Constitutional law a federal issue the must be ruled on by SCOTUS? Otherwise it seems that SCOTUS would, in effect, be redundant if states can individually rule on constitutional matters.
This presents an interesting problem for Republicans, and by interesting I mean an unwinnable scenario.
See, if the conservative judges put Trump back on the ballot, they will instantly give more ammunition to people already screaming for court reform.
That's the one thing the conservative legal movement fears.
On the other hand, if they don't come up with some excuse to justify putting Trump back on the ballot, the maga mob will declare them traitors and might actually try to kill them.
The trick will be threading that needle, and I don't think it's possible.
I assume the Republican establishment wants to get rid of Trump, but they also want to be able to blame it on the democrats so that it helps their preferred candidate and they don't anger their base.
Weirdly, I think some in the democratic establishment haven't learned their lesson, and want Trump to run. Arguably easier to beat for Biden. Super risky strategy though, given inflation.
Withholding poles but sending tents means that Israel can say they allowed shelters to get through ... even if they're useless without tent poles.
Lies are still lies when they're of omission vs outright false info.
In Rafah, inside Gaza, Reuters reporters saw a pile of what looked like thick canvas tents, discarded on the floor in a corner of the Kuwait Hospital. This was because they had been delivered without poles, according to Dr Suhaib al-Hams, chairman of the hospital's board of directors.
A Gaza social affairs ministry official said he was aware of about 150 tents arriving without poles, out of 30 trucks loaded with tents.
I’ve helped ensure that our ravenous base is completely unable to think about gun-related legislation with any nuance or thought. I’ve done a great job at keeping this country as a threat to children. I’m going to go relax now.
I really have to wonder if they've gotten some kind of pre-emptive support from Biden that is making them believe they'll suffer no harm from retaliatory Lebanese strikes.
Even if covid didnt exist, in a hospital or doctors office masks just make sense. You have no idea what communicable diseases are sitting right next to you, the uncomfortableness of wearing a mask is well worth it to avoid catching some horrible cold.
I just want to preempt any debate over whether these claims are credible by saying that they are fundamentally not relevant to the long-term needs of this situation.
Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel need to be afforded their human rights. Israelis need security, and will never get it from violence and ruthless persecution of this ethnic underclass they've created.
My point is that if you diagram out the best of course of action, all nodes on that diagram that are based on what Hamas has or hasn't done lead to no meaningful difference. Their violence is abhorrent. There is no point is debating over their tactics or location however, because none of it changes the harsh realities that only a negotiation that provides Palestinians access to safe homes, education, food, etc. is going to bring an end to the cycle of violence, and I feel compelled to point this out whenever these distractions pop up, as they do on a daily basis.
An iron curtain of the internet is serving who exactly?
If we "Cut Russia off" the state will definitely be able to circumvent the block, ordinary people won't.
At the moment ordinary Russians can and do circumvent the Russian states censorship and that's a very good thing. We don't want to enforce that from our side too.
