Loved both movies, this looks terrible, typical Disney cash grab. Empty, lame gameplay with decent visuals.
Yes, and when all the other car manufacturers add it, then it's all on the consumer too, right?
Enshittification is a problem, because in our "this quarter's profits trump all" world, sales leaders would be fired if they don't join the race to the bottom on whatever their product. This then takes away the power of the consumer marketplace to push back by not buying shit products and ideas. Remember airline bag fees? Know anyone who doesn't think they're a bullshit cash grab? Yet do 100% of consumers thinking it's shit have any power to change it in an industry with ~4 choices who all implemented similar policies within months of each other? There are countless other examples.
The mindset you argue pretends there isn't collusion, and that there IS a competitive marketplace.

Rest easy, the non-funny article about Mazda product enshittification by subacription is here https://www.motor1.com/news/729233/mazda-connected-services-remote-start-subscription/
That and the librarrrrry
They also yeah combine with recess time so some kids don't eat at all because they just want to energy release and play while others are just slower eaters, either way so unhealthy habit building.
Gotta get them ready for the work world where their employer will try to ignore their required (unpaid) lunch...
So I'm new to this and couldn't figure out why kids don't finish their lunch. Why are they given like 15 minutes to eat? It's unhealthy.
It's a bummer, but their economics were never far off from Nike..outsource manufacturing, low paid retail and a premium client base. The slide into anti-people was inevitable. They were clearly bad 3+ years ago, IIRC some of their store staff announced they were going to unionize and then suddenly they closed their headquarters store in Seattle. Same thing happened in Portland's pearl location under the cover of "safety"--straight out of Starbucks playbook from seattle--that the NLRB found them guilty of breaking labor law and forced them to negotiate with their employees as required by law.
You can understand why these douche companies want to get rid of NLRB...government isn't any fun when it pushes back against the powerful.
...just found this...certainly answers some questions https://www.geekwire.com/2021/longtime-amazon-retail-exec-joins-rei-as-its-first-chief-commercial-officer/
This is your reminder you should be already boycotting TJs as they joined a lawsuit with Musk and Bezos trying to claim the NLRB was unconstitutional because their employees are forming unions at such a quick rate as it's the only power they have. REI and Starbucks joined too.
I shopped at TJs for 17 years before that story broke this summer, haven't been in since. Money meet mouth.
This should have been settled in bankruptcy court as part of business wind down before anyone got a penny of assets divided proceeds. When it's not then another legal battle is required to get the company to do what it should have. Such a waste of time and needless burden for society. Unfortunately, regulatory capture and representative funding capture is almost total so no laws will be passed to change it.
19% YOY usage drop last month, 3.6% bill increase. It's been like this for months. Even if you're trying to limit your usage and save money, you get fucked. Such bullshit. Meanwhile the PUC came out and said they don't want to not approve these large increases PGE has requested every year because "it would set a bad precedent". Talk about in another world.
Their "why are my electricity charges higher" are also incorrect on weather, actually the exact opposite--the same page notes the period was 1 degree cooler than last year.
Kroger wants to buy Albertsons, a major competitor, who also owns Safeway, which Albertsons somehow was approved to buy 3-4 years ago. The attached is a good representation of what “choice” would look like if the merger were approved by the FTC for SE metro area of Portland; 6/10 larger grocers would be run by Kroger (WinCo, Costco, Grocery Outlet and New Seasons the only exception).
This is a big deal because:
If you want to slow grocery price gouging, support better conditions for customers and employees, be able to choose other companies when one isn’t meeting your needs, I highly recommend sharing your thoughts with the FTC and boycotting Kroger/Safeway/Albertsons as much as you can.
