2025 Got to Online Store Type "toilet paper" in search bar. Instead of simply saying, "Sorry, we have no toilet paper" they expect you to scroll through 50,000 variations of "toilet seats", "toilets", "toilet brushes", "paper", "paper toilets", "paper brushes" only to finally discover there are no entries for "toilet paper", etc. and discover for yourself that they have no toilet paper.

Also tax breaks. Many large corpos negotiated city tax breaks for bringing a certain number of employees into downtowns. If those numbers don't meet minimums, the tax breaks go away.
Any we all know how much time, effort and expense a business person will go through to avoid paying $1 in taxes.

Cursed Dice (odd-numbered dice) Kickstarter campaign ends 11/14 by sturger in c/dnd@lemmy.world

“cursed dice allow you to give your players a unique die to use for the session to show the effect of their misguided actions. A D19 to show a curse that prevents criticals and natural 20s.”

To emphasis the “effect of their misguided actions” the numbers on the dice should be really difficult to read.

This experience has taught me more about CEO competence than anything else.

DA says 40 UnitedHealthcare execs got bodyguards, and one dyed her hair after Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson by sturger in c/news@lemmy.world

So how many of the execs said, “This job isn’t worth risking my life for” and quit? How many of them said, “Maybe we should examine how we do business and change.”? How many of them said, “My God. We’re killing people. I’m out.”?

The title is a bit of an exaggeration.

Why do corporations change shampoo and toothbrushes so often? I'll go through 10 different shampoos and toothbrushes, then find ones I like. I'll probably be able to purchase them again a few times before the ones I like are no longer available.

What are the forces driving manufacturer's to change their basic wares so often? Besides Wall St. greed, that is?

After donating $1m to Trump and axing DEI, Target CEO watches his salary get chopped in half by tariffs and angry shoppers by sturger in c/upliftingnews@lemmy.world

[-] sturger@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 month ago

Oh no! His salary was slashed 50% to only $9M?!?!? How does the poor dear survive?

Most of us survive on less than 1% of that. Yay! We're One Percenters!

Every time I see these “We’ll do X in/around the ocean” projects I think, “These people have not spent a lot of time near the ocean.”
