I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Let’s instead be realistic and talk about central planning. We know from the 20th century that when politicians, authoritarians or both substitute their intensely narrow knowledge for that of the marketplace that immense want for very little (and lousy) supply is the logical result.

His pov seems to be that the economy cannot be understood by mankind, so at a certain level of regulation, shortages will happen that aren't the result of anything in particular except those regulations. Calling them supply chain shortages is wrong because there's no describable reason why the shortages happen. The economy has a soul and you removed it when you tried to regulate it. So covid lockdowns removed the soul from the economy.

If you believe capitalists treat the economy as an unstable god, to which sacrifices must be made, this guy is here to tell you: they do.

in another thread someone claimed that the motivation for the door screens was so prices could be jacked up when a disaster cuts off drinking water updated in real time, and definitely not to blast ads off of any imaginable surface.

in any case I hope someone makes a diet app to publicly shame me on the refrigerator screen when I try to buy ice cream soon

e: they’re definitely still going to show ads though, no doubt

That may have been me. And it's not only a matter of updating prices in real-time; if you can do that, and you're using something like Amazon's no-checkout model, where it just charges you as you wheel your cart out the door, they could charge different individuals different prices based on the personal data they have gathered about you.

your fitness tracker will report to Walgreens whether you have just been exercising so they know how desperate you might be for a drink so they can price things accordingly.

moving from paper coupons to everything being on store loyalty cards with personalized coupons on a coupon app with bizarre discounts like 23 cents off a bag of chips and netflix-style recommender systems pushing new stuff on you thinks you'll buy was step 1. the next step is trying to track you throughout the store via bluetooth or whatever and pitching you stuff on your coupon app in real time, or tracking your web usage through the store's free wifi to see that you're looking up the price for this thing on amazon and then immediately offering to match that price so they don't lose that sale.

Like, I'm not even a marketing person; this is probably one of the less-disturbing ways they'll use this technology.

And while I can't think of a way how, I'm sure they'll make it racist, too.
