The business model is that their membership fee is pure profit, then everything else is at cost/slightly cheaper to get you in the door and keep you a member, like the hot dogs. They absolutely pay their people great, with good benefits, and they tell every wall streeter to get hosed when they demand more efficiency by cutting worker pay.

They're only iffy with how they pay their on-floor contractors (like taste testers don't get paid anywhere near full employees) and their suppliers are equally iffy to cut costs related to the $5 rotisserie chickens. They lose money on said chickens, but there are sporadic reports of farm animal mistreatment. But they're fantastic overall and their cheap gas (if you can stand the lines) practically pay for the membership fee alone.

Kind of why I see the utility in the “kill it in the cradle” approach to poo poo like that and fascists and Tankies.

But fascism is driving a car and smoking cloves these days, it’s not in the cradle. We gotta really go nuclear on fascism.

The Tankies are, however, in the cradle.

no. corporations are profitable when they have access to a labor pool of educated, healthy workers in secure housing and with reliable access to transportation. They also need good infrastructure to connect them to their suppliers and customers, and good governance to reduce systemic uncertainty; from natural disasters, from political instability, and from crime. This is why the most profitable companies are found in the most developed cities; because that is where the the deepest and most productive labor pools, the best infrastructure, the least volatile governments are all located. None of this improves when schools get worse or people’s health care gets cut off or the housing stock crumbles from lack of occupancy.

I'm not sure what industry you work in where you can delude yourself into thinking corporations support labor pools of educated, healthy workers. Recent history is one of megacorps moving internationally to lower and lower skilled labor in an attempt to increase profits, leaving their skilled labor pools unemployeed and languishing in their original location.

A family friend worked at Costco for like 30 years and at one point had the entire family on her health insurance. Mostly because her husband’s company couldn’t match Costco’s benefits. She retired within the past few years and is doing pretty well for herself and her husband.

I bought a DSLR kit and a pair of pretty decent carbon trekking poles. Also being the human to two enormous black labs, I enjoy being able to pick up a 12 lbs bag of chicken jerky for dogs and grab a cheap hot dog on the way out.

Costco hotdogs seem to be particularly bad when it comes to the nitrates/nitrites, and it triggers the ever-loving hell out of my fibromyalgia. I love Costco hotdogs but if I actually eat one I feel like death for 24-36h.

Sure enough, if I buy uncured hotdogs, I do not have this problem.

Pasteurized process american cheese is fine, and arguably superior for melting on a burger.

Pasteurized process american cheese food/spread is still "real" food and has a place for making nachos or dip.

Pasteurized process american slices are vegetable oil textured into something resembling cheese. This has no place in your kitchen if you have any self respect.

Read your labels!

I don't think Twitter will actually die in a finite way, like the servers shutting down for good, for quite a long time. Much more likely is that it just withers away after all the advertisers and user base migrate away, leaving a tiny kernel of people screaming n-words at each other in between MyPillow ads.
