gradenko_2000 posted:https://twitter.com/InvestingMag/status/1673228239001583619 Don't want to come across as defending brands here because I'm not, but this doesn't address the actual contents or quality of the products, just points out that they are made by the same brands. Which is only half the equation. There's lots of cases where the same brand will do a cheaper offbrand version of a product but they do it by greatly widening their tolerance limits and/or reducing the quality standards and changing the ingredients. Taking the infant formula example from that page - just because it's made by Abbott doesn't mean that it's an identical product to their flagship formulas. It very well may be, but you can only determine that by looking at what the ingredient mix is and what the tolerances are on the manufacturing, you can't just say "same company, therefore identical".

Ghost Leviathan posted:There is literally no incentive to care and everyone finally realised it The only incentive that would make sense in a world with no future and a dying biosphere is a combo of money and free time, two things I have been told my entire life you finally get when you retire at 65 with your investments. Lol, lmao. Imagine going to work and pretending things will more or less stay the same while you save for retirement and work on promotions for 2 decades.

I got a minute into that Report and it was just talking about stock values and marginal gains for logistics companies. Not even pretending to care about the people who just got their lives ruined lol very grim

It doesn't seem to have been a long term thing. They also didn't make their employee health insurance payment. America!

They got a bailout under the CARES act and used it mostly to acquire smaller companies (like the one my stepdad used to work at) Anybody got any of them jobs? Could really use a couple jobs here

I've read that manufacturers will do special versions of their products for Walmart that look identical to the same products that are sold in other stores but are more cheaply made so that they can keep up with Walmart constantly squeezing them for lower prices.

Trend lately at work is that hiring for all product-making positions are frozen. Someone leaves? Headcount goes down. But the coterie of director-level people to help the GM "make decisions" keeps increasing! While spending lots of cash on consultants to do the same. It's very efficient.

Paradoxish posted:The exception for bitcoin is honestly very funny This is likely because Bitcoin, unlike essentially all other cryptocurrencies, never had an "ICO" or similar event. Bitcoin arose somewhat organically and was not initially sold as an investment product. So the SEC views it more like gold (and hence not a security).
