The glasses I ordered from Zenni showed up today and they’re as good or better from initial impressions than the local optical shop glasses with Essilor “high quality” lenses that cost five times as much.

I just got a pair and they're blurry as poo poo. Same prescription. Oh well Zenni is still ftmfw

Data like this is utterly unsurprising because the response to any bad news from economic talking heads is to insist more and more loudly that everything is fine. The talk only dies down once a recession is already declared or seems inevitable, which is when they start immediately declaring the beginning of a recovery.

Also kind of undermines the lie that recessions are hard or impossible to predict. It's more like they're clearly visible from a mile away but the media just gaslights everyone into pretending that's not actually a freight train barreling down the tunnel.

I think it was either Mark Blythe or Yanis Varoufakis who said that if a weatherman tells you it's about to rain, his prediction has no bearing on whether or not it will actually rain, but if an economist tells you there's about to be a recession, that in itself can set off a recession, so the profession is tainted and isn't objective.

Stanley cups have collectible limited editions in special colors and such, there is some collectathon mania kicking in and people are going all in on the cups, partially fueled by influencers. You can set up an entire wall of shelves and display your new in box cups like they're funkopops or beanie babies.

I read here that Stanley sales in 2023 were 10x in 2022, they nailed something in the formula.

tiktok + artificial scarcity ftw

if you can get the white mormon mom tiktok-pinstagramm customer base, you can make anything a new meme trend for $$$$$$$$$

seriously, the well-to-do upper-class (or facade-laced upper-class aspiring) white mormon mom is extremely powerful, because they sell a vision of happiness and 'success' in a immaculately clean giant mcmansion in utah for the lonely disarrayed voyeuristic consumers who lust for the 'perfect home and family' to live vicariously through

they retooled their marketing strategy from aiming at "blue-collar workers" who might want a rugged implement to carry around on a hike or to a construction site (yes I know this in itself is somewhat of a mythologized ideal of an American man) to instead appeal to young women as a sort of faddy status symbol.

quote:

With a stated goal of targeting institutional "bad actors" — and amid concern about the impact growing numbers of international students are having on the housing market — Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Monday that the federal government will cap the number of student permits over the next two years.

The government says it will approve approximately 360,000 undergraduate study permits for 2024 — a 35 per cent reduction from 2023.

Each province and territory will be allotted a portion of the total, distributed according to population. The federal government says this will result in "much more significant decreases in provinces where the international student population has seen the most unsustainable growth."

I'm a little surprised it worked, but good on them for finding the correct marketing formula I suppose. and ruthlessly striking as hard as possible while the iron is hot
