  • Kroger actively wants their employees to do this. (Source: worked in this hellhole for 13 years. Would choose homelessness/starvation over going back)

    Its a psycholigical trick to make you think its cheaper than it is. Intended to make you think subconciously “It can’t be that expensive if they treat it this poorly.”

    I do think they picked the wrong product for this treatment considering shrink and high price. It should be shit like dvds and other durable products.







  • I didnt even know germans were interned. But I do think there is relevant context.

    120,000 Japanese-Americans were concentrated, 2/3rd of which were citizens. 127,000 lived on the continental US. There were 150,000 living in Hawaii of which only 1,800 were confined.

    Meanwhile German-Americans numbered in 12 million, of which 11,500 (described as overwhelmingly German Nationals but cannot find hard numbers) were forcibly detained. I cannot find numbers for family members who voluntairily entered the camps who are also uncounted.

    They’re both injustices, but one does seems more egregious than the other. Both in raw numbers and in proportion.

    But thanks for that wikipedia dive.













  • Jesus, the coffee was hot lawsuit was about 3rd degree burns an elderly woman in the passenger seat of a stopped car sustained requiring skin grafts. She sued after McDonalds refused to cover her medical bills, and discovery revealed that McDonalds recklessly kept thier coffee hotter than their competitors despite the known saftey risks because it bumped thier bottom line. They had recorded complaints from 100s of other injured customers.

    She was awarded millions of dollars in punative damages by the jury. The number was based on one days sales of coffee by McDonalds.
