I work in automotive as an engineer and that would be a red flag in our industry too. Our safety standards are only a fraction as strict as aerospace for obvious reasons (we’re not shooting cars through the atmosphere at the speed of sound!), but we’d never get away with this with the amount of audits and accountability that we’re held to. This whole saga is absolutely insane.

This investigation should be over quickly. Whereas at the beginning of Covid, it was cheaper to shop at Kroger than the local grocery co-op and the fresh thyme, both are now cheaper than Kroger by ~$50/week for a family of 3. The same carton of eggs at fresh thyme is half the price of Kroger. Make it make sense!!!

Rookie lefty 1B who can mash acquired from an NL West team right before the start of the season? Michael “Anthony Rizzo” Busch is his name!

I recognized it instantly also! I’ve never seen a fuck up that bad before, but I’ve seen plenty of trucks have to make a 3-point turn after getting stuck under that bridge.

Isn’t that what a timeshare is? Those have been around forever

They also have a few billboards on Interstate 69 in Indiana, in what can absolutely not be a coincidence!

I mean, it’s probably a little bit of both. It’s not like people will just stop buying gas in the near and medium-term, and once they got the goodwill and looked at their bottom line they realized that they could just keep the goodwill AND the money. Classic mega corporation move

Agreed, I feel like they probably abandoned the plan because they realized $100M wasn’t enough…
