I would suggest you look up exactly what they make. Plenty of grocery stores are publicly traded companies. Go ask a bodega owner.

If they were efficient for their owners, there profit would be a shit ton more than 3% of revenue.

Food dumping is its own issue. I bet the government grocery stores will have to follow the exact same laws.

The Piggly Wigley or the Bodega are not raking it in.

The problem is we are only talking about grocery stores where the revenue is only about 3%. Ton of problems with Big Ag which as you said is heavily subsidized. I don’t mind the redistribution. I think it is great optics. But I just think it is ineffective, because grocery stores (only talking stores) are in fact very efficient already.

Not a Republican, but there is a lot of nuance.

He can sell groceries at a loss because the money comes from other places…all of which is eventually paid for in taxes (in this case there is probably a small resitribution from rich to poor which I am happy with).

I don’t mind Democrats getting caught helping their constituents. But let’s not pretend he found some cheap grocery loophole; grocery store are already incredibly efficient, they only make ~3% profit. I am just speculating that the logistics needed to spin up govt groceries is much larger than the existing ~3% markup from the private sector.

I don’t know about the ethics, but forcing people to carry to term a baby with a significant developmental disability is unconscionable to me. It is very likely to ruin their marriage, finances, sanity, life, but the people that manage to do it are saints.

I don’t have to know a single one of those details, because I know for a fact that AC does not create a magic pressure differential within a house relative to the outside that could possibly negate hot humid air intrusion. That is your assumption, not mine. When the window is open the temperature differential across the opening with cause convention (mixing of the air). If his room actually is positively pressured enough relative to other rooms, then he is causing hot humid air to be pulling interior at other locations around the house.

I have sympathy for OP, but in 90F, that sucks for whoever is paying for the AC.

What magic pressure differential are you referring to? A/C recirculates indoor air and has slightly positive rooms and slightly negative rooms, but will always be net ~1ATM of pressure. If his room has slightly positive pressure and he opens the window, then guess what, hot humid air is being pulling into the house in other people’s rooms, hallways, bathrooms. This would also explain why he doesn’t experience the issues it would cause.

Yeah, that part is even more suspicious.

I actually believe he killed himself, but it is still a conspiracy, because he had tried before and they purposely broke all suicide watch protocols including leaving a ton of linens in his cell (he made multiple nooses), no roommate, and no one checking. They were paid to make sure he had plenty of opportunities to kill himself.
