Gotta take the rubes for everything they're worth. I wonder how many inheritances that fucking guy has sacked.

No rum ham‽

I usually just respond "I'm a sustainer".

I'm too seen here. Time to hide.

This is truly unnerving; and the fact that it probably cost an acre of trees or some shit to generate makes it even worse.

Yeah, not really, at all.

That's just medical too haha -- $150 extra a month for dental, which covers 2 cleanings a year and X-rays every five. No emergency or orthodontic work.

Everytime I hear someone tell me how well our system works, it makes me convulse with fury.

$896 per month in premiums, and about $18k out of pocket so far this year in addition. Me and two kids.

ANTIFAshion

Du

Yep, I think this is part of the answer.

I'm guessing another is identifying which members are primarily using membership card and cash, membership attached to an alternative FOP from their in-house charge (Citi currently), and digital native customers who are all in on the ecosystem.

Those data points can be used in several manners as Costco can glean valuable marketing insights into their customer base, their shopping habits, and their frequency. More than likely it will be used in ongoing in-house charge provider negotiations to ensure favorable terms for offering their services exclusively.

I much prefer to be the butt of jokes and thus not arousing any suspicion that we have it pretty good up here.

I beg ya pardon, this is my secret garden.

You forgot something about skibidi rizzler Ohio...

Amen friend, all through the early pandemic days and afterwards I've been damned proud of what Walz brings to the table. He's been a good governor -- I guess we have to share now.

Ill be saddened to lose him as governor, but to see him go onto larger issues and to help more people -- I guess that's a sacrifice we can make. Flanagan seems to a be competent lieutenant gov, so we're still helmed by good people.

Go Harris / Walz!

Better than jagged carpet at your bedside.

Have to laugh while dying a little inside when 'free market' people cry about banks, insurance companies, real estate, and other mega corps 'needing' bailouts.

Isn't that the essence of the free market? If companies suck shit, they die. The American people need a fucking bailout right now before another international corporation.

Just theirs.

But you know, not a bad thought.
