There was a German or Austrian guy who because well known because he managed to publish a large database showing conclusively that many special offers in supermarkets were rigged nonsense ... anyone remember who this was and whether there is a website for this?

So you force to give up their nukes, you don't follow up with your "security assurances" when first attacked. It's 2 years after the full scale invasion, and the aid for Ukraine is paused, and now you have the audacity to tell Ukraine to not attack russian refineries because "think of the oil 🥺"

We Found That #Landlords Could Be Using Algorithms to Fix #Rent Prices. Now Lawmakers Want to Make the Practice Illegal.

After a ProPublica investigation, U.S. senators introduced a bill to curb “price fixing” linked to rent-setting software.

“Setting prices with an algorithm is no different from doing it over cigars and whiskey in a private club,” said one sponsor.

The company that runs the complex where we are now uses this to set every day.

I've been the daily advertised price for a while now and the variations of the price for the same unit from day to day should be illegal. Example: Over the course of just four days, I tracked rent prices of three-bedroom units go down $310 on a Saturday and go up $205 the following Tuesday. How does that happen?

"The number of beef cattle in the US is the lowest it’s been in years. Part of this dates back to the pandemic, when safety issues at meat packing plants and supply chain snags meant ranchers couldn’t sell their cows. At the same time, the cost of the hay to feed the cattle went through the roof. The result: Herds got a lot smaller."

Companies are profiting handsomely while inflation rages, report says.

Corporate profits surged to a 53% share of inflation in 2023, compared to just 11% pre-pandemic, suggesting businesses are padding prices, not just covering costs.
