[00:35]	DaemonFC	So I appealed in a five page complaint accusing him of being a liar and a fraud with almost 13,500 words in it spanning five pages.
[00:35]	TR News	Phoronix nowadays writes to -- or targets -- an audience that may not exist or barely exist. Like x86 lovers and Microsoft apologists who are ALSO interested in Free software. It's like trying to reconcile vegetarian site with cockfights. I saw sites perishing like this, e.g. adding pure politics to tech issues. The Phoronix sponsors aren't compatible with the audience.
[00:35]	DaemonFC	He has to reply to all of that now, so he has to sit down and do this again.

[01:27]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR, I got a lot of jabs in on the guy in my rebuttal letter and appeal.

[01:28]	schestowitz-TR	get the money back
[01:28]	schestowitz-TR	move on
[01:28]	DaemonFC	I accused him of being a liar who contradicts himself, how absurd his side of the argument is in light of the evidence and facts of the situation, and went further to call him mentally ill for threatening to call the cops on me.
[01:28]	DaemonFC	I didn't actually call him mentally ill.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	I said his behavior was "unacceptable", "inappropriate", and "unstable", and "puts his mental state in question". 
[01:30]	schestowitz-TR	borderline name-calling
[01:30]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR, When the law supports you, pound the law. When the facts support you, pound the facts. Where the law and the facts don't support you, pound the table.
[01:31]	schestowitz-TR	OK, code pushed to git now
[01:32]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR, Well, then I wrote to the bank stating my case with them.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	Basically, it boils down to. "I've been your customer since 2012." "My account has been in good standing." "I have never filed a card dispute with you until this one, in 11 years, because I usually do business with people who are stable and don't deal in shoddy merchandise." "I've put many thousands of dollars through your cards, generating you quite a bit of profit." "If you don't rule in my favor, I have other cards from other banks, and if I 
[01:34]	DaemonFC	feel I cannot trust you to decide a dispute case fairly and in a reasonable manner, I may decide to use those cards and not yours in case I run into a problem with a merchant again someday."
[01:35]	DaemonFC	"My spouse and other people I know have your cards, generate a lot of money for your bank, and I will inform them of how badly I was cheated by Mr. Chouhan and what the outcome of my dispute is."
[01:37]	DaemonFC	Basically, "It's not worth ruling in favor of a guy who is not only wrong, over a relatively small amount, and isn't even your customer.".
[01:38]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR, Even if they rule against me, the merchant has to pay the dispute fee even if they win.
[01:38]	DaemonFC	So he's already lost more than the amount in question even if he replies to my appeal and wins.
[01:38]	DaemonFC	He's lost twice as much to the dispute fee and yet more for having to sit down, dig up sales receipts, and write letters to the bank.
[01:39]	DaemonFC	And if he doesn't win, then he's in even more trouble than that plus the disputed amount.
[01:39]	DaemonFC	If you lose enough disputes, the banks flag you as high risk, and charge you higher interchange and dispute fees in the future.
[01:39]	DaemonFC	So you have to fight the disputes even though you've lost no matter what.
[01:40]	DaemonFC	There's also timelines, strict ones.
[01:41]	DaemonFC	Between all the back and forth, he can miss a deadline and I win, or he could just keep having to respond to more of my letters until late this year, over a small amount of money, over something that happened in April.
[01:42]		*Skywave has quit (connection closed)
[01:43]	DaemonFC	So there's multiple angles here and I probably win but even if I lose I can at least make it a loss for both sides.

[02:46]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR, The funny part I just found out is that since the bank accepted his representment and then my appeal is another chargeback case, he's going to get hit with another chargeback fee.
[02:52]	DaemonFC	I've won a dispute by rebutting a representment before. On John's account.
[02:52]	DaemonFC	One time, someone stole his credit card and went and had a $150 dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Disputed it. No response from the restaurant, won by default.
[02:53]	DaemonFC	He got mugged and the guy was able to charge $42.88 to his debit card at a corner shop before I could freeze all of his accounts. Disputed it, gave the bank the police report, won.
[02:54]	DaemonFC	Then he ordered a Nintendo Switch from B&H Photo in New York City, and I selected Signature Required. The UPS driver dropped it off no signature, it went missing. I filed a dispute, and the merchant sent a representment to Capital One.
[02:54]	DaemonFC	They basically went on and on about how it really got delivered and they claimed we were defrauding them. I only did the dispute because their customer service said they wouldn't accept responsibility for the lost package.
[02:55]	DaemonFC	So I filed a rebuttal and the bank decided in favor of John.

[02:55]	DaemonFC	So just because you file a representment doesn't mean you'll win. In fact, you may be worse off. If the cardholder files a rebuttal, your dispute fees go up and it counts as losing two chargebacks.
[02:56]	AdmFubar	so does this make it a "heart attack"?    https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2022/05/17/cardiologist-charged-for-use-and-sale-of-ransomware/

[12:24]	DaemonFC	In many cases, the driver was never anywhere near your home and all Walmart offers to do is to attempt to deliver what you ordered with a replacement.
[12:24]	DaemonFC	This must be getting more expensive than just paying a courier.

[20:26]	DaemonFC	schestowitz, They denied my appeal so I filed a second chargeback.
[20:26]	DaemonFC	This time I added yet more. I accused him of creating the situation by engaging in the sale of counterfeit car keys which are not GM authorized and cause the anti-theft computer to malfunction.
[20:27]	schestowitz_TR2	so they did not undo the payment after all?
[20:27]	DaemonFC	But I made it clear what sense of the word "counterfeit" I was using and that it was merely my opinion that it fit the definition of "counterfeit" as a noun, which is defined as "attempting to make a thing appear to be another thing of higher value".
[20:27]	schestowitz_TR2	you said they had returned the money
[20:27]	DaemonFC	<schestowitz_TR2> so they did not undo the payment after all?
[20:27]	DaemonFC	It's tricky, schestowitz_TR2 
[20:27]	DaemonFC	They return it immediately.
[20:27]	schestowitz_TR2	anyway, a bit off topic tbh
[20:28]	DaemonFC	Then the merchant responds. They close the case in favor of the merchant pending your response, and put it back on your credit card.
[20:28]	DaemonFC	At that point, you have to pay it, but you can appeal.
[20:28]	DaemonFC	If they deny your appeal, you can file it again as a "second chargeback", and they have to consider the case again with a different arbitrator looking over all of the documents.
[20:29]	DaemonFC	If the second arbitrator at the bank finds against you, and you, the bank, and the merchant still disagree, it goes into what is actually called "arbitration", where the case goes in front of the payment network instead of the bank.
[20:29]	DaemonFC	And the payment network makes a final ruling.
[20:30]	DaemonFC	If you lose the first chargeback, it can be beneficial to file another one. The merchant rarely continues to respond because if it goes to the payment network, they get whacked with more fees.
[20:31]	DaemonFC	Technically a dispute of any amount can go into arbitration, but usually only high dollar disputes go to the payment networks because the payment networks can sanction whoever loses.
[20:31]	DaemonFC	Like, if he sold me a $2,000 refrigerator that broke down and wouldn't take it back, it would be worth taking to the payment network.
[20:32]	DaemonFC	But a dispute over $69.99 probably isn't worth pursuing past a second chargeback at the bank.
[20:33]	DaemonFC	At some point you cut your losses, especially since the Buick dealer was at least able to save the remote control, which was $100, and Batteries Plus refunded $43.19 for the non-genuine key.
[20:33]	DaemonFC	So I'm down to being out $69.99 for his programming fee.
[20:34]	DaemonFC	But win or lose, you snowed the merchant under with paperwork from his bank and fees for handling the dispute. So even if he wins, he's probably still out at least the amount of $100, which means he doesn't really get to keep your money because of the expense of his time and fees from the bank.
[20:35]	DaemonFC	It's like "Okay asshole, I might not get my money back....but you won't keep it. The bank will.".
[20:35]	DaemonFC	schestowitz_TR2, And then you've created jobs, when you think about it.
[20:36]	DaemonFC	Because that money that got taken away from him goes to people at the bank from the Philippines who will be able to go home and feed their children tonight so that those children can grow up big and strong to have itty bitty children of their own. Thus creating the circle of life.

[20:44]	DaemonFC	be less than ideal. Consider some tepid off-brand cola compared to Classic Coke." 
[20:46]	DaemonFC	"However, Mr. Chouhan is charging very nearly what a licensed GM dealership would have, and selling a product that appears not to be compatible with a vehicle (at least my vehicle) at all, whereas the expectation of the consumer is that the system will work reliably."

[22:27]	DaemonFC	Okay, so it turns out that there's no difference between the Mach 3 disposable blades and the refill blades for the reusable handle. The blades will even pop off the disposable handles and work on the reusable handle, and the refill blades will attach to the disposable handles.
[22:27]	DaemonFC	It seems the only difference is that the reusable handle will probably last longer and feels better in your hand as you shave.
[22:28]	DaemonFC	The disposable ones are entirely plastic, and the reusable handle is mostly some sort of metal, and rubber grips.
[22:29]	DaemonFC	But if you already have some disposable handles, you could buy refill Mach 3 blades and keep using the handles until they wear out. You could probably use each one for months. By that time, you would have probably gone through a dozen blades per handle anyway.

[22:31]	DaemonFC	Gillette changes their position about how long their razor cartridges last depending upon how the overall economy is doing.
[22:32]	DaemonFC	During the 2008 recession, their CEO made the claim that one Mach 3 blade lasted for "months" and so it was worth more money than the generic competitors.
[22:32]	DaemonFC	Today, their website says "each blade cartridge lasts for 15 comfortable shaves".
[22:33]	DaemonFC	Because they feel that the economy is better and they can convince men to throw out their blades more often, I guess?

[22:34]	DaemonFC	You can probably push them a little longer than when they start to become uncomfortable, but "months" is a stretch.
[22:34]	DaemonFC	Gillette is certainly in a position to ensure that each cartridge starts out terrific and then degrades based on how often they want to sell more refills.
[22:35]	DaemonFC	If it happens on the second shave, their customer will feel cheated and stop buying them. If it happens a couple of times per month, the customer will write it off as wear and tear.

[23:01]	DaemonFC	<schestowitz_TR2> DaemonFC: first, loeer your bills
[23:02]	DaemonFC	That's difficult with Mandy insisting on accumulating white elephants like Apple products.
[23:02]	DaemonFC	Driving me crazy. Spending money behind my back if I say no.
[23:02]	schestowitz_TR2	I always laugh a little when the gov. helps with cash "Stimulus"
[23:02]	schestowitz_TR2	becauswe we know where this money come s from
[23:02]	schestowitz_TR2	from us
[23:02]	DaemonFC	Letting some idiot like his friend that can't figure out which county to drive to with her GPS on tell him what an asshole I am.
[23:03]	schestowitz_TR2	also, in some schemes they give those same stimulus checks also to billionaires
[23:03]	DaemonFC	Yeah, people making up to $250,000 a year or couples up to $500,000 a year get them.
[23:03]	DaemonFC	Because they'll really notice $50, won't they?
[23:03]	schestowitz_TR2	they don't pay that much tax either at millions per annum
[23:04]	schestowitz_TR2	don't know what the tax brackets are like in us states
[23:04]	DaemonFC	If they limited it too $100k/$200k, they could have sent out $100 per person.
[23:04]	schestowitz_TR2	but at some point you reach a 'root'
[23:04]	DaemonFC	But they send them out to MARISOL.
[23:04]	schestowitz_TR2	*roof
[23:04]	schestowitz_TR2	and you start paying LESS %-wise
[23:05]	DaemonFC	There is no bracket in Illinois. It's 4.95% on everything past a small personal exemption, which you don't get if you're extremely high income.
[23:05]		*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
[23:05]	DaemonFC	Even that is relatively new. The Democrats took away the personal exemption from rich people when they increased the tax rates to make it look like they did something to the rich.

[23:13]	schestowitz_TR2	DaemonFC: what are your options for findings  "gainful" employment?
[23:13]	schestowitz_TR2	things would sour quickly if Mandy lost his role
[23:13]	schestowitz_TR2	or lost hours
[23:14]	schestowitz_TR2	there needs to be an emergent counter-economy
[23:14]	schestowitz_TR2	not the fakecoin kind
[23:14]	schestowitz_TR2	parallel economies tend to get crushed
[23:15]	schestowitz_TR2	but you can make protestant movements
[23:15]	schestowitz_TR2	like the "buy nothing day"
[23:15]	schestowitz_TR2	make it week, not day
[23:15]	schestowitz_TR2	and crush the conformity
[23:15]	schestowitz_TR2	but anyway, back to my question
[23:15]	schestowitz_TR2	I think you tend to avoid those
[23:15]	activelow	schestowitz_TR2: i am planning to hack sixel support into gemini, certainly i'll notify once i got time to cope with it
[23:16]	schestowitz_TR2	which clients?
[23:16]	schestowitz_TR2	gemin is just a spec
[23:16]	schestowitz_TR2	not even a formal standard
[23:16]	activelow	not sure yet, my current favorite gemini client is cgmnlm ... written in C
[23:16]	schestowitz_TR2	it does not specitdypresentatyion either
[23:17]	schestowitz_TR2	it can just be a format for a screen reader
[23:17]	schestowitz_TR2	you can get wikipedia from gemini
[23:17]	schestowitz_TR2	hang on
[23:17]	schestowitz_TR2	but you need support for user prompt
[23:17]	schestowitz_TR2	amfora has that
[23:17]	schestowitz_TR2	telescope oes not
[23:18]	activelow	downloaded some wikipedia dump while ago, ideally i could handle this for offline reading, including search, gemini protocol support etc.
[23:19]	activelow	a tui gemini client will integrate perfectly with dvtm
[23:20]	activelow	btw. ffmpeg got some sixel support too, and hacking support for this into any gemini client shouldn't be too difficult
[23:20]	schestowitz_TR2	how do you watch video?
[23:20]	schestowitz_TR2	mplayer? mpv?
[23:21]	activelow	currently, mplayer-1.4 with vo=sdl and fbcon output
[23:21]		*techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[23:21]	bnchs	i'm hacking mpv right now
[23:21]	activelow	already hacked some vt-switching into libsdl1, yet with sixel output this should be alot easier
[23:22]	activelow	i had seen some discussions surrounding mpv too, for sixels, anyway, don't remember the exact reason, i'll keep legacy mplayer-1.4
[23:23]	activelow	now i remember, mplayer-1.4 got support for libsdl1, mpv requires libsdl2 (c++); mplayer-1.4 got fbcon support, mpv has not and supports undesireable libdrm/kms instead
[23:23]	chicksahoy	i like vlc
[23:25]	activelow	granted, vlc is open source, with permissive licensing... there is other reasons to refrain from this type of software
[23:29]		*goosestepping_ has quit (Quit: Ping timeout: Over 9000!!!)

[23:33]	schestowitz_TR2	isn't vlc lgpl\?
[23:34]	bnchs	schestowitz_TR2, yes
[23:34]		*goosestepping_ (~goosestepping@8yeu6aq64pd7a.irc) has joined #techrights
[23:34]	DaemonFC	<schestowitz_TR2> DaemonFC: what are your options for findings  "gainful" employment?
[23:34]	bnchs	it is compatible with MPV (which was partly relicensed to LGPL)
[23:34]	DaemonFC	I don't really know. Walmart is kind of the economy.
[23:34]	schestowitz_TR2	look at wikipedia
[23:35]	schestowitz_TR2	largest employers
[23:35]	schestowitz_TR2	from memory, walmart is about 2 million workers
[23:35]	schestowitz_TR2	and that's US alone
[23:35]	schestowitz_TR2	zmazon is about a million
[23:35]	schestowitz_TR2	but not only us
[23:35]	schestowitz_TR2	so waltons are controlling many households
[23:35]	DaemonFC	They're such a big part of the American economy that they have more US employees than the number of soldiers in the entire military, plus civilian contractors.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	They've been allowed to get too big to fail.
[23:36]	schestowitz_TR2	iirc, many blame it on the clintons (1990s)
[23:36]	schestowitz_TR2	but I don't know whyt
[23:36]	DaemonFC	Yeah, directly and indirectly, schestowitz_TR2 
[23:36]	DaemonFC	What happens if lots of people lose their jobs at Walmart?
[23:36]	schestowitz_TR2	we boycott walmart
[23:36]	schestowitz_TR2	(asda)
[23:36]	DaemonFC	They have no money to spend, it leads to a knock on effect, where millions more lose their jobs because the people who worked at Walmart can't spend anything shortly.
[23:37]	schestowitz_TR2	this is the sick thing
[23:37]	schestowitz_TR2	(correct me if wrong)
[23:37]	schestowitz_TR2	they killed the market
[23:37]	schestowitz_TR2	they dominate what's left of it
[23:37]	schestowitz_TR2	and now they drown?
[23:37]	DaemonFC	They killed the market with cheap prices and low wages.
[23:37]	schestowitz_TR2	as supposed "market leader"?
[23:37]	DaemonFC	Now they raise wages and prices.
[23:37]	schestowitz_TR2	like various "tech" companies in  their respective areas
[23:37]	schestowitz_TR2	"we dominate, but we cannot make money!! HELPP!!!!!!!!"
[23:38]	schestowitz_TR2	uber, lyft...
[23:38]	DaemonFC	They used low wages and prices to gain market share in a predatory manner, leading to much urban blight.
[23:38]	DaemonFC	They'd have managers go through cities and write down all the local retailers and when they wanted to "destroy" each one by.
[23:38]	schestowitz_TR2	armco is now highest valued company in the world
[23:38]	schestowitz_TR2	ksa oil
[23:38]	DaemonFC	They had a target date by which there'd be a going out of business sale everywhere else.
[23:38]	schestowitz_TR2	aramco
[23:38]	DaemonFC	And they would do whatever they had to in order to make it happen.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	They managed to ruin Marsh Supermarkets in Indiana.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	It was a huge chain of groceries when I was a kid, and they had all the best stuff.
[23:39]	DaemonFC	Walmart strategically placed their supercenters where there was a nearby Marsh in a coordinated attack on all fronts.
[23:40]	schestowitz_TR2	I saw many people in Tesco today sniffing around sdicounts
[23:40]	DaemonFC	They looked at what the prices were there and they always made sure they were very nearly half the cost on everything.
[23:40]	schestowitz_TR2	on a good day you can save like 50 pounds
[23:40]	schestowitz_TR2	that's like half a day's work
[23:40]	schestowitz_TR2	and it's actually fun
[23:40]	schestowitz_TR2	unlike work
[23:40]	DaemonFC	And it didn't take long before there was nobody shopping at Marsh. Then when Marsh laid off, the workers would get a job at Walmart making several dollars per hour less.
[23:40]	DaemonFC	This goes along with Walmart commanding their suppliers to offshore everything.
[23:41]	DaemonFC	Fire their workers.
[23:41]	schestowitz_TR2	aldi is trying to get people to replace the workers
[23:41]	schestowitz_TR2	the clients become till operators
[23:41]	DaemonFC	Then they can't get a good job and have to shop and work at Walmart.
[23:41]	schestowitz_TR2	but enough people refuse
[23:41]	DaemonFC	So this is how all that happened.
[23:41]	schestowitz_TR2	they will make the queues longer
[23:41]	schestowitz_TR2	to punish us
[23:41]	DaemonFC	Sam Walton was a brilliant guy, absolutely vicious too.
[23:41]	DaemonFC	And his management style outlived him.
[23:41]	DaemonFC	Today, though, the people running Walmart haven't got a clue, and so it's all unraveling on them.
[23:42]	DaemonFC	Yesterday was a terrible dark day for Walmart's stock. Worst in history.
[23:42]	schestowitz_TR2	good!
[23:42]	schestowitz_TR2	maybe coop farms will form
[23:42]	DaemonFC	And it's a harbinger of things to come because the people running it are squandering their market position.
[23:42]	schestowitz_TR2	and replace this megacorporatisation
[23:42]	schestowitz_TR2	the food does not come from walmart
[23:42]	schestowitz_TR2	it goes INTO walmart
[23:42]	schestowitz_TR2	bypass them
[23:43]	DaemonFC	Maybe something better comes along, maybe something worse. For a while, it looked worse (Amazon).
[23:43]	DaemonFC	But Amazon is losing money hand over fist now.
[23:43]	schestowitz_TR2	apparently a very close frieend of Jeffrey Esptein owns the most farmland in the US
[23:43]	DaemonFC	$700 million alone on some stupid battery car company that went bankrupt.
[23:43]	schestowitz_TR2	Amazon had losses about a decade ago
[23:43]	schestowitz_TR2	they are not as healthy as they want shareholders to believe
[23:44]	DaemonFC	Yeah, they turned profitable, and then it looks like things are going the other way now.
[23:44]	schestowitz_TR2	like Microsoooft, they get "defence" budget
[23:44]	DaemonFC	Bezos has no reason to care.
[23:44]	schestowitz_TR2	you need to check their "taxpatyers subsidy"
[23:44]	schestowitz_TR2	and compare to thr profit
[23:44]	schestowitz_TR2	not revenue
[23:44]	DaemonFC	He diverted many billions and if the company collapses he's not going to hurt because of it.
[23:44]	schestowitz_TR2	it might be the case they operate at a loss
[23:44]	schestowitz_TR2	and the taxpayers makes up for the losses
[23:45]	DaemonFC	Mom is addicted to Amazon shopping.
[23:45]	schestowitz_TR2	it's not shopping
[23:45]	schestowitz_TR2	shopping is something else
[23:45]	DaemonFC	She says, oh you can't find some of this stuff anywhere else. Where do you find a portable washing machine?
[23:45]	schestowitz_TR2	it's like calling porn "having sex"
[23:45]	DaemonFC	I told her, "On the homelabs website. It's the same price. They ship it to you and you have a washing machine.".
[23:46]	schestowitz_TR2	ebay has turned very nasty
[23:46]	schestowitz_TR2	it keeps changing rianne's listings
[23:46]	schestowitz_TR2	like reducin the prices
[23:46]	schestowitz_TR2	without her consent
[23:46]	schestowitz_TR2	and free shipping etc.
[23:46]	schestowitz_TR2	because ebay must be struggling
[23:46]	DaemonFC	Yeah, and they totally fuck up your account and make you call them to sort it out if you log in while you're on a VPN.
[23:46]	schestowitz_TR2	and they try to force more sales to happen
[23:47]	schestowitz_TR2	at the expense of sellers
[23:47]	schestowitz_TR2	rianne is livid!
[23:47]	DaemonFC	What did they do to her?
[23:47]	schestowitz_TR2	they change her listings
[23:47]	schestowitz_TR2	without her consent
[23:47]	schestowitz_TR2	I said, maybe there'sa setting to turn that off
[23:47]	schestowitz_TR2	also, their site got a lot worse
[23:47]	DaemonFC	They change the price when you do a Buy It Now listing?
[23:48]	schestowitz_TR2	with "sites" they get to change ther software remotely
[23:48]	schestowitz_TR2	you cannot use "old" GUI
[23:48]	DaemonFC	Unless they happen to permit you too.
[23:48]	schestowitz_TR2	they just send it from the server to the client (broweser)
[23:48]	DaemonFC	Like Old Reddit.
[23:48]	DaemonFC	*to
[23:48]	DaemonFC	But they try to divert you from Old Reddit now, and you need a browser extension to deflect those redirects.
[23:49]	schestowitz_TR2	ebay needs to go under
[23:49]	schestowitz_TR2	arse technica (conde nast) also
[23:49]	schestowitz_TR2	now  conde nasty is suing
[23:49]	schestowitz_TR2	over trademarks
[23:49]	DaemonFC	I think Amazon is going to collapse. Walmart? I doubt it.
[23:49]	schestowitz_TR2	some town called "vogue" iirc
[23:49]	schestowitz_TR2	they they they own the word
[23:49]	DaemonFC	Amazon collapsing would be good for Walmart.
[23:49]	schestowitz_TR2	or that some magazine "owns" the word
[23:49]	DaemonFC	They get to pick over the corpse and take back some marketshare.
[23:50]	DaemonFC	Walmart hates Amazon. They hate them.
[23:50]	schestowitz_TR2	those are not complementary
[23:50]	DaemonFC	They consider every sale that Amazon makes to be stolen marketshare that is rightfully Walmart's.
[23:50]	schestowitz_TR2	people need to build an economy outside those few monoliths
[23:50]	DaemonFC	That's why every time Amazon introduces something, Walmart does too, and then tries to one up them.
[23:51]	schestowitz_TR2	walmart can use the food just to get people to buy clothes and stuff
[23:51]	schestowitz_TR2	even sell food at a loss
[23:51]	schestowitz_TR2	for the "convenience" of buying everything on the same trip
[23:51]	schestowitz_TR2	but it's based on a false assumption
[23:51]	schestowitz_TR2	I don't go food shopping to buy gadgets or clothes "casually"
[23:52]	schestowitz_TR2	so they they have extensive whole depoartments in asda with hardly a person in them
[23:52]	schestowitz_TR2	long aisles, zero people
[23:52]	schestowitz_TR2	and the moment people just come to shop for cheap break and generic "coke", they will be finished
[23:53]	schestowitz_TR2	and the diversion of customers to "self-checkout" will be exhausted as expense lowerer
[23:53]	schestowitz_TR2	once they exhaust this avenue
[23:53]	schestowitz_TR2	walmart wants to become warehousemark
[23:53]	schestowitz_TR2	come, pick up items from storage, leave them "digital" cash
[23:54]	schestowitz_TR2	no operational costs
[23:54]	schestowitz_TR2	but customers would hate it
[23:54]	schestowitz_TR2	we bought three bag-fuls today
[23:54]	schestowitz_TR2	for under 10 pounds!
[23:54]	schestowitz_TR2	that's less than the salary of one supervisot for an hour
[23:55]	schestowitz_TR2	not counting their replenishment and operational costs 
[23:55]	schestowitz_TR2	maybe ussa will be the next russia/ussr and rationing will start in a few years
[23:56]	schestowitz_TR2	while CNN bags about the "booming" economy
[23:56]	DaemonFC	<schestowitz_TR2> and the moment people just come to shop for cheap break and generic "coke", they will be finished
[23:56]	DaemonFC	That's basically all I buy usually, on their website.
[23:56]	schestowitz_TR2	*bread
[23:56]	DaemonFC	Consumables (food, razors, toothpaste, toothbrush heads, cat food.....laundry soap).
[23:57]	DaemonFC	And if it gets as expensive as the supermarket, why would I go to Walmart anymore?
[23:57]	DaemonFC	So they're trapped.
[23:57]	schestowitz_TR2	I stopped with razors two months ago, moved back to shaver
[23:57]	schestowitz_TR2	water and gas became expewnsive
[23:57]	schestowitz_TR2	I can also watch videos while I use a shaver
[23:58]	DaemonFC	Yeah, I dump the water from the dehumidifier into the washing machine.
[23:59]	DaemonFC	It's not cheap to run the dehumidifier, but since I have waste water from it anyway....
