littlecolt , in McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens

You know it’s bad when Americans won’t buy burger.

IMALlama ,

Oh, I still buy burgers. I’ll just go to a burger establishment to get them instead. Fast food used to be fast (aka convenient) and cheap. Now it’s just fast.

Note that I was not a frequent fast food eater before this, but I have pivoted to going to restaurants when I forget my lunch.

joyjoy , in Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline

I get free starbucks at work. It has to be pretty good to make it worth crossing the street to the main campus.

SeaJ , in Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline

I live in Seattle so I’m obviously not going to visit them when their are a dozen good small cafés within a stone throw of any Starbucks. On the few occasions that I have been there recently, the specialty drinks (I drink the occasional latte) are terrible. That should not be surprising since they are made by minimum wage teenagers. The food is crap. All of it is overpriced.

Also, fuck Howard Schulz.

I love telling people that it’s not actually the first Starbucks after all…

Does anybody want this bot?

Krauerking , (edited ) in American flags should be born in the USA now, too, Congress says

You know what, for context for anyone late to the discourse.

All of this is about a bill passing through the Senate for the manufacturer of the government bought flags to go from 50% American manufactured materials to 100%.

Enjoy the ride.

The other day I was walking around, thinking about all the different coffee shops I could see, and wondering why people waste their money on starbucks and their burnt-ass coffee.

Overall the polls have been encouraging for her, but that MI one look really wrong. 538 has her about down a point on average.

The guardian is one of the best newspapers on the planet and published content exposing such as the Panama Papers.

i think someone in the article put it best

If a super conservative white woman can’t get straight answers out of him, what makes you think that three black women are going to get them?”

flerp ,

It’s still a true journalists job to try

finley , (edited )

in the same way a phlebotomist should still try to get blood from an actual stone?

because - and with all due respect to journalists of all backgrounds - i’m neither black nor a journalist, but i would think that if i were either (or both) i’d know a huge waste of my time when i saw one.

Can’t think of many true journalists in corporate media.

Rhaedas ,

Remember, he doesn't like nasty questions. Like : "What do you say to Americans, who are watching you right now, who are scared?"

lemmy_user_838586 ,

He covered that one already, and he’ll probably say it again: “stand back and stand by.”

njm1314 , (edited )

This doesn’t work. I hope they’re not naive enough to think that’ll work. It doesn’t even matter what happens there. All Trump and his team want is the victory of him appearing there. They want the photo opportunity, they want the headline, they want to be able to say look the blacks love us. And they know nobody in their base is going to question it. They also know the vast majority of Americans won’t check into the actual events

Pacattack57 , in Starbucks is reeling as customers go elsewhere, sales decline

I’ve seen a few of these articles and everyone is missing the bigger picture. Yes making better products will increase sales. However the main point that people don’t understand is that companies are recognizing that their prices are too high to drive sales and as such prices drop to reflect that. Meaning that inflation is shrinking. This is a huge win for Americans and I hope voters see that and vote accordingly.

comador , in Investigation finds at least 973 Native American children died in US government boarding schools
@comador@lemmy.world avatar

“U.S. Catholic bishops in June apologized for the church’s role in trauma the children experienced. And in 2022, Pope Francis apologized for the Catholic Church’s cooperation with boarding schools in Canada.”

So more thoughts and prayers. Assholes.

mortemtyrannis , in American flags should be born in the USA now, too, Congress says

Capitalism. Until we don’t like particular ramifications of capitalism and then we legislate nationalisation of particular industries….because.

Truly the invisible hand of the market at work.

Krauerking ,

Haha oh my God right?

Oh shoot can someone fuck with our supply of flags while trying to push nationalism???

But not healthcare huh?

derf82 ,

Considering this only covers US Government purchased flags, this IS the invisible hand of the market. It’s a consumer choosing where they want to purchase products.

And it is t nationalizing the industry. They still will be privately produced. And individual Americans can still by Chinese flags.

mortemtyrannis ,

The particular industry that’s being nationalised is American flags produced for US government consumption. (The nationalisation part)

They’ve decided to legislate because they don’t like the optics of some foreign made products. (This isn’t an invisible hand; it’s opaque)

How is that justified in a supposedly capitalist society when China can produce flags of the same quality but at a cheaper price?

Edit: maybe protectionism is a better word than nationalise, end effect is the same; The government of a capitalist country is directly interfering with the market.

There’s a Pretty Good Chance Your American Flag Was Made by a Prisoner: People of color are incarcerated in huge numbers. And they’re manufacturing America’s symbol of freedom.

Harris was referring to the visit she made to the Central California Women’s Facility in July, a visit on which I tagged along. It was a surreal experience to watch dozens of women, mostly women of color, at work stations inside of the country’s largest prison for women, laying out and printing fabric and then dyeing it royal blue. It was just as surreal, if not more so, to hear prison officials point out that these flags would one day fly atop every state and federal building in California, describing this with something almost adjacent to pride.
