Grocery delivery services are training their algorithms by using different costs for different users at the same time to see how much we are willing to pay, & upping prices accordingly.

We Had 400 People Shop For Groceries. What We Found Will Shock You.
EXCLUSIVE: We uncovered a secret corporate scheme to raise grocery prices. We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. The scary part? It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores, too. Our months-long investigation with Consumer Reports and Groundwork Collaborative found it could cost families $1,200/year. ----- More Perfect Union is an Emmy-winning, nonprofit newsroom whose mission is to build power for working people.

Just realized today that I'm actually an Enneagram 7. Don't know why I never considered it before. Thought I was an 8 previously. Then 6. But yeah. Those are my wings. That makes so much more sense. I wondered why the 6 memes and disintegration to 3 never hit home. I'm 7w6 sx/sp 782.

People with internal monologues (as opposed to people with anendophasia) - did you spend a lot of time alone as a child?

I Took Bernie Into Deep Trump Country. Can He Win Them Over?
What happens when you put Bernie Sanders in the second reddest state in the country? For nearly 80 years straight, working-class West Virginia was a Democratic stronghold — until it took a hard turn to Trump. We were on the ground with Bernie Sanders to investigate why. ----- More Perfect Union is an Emmy-winning, nonprofit newsroom whose mission is to build power for working people.

Thinking about that quote from Battlestar Galactica a lot these days:

"There's a reason why you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state.
The other serves and protects the people.
When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
