Anybody else ever think about how gift cards are private corporate currency and that buying them is functionally equivalent to giving an interest-free loan to a corporation and we mostly pay full face value for them!

Love is chill, love is dank. It does not thirst, it does not flex, it is not extra. It does not cancel others, it is not sus, it is not salty, it keeps no receipts. Love does not spill tea but rejoices with the woke. It always stans, is always fam, is always G.O.A.T, always slays

Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"
