Reply to comment by Skontradiction in Amid historic inflation, which area grocery store has the lowest prices? by Skontradiction
Aldi is absolutely incredible. If anyone reading this hasn’t tried shopping there, I hope you take this article serious. Their produce is fresh. Only downside is their selection isn’t always great but you save so much money there that it’s worth stopping at giant or wherever else on your way home.
Don’t forget your reusable bags and quarter

"I don't like what this store serves so therefore nobody else should either."
>basic bitches
BTW, the idea of the "basic bitch" is rooted in misogyny. It boils down to "if women like a thing, then it must be stupid."

TLDR: Article summarizes the debate over Dorsey’s Abundant Housing Act. Dorsey and advocates say it will help bring housing costs down while Torrence says it will “destroy black wealth.” Also getting a mention is a beefed up inclusionary zoning bill proposed by Ramos.

Abbey burger will show at least some. Depends on how early they’ll open.

The two things aren’t inextricably connected. You can watch the matches while still being frustrated/disappointed/angry about fifa and Qatar. Plus, not going to a local bar or even watching at home isn’t going to have some significant economic impact or make a difference.
Channel that anger into something more impactful.

Yes. And clearly things have NOT improved, if they're striking again.

In the modern era, communication between higher ups and management and union organizers on the ground is lightning fast. Wherein the past strikes were much longer, and would maybe be a whole month of a city of people stopping work until the militia arrived, now they are, as historians say, atomized. Strikes must be done often to effectively communicate to management that the “new” conditions of employment are just as untenable as the last set of conditions. Bargaining happens more quickly than in the past, accelerating strikes and protests frequency.

Yeah you’d have to go into dc then all the way out. There’s a MTA bus between shady grove metro and the BWI marc stop if you wanted to cut out the need to transfer through DC. But I’m not sure you’d save that much time

At first I was like "Why do Starbucks employees need to unionize? It was an easy job when I had it 20 years ago."
And then I realized all of the ways that the company has gone all in on becoming Milk Based Fast Food: app purchases that overwhelm the physical space, drive throughs, the end of "the third place".
So good for them. Stick it to the man!

I don't know how the transfer time will be, but driving up does create a lot of issues as well. Tolls and parking and gas and traffic variance. Plus stress. And many people can work on a train. Or play video games. Oh, and some people care about the environmental impact of their travel.
I am not saying this is clearly better. But another cheap and green option is good imo.

Are you expecting one strike alone to work?
