I stopped eating seed oil years ago and cook with bacon grease and butter. Really catchy song.

I wonder what essencial oils do? Tiny oil particals inhailed into your lungs with no escape...Does not sound good.

First things that will happen when an UBI gets introduced: rents increase, food prices will go berserk and most likely governments will use taking away the UBI from persons who have different opinions than the state dictates. I'm all for equality and think that an UBI is a great idea, but the abuse by forementioned states, landlords and companies will deminish its' effect. A way better idea is to abolish money all together, but that will surely find opposition with the people who sit on large piles of it and use it as a tool to obtain power.

I have had that in the past, and also find bug bites quite itchy. I live in a post-prohibition jurisdiction and can grow my own cannabis. I make an ointment with cannabis, coconut oil, and beeswax that kills the itch almost instantly. Try it out if you suffer and are able to get some.

They've got to protect the oil they're stealing.

There needs to be a massive class action suite against big oil.

I've been following this. Thanks big oil.

Thanks big oil.

Out of the reach of most Americans,as usual.

The company did not say how much the treatment will cost, but other gene therapies have set record prices with the highest, for hemophilia B, coming in at $3.5 million.

So lets keep expanding oil production and keep making the global warming crises worse.

Thanks big oil.

"As long as it benefits us the most,of course."

"We always work to feature offers that provide customers with low prices and fast delivery."

I'm shocked they would drop their prices...The greed of those at the top is just disgusting. They already have more money than they could spend in five lifetimes,but it's never enough.

I've ranted so many times on processed "food",it's ridiculous. But yeah,I don't eat it. They also failed to mention processed seed oil like canola,soy,etc. I avoid that as well.

I don't use Disney, IMHO it has the worst choices of shows compared to other streaming companies. The prices seem high for what they are, but they're nothing compared to the daylight robbery that is cable! I'm so glad I don't have cable! I don't even know anyone who has it, it's just like regular TV but more channels so you still don't have it on demand.

Hydrogen is far from renewable, since about 95% is made from oil, natural gas and coal.

Energy independence could have been established many years ago, but nooooooo, neoliberal politics and some old fashioned oil cunts thought differently.

No, I think it is a very justified question, with no intention to divide or hate upon people. In Europe, energy prices are inflating so hard, in combination with really high net profits from energy companies (one would wonder why), that a lot of people lost the idea if it really has to do with free markets and demand & supply. With that thought, I have the feeling that "marketprices" are not justified and more a way of price gauging. When energy companies can set the price with the idea of scarcity, they can also offer cheap energy to serve political goals.

Will they be paying the same steep prices as the rest of us do here?

Plastics are a petrochemical product and just like with gasoline I'm questioning the thoroughness of environmental agreements. The industry is probably lobbying against said thoroughness, because, you know, money. The Paris agreements are just a facade, because they are not legally binding. The plastic agreements will probably go the same way. And, of course, since these agreements are not binding in any way, I question the sincerity of "our" leaders and also question the democratic value of them, since oil and petrochemical industries have a stronger and definite say in them. It sounds all nice and looks all good, but it's shit.

One of these would be able to replace all of the power plants within a few hundred miles of me. Most of which are coal, natural gas, or oil.

I think once they raise the prices, and notice what advantage a high demand low supply has it would be hard to work against that power position.

Let's say the average franchise has 20-30 workers, We'll say 25, that is 8.3 workers per shift. Of those 25 I'm guessing 5-10 are part-time. So I'm going to go with 15 full and 10 part-time workers for this. Let's say the full time staff are making $10 or $400 a week. The part timers are making minimum wage, let's call it $7.50 or $150 a week. OK, so now let's go with the "living wage" of $15 an hour, that means the full time group is now making $600 a week and the part timers are making $300. We'll guess and say they need 5 full and 5 part time employees, you only get the iPhone if you stay for 6 months, which is about 26 weeks. With the living wage rate of 15 that equals out to $45,500 extra those employees would get... then since the ad doesn't say what phone, we'll go with the cheapest new iPhone the SE at 400, 400x10 is $4,000. So it's a no brainer from the business standpoint for the franchise to offer the iPhone over a higher wage. I will also point out Illinois already pays $10 as minimum wage for non-tipped people, meaning my math is off for where this is actually happening but doesn't change the fact that a business owner would rather buy iPhone's than pay more.

I'm not saying that higher wages aren't a necessity, I'm just pointing out that franchise operators aren't always in a position to offer more. After they buy the materials and ingredients from McDonald's or McD's mandatory partner. They then have to pay McDonald's part of their yearly intake, on top of that my understanding is that McDonald's owns most of the real estate and the Franchise owner has to pay that lease too. Then you have, electricity, water, payroll, taxes, trash, etc...

Here is what they pay to McD's, it's interesting:

Ongoing Fees

During the term of the franchise, you pay McDonald’s the following fees:

Service fee: a monthly fee based upon the restaurant’s sales performance (currently a service fee of 4.0% of monthly sales).

Rent: a monthly base rent or percentage rent that is a percentage of monthly sales.

Mashed says that the average store brings in 2.7mm a year, but after fees, payroll, the costs of buying the food, etc it works out to the average store profit of just $150k. The initial cost to open one is $1,000,000-$2,000,000. So it's going to take 10 years just to pay off the initial investment to open a McDonald's at the 150k profit margin. So the $15 living wage has the ability to absolutely destroy that profit, especially if McDonald's Living Wage raises prices and McDonald's iPhone down the street doesn't because most people will just go to the cheaper one.

It's a lot more complicated than just saying raise wages.

Higher prices and lower inventory across a range of industries...better buckle up for turbulence.
