The other commenter brought up Kroger. A grocery store that operates on a 1.5% profit margin.
That’s not true
I don’t know what to tell you. 1.5% profit margin is razor thin. There isn’t anything to cut for the private stores or the government stores.
Kroger’s revenue is $150B, with a net income of $2.3B. That is a profit margin of…1.5%. One-point-five percent profit.
As I said, grocery stores operate on tiny margins. There isn’t much to cut either for the private store or the government store.
gross margin in 2024 was 22.3%
Gross margin is not profit, it only accounts for direct costs of the goods being sold. Hence why their profit is only 1.5%.
Beat out other grocery stores so prices drop to compete.
Grocery stores operate on extremely thin margins. There isn’t much to cut either for the private store or the government store.
Why did ICE arrest a US citizen?
FTA: the 32-year-old “exited his vehicle wielding a hammer and threw rocks at law enforcement while he had a child in his car”
“Your kid is at the station” is a pretty common way to do just that.
Were they supposed to just leave the child alone after arresting the father? If so, would they have written this same story, but lambasted the officers for leaving the toddler alone?
The Guardian for some reason is really focusing on the part that isn’t actually bad, in a story where bad things happened.
This is just more government bullshit
Just like the California cancer label that is on everything, if you put this label on common shit like bacon, then yes, “it’s just more government bullshit” is exactly how the vast majority of people will treat it.
You know, I can’t remember any toothpaste with that warning. So, win one for us I guess! ;p
If the labels don’t have some type of ranking system, then they are pointless. A great example being the California cancer labels that are on fucking everything. It’s impossible to use them to gauge risk, because everything you buy causes cancer in California.
A bunch of the stuff I buy has CA cancer warnings on it. When you start putting the warnings on common things, it makes the warnings meaningless…
Do any of the things I buy have a notable chance to cause caner? I have no fucking clue, because everything causes cancer in California.
Great news!
I don’t know a single person that “advocates for illegal aliens to resist”.
Plenty of people advocate for just that. And it is a major reason Republicans have been beating the deportation drum. It is so, so damn easy for them to point to those people and get votes.
Edit: I enjoy how people are up and down this thread saying they are that person OP said they never see, yet when I point this out, everyone reverts to acting like these people don’t exist. You can’t have it both ways.
The title of the article: Immigration agents shot a suspect after he rammed their vehicle during LA stop, DHS says
Beef has been pretty expensive lately. Are beef farmers not making a fair bit of money right now?
Trump is just a constant whiplash. Two days ago he was talking about selling Ukraine Tomahawks, now he is talking about Ukraine giving up vast sums of land and people.
I’m happy someone else came back to this. I’m amazed at how many votes the OP got here while literally just making shit up.
Are people really this blinded to just…basic facts?
Kroger is a public company, the presented numbers are their financials. Everything you mention is part of how they squeeze out a measly 1.5% profit margin. There isn’t much to cut for the private store or the government store.
