You guys also know whatever happens with this situation the insurance companies will pay the fine and the premium for Walmart will go up but also be written off their profit as a loss and this reduce thier income more and they will pay less taxes on the enormous profits they will continue to make after this news. Who are you fooling.
I am not really very diligent in the check out line... although I am not really happy with Walmart as an institution. Their business practices make them a very poor neighbor. It would be good if I were able to do more pricing online before going to pick up my groceries. I would be happy to make two stops and pick up 1/2-2/3 of my groceries at one stop and 1/3-1/2 of my groceries at the other (the 2 chain stores I have access to). This would also allow me to pay less for special items I might find cheaper one of my local Asian Food stores (or anything like that).
LinkedIn News and John C Abell, so glad to have you back online! However, your new format, while mighty concise, isn't building a relationship which is what your "what do you think?" ending was doing earlier. Everyone does push. What you're doing is distinctly not-LinkedIn. Please reconsider your format and let John loose! WHO's WITH ME?

Why, when the margins of profit and not to mention the game of companies deflating their profits by using them to create debt so their taxable income is greatly reduce or pay non, would they also steal at the cash register? Because the modern business marketing is just a lure into the trap of cheating you any way. It’s not their fault you consumers love the businesses that cheat and hurt you with your collective resources. But they are rich! That’s just how it has been for 1000’s of years you would except! Why are the businesses that control us not mentioned much. Because we are like them and also want the advantage over each other. Like they have. If I could only be them I would change…. Admit, you too are on the gold rush and those who have more gold than you, you admire. If they steal from you no problem you worship their model with your life anyway. Yo they got money!!! Hahaha. If you had the chance you would copy the same as the master your trying to call out. Hypocrite!! Publishing makes one group rich with marketing exposure. Not publishing makes another group rich with their plans to work the business model. Less is more. The less I provide to get the more you have. Modern disposable products if you don’t get it.

If a man not mankind finds a source of unlimited energy that can last thousands of year’s, as if that’s not already here, why does this man then plan to charge all mankind for the next thousand years. If this was found to advance mankind(advertisement)like all the advertisements from innovators these days, why is the enthusiasm based around lowering my power bills not ending my power bills. In this model the person who finds the key to unlock it is still outside the circle because he only knows how to draw it, not make it. This path will also make us miss researching how to participate in making it. We have earth as a blueprint, but our collective efforts are erasing parts of the sacred document. That’s why the plan to charge. To make it he has to draw from the circle but does not plan to replenish what he is taking. Still standing still guys. In the role of Stakeholder and Product Manager I am looking for that real future technology. All that I am seeing so far is the same. For example: find a cure for something, it will save you only if you can afford the treatment or was one of the original test subjects.
At the checkout line, diligence is your best weapon. Watch as items are being scanned and kindly point out discrepancies to the cashier. That is the time to address the problem .

If your at the point where you have all kinds of insects as part of the mixtures sold to you at the market. One, they make it your responsibility to know, having to research. Two, if we are at the point of eating insects as part of our primary meal, that’s a clear indication that with the agricultural businesse model they are running out of source material. There was a time when lobsters were bugs we did not eat. Why, vastly more selection of source materials less in the control of humans. Ponder, is innovation an invasion? Business models are built on innovation. In todays world why do we need an instruction booklet to know how to eat. Because innovation has created things we can not naturally identify or would naturally eat. Now innovation is saying hey let’s just 3D print it. It’s a machine and it can make 5 times more food than conventional farming. Marketing. Do the customers know this. Mostly no.

Apple with no sakes growth and a 36.5 PE. Yeah, there is no tech bubble. 😂The market assumes everyone is going to go out and by an AI enabled phone with the new models come out when in reality, outside of first adopters it’s going to take time. The stocks up 38% in 3 months! They really have crazy expectations built in. Or it’s just a hedge for runaway inflation and the devaluation of the dollar?

The companies, I won’t list, I work with are trying to address this in their business models. We are a company. We don’t hate the players, we want to help them play a better game. Currently if you lose you get wiped out. Not a good game cuz eventually you won’t have anybody or anything to play with kids.
