You didn't read the article did you? It's really good and not like your description in the slightest.

The guy explained the rational he didn't say it was his personal view that it should be done.
And even if was his view we shouldn't be down voting things based on whether you agree or not. We should do it on whether it adds to the discussion.
The quality of discourse on lemmy is fucking dire.
It cost governments around the world trillions of dollars to get through COVID... The uk's debt went from 80% of GDP to 100% in the space of just 18 months. It's hardly a viable economic plan to carry out on an ongoing basis.
Many non essential industries and travel just completely froze And guess what? Co2 production barely even stuttered according to your graph.
The solution is to transition into a renewable, prosperous, circular economy. Not go backwards into poverty.
If you don't think children accessing porn is problematic I think you need to give it some more thought. It most definitely normalises some extremely mysogonistic, violent/ non consensual practices.
I don't think age verification is the answer, but let's not pretend it's not trying to address an actual issue.
Perfect! You just summed up the problem more clearly and concisely than I have seen in any mainstream media.
But I see this kind of coffee shop maths everywhere going completely unchallenged. Company statements just printed wholesale.
I keep reading this, I don't think it adds up in the way that coffee shops are claiming.
Nikki Bravo, the co-owner of Momentum Coffee in Chicago, raised prices by about 15% last week for lattes, cappuccinos and other drinks at her four locations.
Bravo said she is paying 15% more for coffee beans compared to a year ago and has started roasting more beans in-house to save money. She gets most of her beans from Africa.
When you a buy a coffee you're paying for beans, sure. But mainly the expenditure of a coffee place is it's staff, premises, taxes, equipment, water, electric and all the other overheads.
The average U.S. price of a pound of ground coffee hit $9.14 in September, a 3% increase from the August average of $8.87 and 41% higher than in September 2024
40% in a year is massive, but what does a lb make? 50 cups of coffee?
So the cost of the beans went up 8c and she puts her prices up 50c and says it's the beans.
100% they've started gaming the algorithm to reduce artist payouts. Ambient music is rife with ai generated tracks taking negotiated rates, other genres will surely follow.
I switched to tidal from Spotify last year and am very happy. It just does music - no audio books, videos, podcasts - but to my mind that's a feature. Music quality is far far better. The algorithm for recommendations I think is good.
I found streaming on the move less reliable until I dropped the audio quality and now it's solid.
I used https://www.tunemymusic.com/ to move from Spotify to tidal. I had a lot of saves and playlists so had to use a paid plan but it was $5 or something and it worked well.
The pop top ones are great and I love them but it's easy to mess something up and make them pretty dangerous.
If you have a hygrometer you can measure the sugar content of your brew which takes out the guess work, get one of them before glass bottling. Hygrometers are like $10 and well worth having.
Plum and cherry wine sounds divine. Good luck!
If the juice is concentrated, like molasses it'll be fine. Hops might be ok if they're vacuum sealed and freeze dried as they often are.. they look like little pellets. If they're just dried then get some more.
Just follow the instructions.
If you're bottle conditioning, (adding a bit of sugar in the bottle to carbonate) I would recommend using plastic coke bottles. They're pressure safe and don't explode like glass does if you add too much sugar.
