COMMUNITY A Your Vote Did Nothing Thread

You know what’s crazy? There is a very high probability, that one or a couple of highly known celebrities, and can be from any walks of entertainment. That one of them is legitimately a C.I.A agent. Real shit, not meaning like a snitch or informant or none of that. But an actual federal agent. If they can plant a guy within the Mafia, an adversarial organization, of a highly ranked government official of a foreign nation. They could definitely do a celebrity. I wonder who it is, and it’s probably definitely not the person you’d most or least likely expect.

My money is on him, one of them

Paul Edward Valentine Giamatti[1] was born June 6, 1967,[2] in New Haven, Connecticut, the youngest of three children. His father, Angelo Bartlett Giamatti, was a Yale University professor who later became president of the university and later commissioner of Major League Baseball.[3]His mother, Toni Marilyn Giamatti (née Smith), was a homemaker and English teacher who taught at the Hopkins School and had also previously acted.[1][4]

His paternal grandfather's family were Italianemigrants from Telese Terme; the family surname was originally spelled "Giammattei" (Italian pronunciation: [dʒammatˈtɛi]) before immigrating to the United States.[5] His paternal grandmother had deep roots in New England, dating back to the colonial era.[6] Giamatti's brother, Marcus, is also an actor, and his sister, Elena, was a jewelry designer.

Giamatti attended Yale, where he was active in the undergraduate theater scene and worked with fellow actors and Yale students Ron Livingston and Edward Norton. He graduated in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in English and went on to earn a master of fine arts degree from the Yale School of Drama, where he studied with Earle R. Gister. He performed in numerous theatrical productions, including on Broadwayand a stint from 1989 to 1992 with Seattle's Annex Theater,[7] before appearing in some small television and film roles in the early 1990s.

That’s what they say, but it actually cost more to have that set up because it demands more from infrastructure. As in the telecommunications cost that it requires to run and maintain the fiber connection that it uses for the internet.

The company they pay for access to the software that manages the app. The cost of the maintenance cost to maintain its operation. The cost of the security to avoid lost of proprietary information that could result in a lawsuit. And the lost in revenue from the people that don’t get onboard.

Overtime it’s going to take much more to break even those costs, than to just pay a human being. A cost that doesn’t fluctuate.

Does dollar general make you use an app? If dollar general doesn’t do something, it’s doesn’t save money.

Use them as the truth

So they tell you it costs less but it does not.

It does cost less. Labor is a large ongoing cost, whereas the tech is a large up from cost then much lower over the long term.

Plus that tech cost is capitalized as an asset and depreciated as an expense over a number of years.

So cash wise it costs a lot up front, but profit wise it doesn’t. And stock value is based on profit, not cash.

And once that asset is fully depreciated, maintenance is much lower than labor so the profit goes up even more.

That said, a lot of the infrastructure is already in place for normal business operations so there may not even be much up front cost.

If that was true Wal Mart wouldn’t be falling back on self checkout. Tech is a futures bet. It’s done in the present to appease stock holders with the belief that it pays off. But it rarely ever does, and that’s why most companies end up in a bad spot. In the long run, human capital pays off more than tech.

Like I said, if dollar general doesn’t do something, it’s bad bet to pay off. They may be shit at everything else but what they do know how to do is pinch a penny, and be conservative with the future in mind.
 
Dollar General

Remote Viewing security

Doesn’t give a shit about future community growth

At best two employees and one self checkout

No app needed at all for purchase, only for discounts

No tvs screens anywhere inside, all paper ads inside at best, tiny aisles, small brick and mortar

Zero to lil grounds maintenance, esthetically boring outside

Nah, I'm not invested enough in women's NCAA basketball to care who goes. I'm honestly asking if there is another good matchup that would be interesting for the big game or is a repeat of the SEC Championship really the best they have to offer.

LSU vs South Carolina is the best matchup. Teams play offense and defense.

Physical and flare.

Yea, Juju and Clark get buckets which is highly entertaining

But the entire team vs team is LSU vs South Carolina. Both teams have multiple players that can give you 20.
