This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Greed. It’s harder for McDonalds to nickle and dime you if they are giving soda out for free.

Which is bonkers because it's stupidly cheap on a per unit basis and they charge a ridiculous amount for it.

That's most things made under capitalism though...

"I've got a jdea! We'll save money if we put more work on the workers!"

Brilliant! That's why we pay you the CEO salary. Between that one, and "let's make it smaller and charge the same price" you're a genius!"

Yea but now people are less likely to get that refill which saves McDonald’s $0.03 in syrup. Think of the shareholders here bub, they need their profits!
