  • the thing that you may not be considering here is the increased competition from the new city-run grocery stores that are also being proposed will somewhat limit the traditional store’s pricing power since presumably the city stores only need to break even, not turn a profit, and the city stores might not need to pay some set of taxes. we’ll have to see if this actually plays out, but that’s the proposal.

    my guess is that large manufacturers like proctor & gamble may not want to supply the city stores, so they may be stocked with lesser known brands, at least at first.








  • while true, that’s how civil lawsuits work, and that’s a good thing. if he doesn’t comply and drops the suit, then we’re done here, although it was unfortunate the BBC had to pay for lawyers to defend themselves. hopefully this little maneuver costs Trump in a subsequent anti-SLAPP finding later.

    if he doesn’t comply and continues the suit for some dumbass reason, then the judge will instruct the jury that every bit of evidence that the defendant didn’t receive is to be assumed to be as damaging as possible for the plaintiff.

    the suit should be over now, but Trump is probably stupider than Alex Jones, so who knows.

    maybe Trump can figure out a way to parlay this suit that he initiated into a multibillion dollar judgement against himself somehow. I can’t possibly think of how this could happen, but I’ve lost every time I’ve made a bet based on ‘he can’t possibly be this stupid’.
