Massachusetts costcos are required to allow liquor sales to the general public, you just walk in through the exit door, past the membership/cust service desks, and you hit the food court before the liquor area. They only check memberships cards at the entrance door.

I don’t remember if they make you scan your membership card at the food court or not; if not, I imagine than that’s also available to non-members.

This rhetoric is just trying to butter us up for the impending next round of price gouging.

If something seems too expensive, don’t buy it and opt for goods with less headway for markup. Start cooking scratch meals and cut out the prefab stuff; you’ll take more time for food prep, but it will save you thousands in medical bills later on.

I heard they sold a license for the camera feed and controls access to EA for their next pay-to-play iOS game. The shareholders are really excited for this synergy.

This is a commendable goal; though it would still rely on good faith that a lot of these companies won’t have.

They’d rather screw the users anyway, sell the IP and let it rot within the maws of some holding company.

We’ll need some clauses that the tech cannot go inactive as it trades hands as well.

Further, some teeth will be needed toward feature deactivation, as there’s nothing stopping a company from yanking features and packaging it up as efficiencies made or product evolution.
