My ex-favorite tea brands silently cutting 20% of tea bags in the box and raised the price 15%, while keeping the same sized box and make the printed weight and contents smaller and harder to find.
And people call me crazy for getting frustrated.
Employee wage increase? Or is that calculated in operating expenses?
The amount of people making babies is degreasing, but the company must grow
Yes, the CEO needs more baby oil to keep the old gears turning.
yeh critical (since they (electorates in my ciuntry since 1970s) empowered banks with all the investment decisions) that those banks see more short term profit (and balance sheet growth), from business loans to small businesses than mortgages, consumer credit, and AAA large corp debt.
Otherwise any potential regulation fron competition is strangled.
unfortunately banks seem to prefer morgtgages over a productive/competetive economy for some really hard to predict reason . . .
I think it was a big mistake to let commercial banks into morgages, i think consumer credit should be heavily limited, and there should be some small business/local limitations on banks, so that they invest some % directly in diverse competetive economy in the places near to where their creditors live. (I know hard to regulate, but harder than regulating a mutinational bank . . .?)
globalised unregulated banking doesnt seem to help with much to me - unless you live in China maybe.
Huggies are not the only diapers.
I would urge new parents to try cloth diapering! It can seem daunting at first with all the terminology, but no more so than learning to diaper with disposables. There are some great resources out there that help break everything down. It's how people have been diapering babies for centuries before disposable Pampers came along in the 60s.
For our first, I'm planning on trying cotton prefolds under wool covers. It's more of an upfront cost investment (a few hundred bucks, depending on where you buy them), but will save us money over the long run, not having to buy tons of boxes of diapers. Plus we're planning on reusing the same set for our second.
If anyone needs resources or has specific questions, let me know!

🤔
For our first, I'm planning
Ahh, there it is.
We did both our kids on the same set of cloth diapers. We saved a ton of money and avoided putting all those diapers in the landfill. Then when we were done having kids in diapers we passed them on to someone else who could use them.
With all the disgusting things involved with children, washing diapers is low enough on the list.
Our first was completely cloth diapered. Our second, we tried too, but for some reason every poop got out of it to the clothes and the increased amount of washing up was too much (imagine how many clothes can 4yo and 11mo stain combined). So now she has the cheapest disposables. When she starts pooping in the potty or at least learns to tell she pooped immediately, we will consider the cloth diapers again, but for now it's too much work.
