Can't speak for most places, but in mine, that's exactly the way it works. You can only make a certain percentage of your budget from tickets (and it's not a large amount) before it all goes to the level double above yours.

I don't know if he has the mass to play, he sounds like a lightweight.
The airbag vests are good. They are worn by the big boys in the moto gp purely because they are so good. Leather saves your skin, pads save you bruises, and with these your soft tissue injuries to the neck and torso are almost mitigated. They are also helpful with joint and bone injuries, as they stiffen certain areas so that your limbs don't get whiplashed if they grip the pavement when they should slide.
On the controlled surface of a racetrack, these are a godsend. Obviously on the street, nothing is going to save you from some of the hazards around, like vertical surfaces in the shape of mailboxes, street signs, or nearby cars, but overall they are still able to improve your chances.
Mate, if the courtroom isn't the place to be somber, there would be no place to be somber. When one person accuses another of harming them, the parties who will be listening to their pleas and deciding on fates should be absolutely somber.
I'm sure they either sold those specific stores to Kroger, or closed and Kroger bought the building like you said, but I just haven't seen an Albertson's in decades here. I really thought they had went under.

Right, this is what people always gloss over to just say that eventually the bet will be too big to sustain. Even if you win repeatedly, the bets you make after 3 or 4 losses are vast in comparison the amount you'll 'gain' per win. For the doubling (Martingale strategy), if your bet starts at $1, and you win $2 off of that, it doesn't matter how much you are eventually betting, you'll only make $1 for the whole cycle.
The tripling helps for the profit angle, somewhat. I ran the numbers for total amount of times betting before a win for net win. I wish the formatting let me make tables, but oh well.
Total Times Bet(bet amount): total of bet: net winning:
1 (1) ... 1 ... 1
2 (3) ... 4 ... 2
3 (9) ... 13 ... 5
4 (27) ... 40 ... 16
5 (81) ... 121 ... 41
6 (243) ... 364 ... 122
7 (729) ... 1093 ... 365
8 (2187) ...3280 ... 1094
9 (6561) ... 9841 ... 3281
10 (19683) ... 29524... 9842
Yeah, but a little meth solves that problem, eh?
Shoot, they won't just be posting a tl;dr, but a commentary on it, and sometimes really good context from their field or experience. It's basically the article, but written by a more intelligent journalist who is a part of whatever is being reported on, not just observing from interviews and phone calls (and lame corporate website 'about us' pages).
Weird. I thought kroger had bought out albertson's years ago. At least 15 years or so ago, all the albertson's stores (like 10 that I knew of) became krogers in my area.
I don't know, mate. I think shoving children out of the way as a fully grown adult is a little bit more than "mildly annoying." One of the standards I have for someone to be 'mature' is being able to control themselves when appropriate. Your glee to see a mickey is not an appropriate time to physically assault children.
That's the oddest thing. I had a friend who had some ducks as pets, and they were nearly as voracious as chickens in eating anything they could find, good, bad, or otherwise, even if it was new.
It will depend on where you are. My area has a law that almost word for word says, "This law cannot be used to deny X," where X is renewal of a driver's license, withholding of any services, etc. It also can't be sent to collections or be a mandatory fine from the state. The company is basically fucked.
