Anybody else ever think about how gift cards are private corporate currency and that buying them is functionally equivalent to giving an interest-free loan to a corporation and we mostly pay full face value for them!

The president fails to realize how deeply Somali Americans love this country.
We are doctors, teachers, and elected leaders working to make our country better.

Lol they really said "women be shopping"
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"
