I buy in bulk too, and this thread made me look at my purchase history. Last spent about $17 in May of 2024, and still have a few left. So yes, about a dollar a month.

I think it's just another example of incomes not remotely keeping up with inflation over the last few decades. Short fiction is particularly bad, with many publishers not having increased their payment per word since at least the 90s.

He's petty enough that I could see him pushing for expulsion before her pension vests (at five years, which is why she's leaving in January)

My D&D group in my 20s used to mock our DM for making us roll for lots of stuff that should just be auto-success. In my 40s, I can somehow crit fail brushing my teeth and throw my back out for a week.

Well, UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers union) is pretty much this. The problem is getting the workers to organize and join it.

They can't really undercut CVS with Aetna, because CVS _is_ Aetna. (CVS Health bought them in 2018.)
