What do you find is the actual hardest thing to get properly and do you need a supplement for it?

Like I know some people struggle with iron. But it could be various things depending on your food preferences.

going to die from a protein deficiency

Haha, ya that is amusing. Protein is probably the easiest thing to manage in that situation as long as you can enjoy rice and beans.

Uhhhh minus the lead you almost had me interested to try it out.

Regular grocery store prices for spices can be stupid at times.

I wish potato’s lasted longer without a dark chilled area to keep them. Sometimes the grocery store by me puts on these crazy deals for 10lb-20lb bags, but I can’t go through that that fast.

/operator/ feathers? Dammit, is there even a drone there or is that also a hallucination.

We might get a video of the white house’s defence systems shooting it down instead.

Microsoft’s

I would have sworn you wrote McDonalds the first time, and I was like wtf went on there that I had no idea about, until you got to the 2nd Microsoft.

Elections?

"Christians, get out and vote, just this time. “You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.”

I think what they meant is even if he finds something that works, the data can’t be trusted, which will heavily delay things like doing it properly.

I knew (but forgot) they thought the 1st one was likely and didn’t disclose it, was it others as well?

Really? That’s interesting, even rice and oats?

Edit: where I’m at for spices, you can get 3-4x the amount at Costco vs the grocery store, but on a budget like this you’d probably only get 1 a month while you built up the kitchen. I’ll check rice again next time I’m out but I swear it’s cheaper as well. Haven’t bought oats in awhile, but used to have them for breakfast daily (the basic quaker oats kind, not the expensive flavored sachets)

Edit: Also I’m annoyed that you can’t see Costco warehouse food prices online. You get the online/delivery prices which are raised making price shopping more difficult.

You don’t need a chest freezer for a 2-3kg bag of frozen veggies and berries. Any standard fridge will fit that with plenty of additional space.

Nor do you need a membership to even get these things at all places, but it can make it cheaper (and likely pay for itself)

I would expect a person this poor to likely have a bus pass, they probably wouldn’t be driving. So transportation costs are probably already covered, so the real issue is, is there a place they can buy frozen/bulk food within a reasonable bus distance.

Edit: E.g Krogers in Milwaukee where OP referenced has frozen peas 60oz for $5.29 (NOT on sale), as well as other vegetables. Ideally find a mixed bag. That’s your veggies for the week, and it’s only $0.75 of you’re $9.41 day for eating, and no paid membership. I’m not saying this is good, it’s poverty, but it’s doable.

Edit: In Log Angeles at Food4Less you can get 80z mixed veggies for $6.99 on sale ($1 off), that’s $0.699 a day for 10 days, even cheaper, in LA an even more expensive city! You can even get that down to $0.54 a day at Walmart.

Not that I suggest you do this, but in the context of eating cheap, you can get that cheaper by finding a place that sells larger bags of frozen vegetables, such as the carrot, pea, green bean, corn mixes. Go for the store brand to get that cheapest. They’re just as nutritious as they get flash frozen when their nutrients are at their peak. It won’t be very exiting though.

You won’t have a lot of variety trying to eat on $292 a month.

Ya, it’d be a lot of vegetarian meals. If you can get to something like a Sams Club or Costco (although that has it’s own cost) you could get things like eggs, rice, oats, and even some spices over a few months to get you going, really cheap compared to other places.

Even being able to get something like a bulk frozen blueberries to be your fruit for the month that you can put in the oatmeal for example would go a long way, but is probably too pricey if you’re buying it in small quantities.

Trying to do that at an expensive grocery store and no access to cheaper bulk pricing would make that less comfortable.

Is that amount for a family, cause I can definitely eat on $292 a month in a very expensive city. I’d need to make adjustments, but it’d easily be doable.

The shareholders chose to do it, it’s their company, they can do whatever they want with it (as long as they weren’t misled as the judge has ruled they were).

Trying to control what the shareholders do with their company like that is not the way to solve a problem. And if you don’t own any voting shares, then you have no reason to complain about what they decide to do.

The payment comes out of their pocket, by the devaluation of their stock, when the options are issued and vested. They went into it knowing they’d make a shit load of money if he pulled it off, and he’d make a shit load of money too. The stock has 25x’d since the package was created.

Edit: Just to be clear here - A better way would be through a high tax bracket that would eat the vast majority of that away forcing him to sell most of the shares (or I guess alternatively sell SpaceX shares, it’d be his choice), but keep in mind it’d be at the rate when each set vests, so it’s not a tax bill on 55b, it’s a series of tax bills on smaller amounts.

TIL, thanks.

I wonder if NATO is going to try and enforce a blockade where any ship travelling through the area of cables must be escorted.

A Delaware judge recently invalidated the pay package, citing insufficient shareholder approval.

I don’t know if this is the article (its pay walled), or AI since it’s a summary, or maybe OP, but this is a terrible reporting of what happened.

The pay package was supposed to be independently created by the board, but it was found out that Elon had a heavy hand in proposing it, including the people helping him craft it. Now, I don’t think this is bad per say, but then the board was supposed to independently vet it, but the board wasn’t really deemed independent, and who they used had ties to Musk. Further, it wasn’t properly disclosed what involvement Musk had in crafting the package in the first place.

The failure to properly disclose all of this made the shareholder vote void. Had they disclosed it, and had it been approved, it would have been okay.

It had nothing to do with not having insufficient shareholder approval.
