  • I wonder if its less about habit forming as the article supposes, to lock consumers into shopping at one or the other, and more about confusing consumers. If both discount in an alternating fashion, consumers are not benefitting by going to one or the other regularly. They only benefit if they plan their spend across both but that becomes too time consuming. It might be more about keeping pricing much more fluid. If the price is always different, there is no usual price. Its hard to price compare and less likely for price rises to he noticed as consumers can’t possibly track all prices of all products.

    Husband was tired so I just vegged out with TV. I’ve gotten hooked on the traitors. Trash reality tv, but the best of the trash. Its thought provoking about the psychology of honesty and betrayal and group think and leadership, while still being an easy soapy watch.




  • As a foreign born person, now living in Australia with Australian citizenship, Australia has undoubted racism, including casual racism, institutional racism and blatant bigotry. However, viokent hate crimes are much more rare. Australians are generally welcoming, even to those they hold outdated racist views against. Its not people in masks lighting crosses on lawns. Its people being friendly with foreigners at work but never making friends with them, despite doing the same with white coworkers. Its having neoghbours whobyou are friendly with and borrow tools from each other but still roll your eyes as they dont eat bacon, son you couldn’t possibly invite them over for a barbecue as your potato salad has bacon bits on top. Its denying original Australians a voice in the Parliament.

    However, China has a much bigger problem with racism where there is purposeful genocide. However, China’s criticism rings true, because it is.

    Australia can and will do better as most peopke dont want to be racist. There is a fringe far right element, like most western countries but its not the norm. I thibknchina will also do better as their exposure to other cultures and peoples increases.
