Interesting thought as well.

Font(barely) made of Gerrymandered Congressional districts...

BigV · 08-03-2019, 11:56 PM

I saw that..

Was slightly disappointed (in the typographers) that a few of the "letters" required multiple districts.

Hopefully we can make it even harder for them next time.

Video stores, Redbox has half the market left...

glatt · 08-08-2019, 12:55 PM

Redbox is pretty good. Small selection, but you order what you want and they hold it for you.

Alas, another chart that brings nostalgia.

An example of how innovation works. That Redbox does what once required a giant store and many humans. Even Netflix innovated, moved on, and therefore survives profitably.

Hard to believe with all the wet weather this year but most of it comes in deluges that run off...

xoxoxoBruce · 08-13-2019, 01:25 AM

This says for 2019 but may be premature unless it's really the results from 2018.

Goodwill takes all of our old stuff, and sells us more stuff. The Goodwill stores around hire Special needs employees, and trains people to get and keep jobs. I don't consider Goodwill a charity.

I looked into that Goodwill number when my aunt posted something similar to FB, and it's totally wrong.

Goodwill stores are run indepently by their community level org and each one has different numbers. There is no CEO. It's complicated. I find they are an awesome place to get rid of stuff, and also shop for specific items for pennies on the dollar.

This article says...

Quote:

And what about the president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International, whose name is not Mark Curran, but Jim Gibbons—is he a billionaire, as one of our readers alleged?

While there’s no easy way to confirm Gibbons’s exact net worth, the organization does report his annual salary. Based on those reports, Gibbons has earned more than $700,000 a year since taking the job in 2008.

I pointed out to the person who sent me that chart that Goodwill also does training and gives work experience to otherwise unemployable folks. They also make it easier to offload usable stuff you don't want to trash than anyone else. They'll take anything except TVs and atomic weapons.
