    1. The Phony Budget Office undertook a static analysis of what the subsidies provide with a break even point of 2043 using the metric of “combined revenue generated from the two plants would only match the production subsidies” if the plants start operating next year.

      Of course, does that mean the government gets paid off by then? or is this going to be another thing the government is going to have to write off into the general debt, because the assumption that these battery plants will produce for 20 years, without having to retool, or be made obsolete by discoveries is unlikely at best, and ultimately insane at worst, especially if you consider that in most previous cases, plants shut down as soon as the subsidies went away.

  8. Still a BARGAIN! … because it’s Walmart.

    Here’s what I know about Walmart. They RAISE prices economic-geographically. Here, in the S.F. Bay Area the Walmarts nearest to me charge even MORE than my local HIGH-PRICED Safeway for most common products … esp. food. They assume we are all $RICH$ here in the Bay Area … so they STICK IT TO US. Give us the stick.

  9. Brilliant!

    Kudos to the manager who thought that up. They must really know their customers.

    At year-end, they are either going to get a big bonus or get the boot. There’s no in-between on that one.

  10. That “deal” doesn’t surprise me. Wal-Mart is now the last place I shop when visiting the city, only going there when I’ve run out of options. From paying for shopping carts, the maze of livestock barriers in and out of the store, big lineups at real people tills and at the half-not-working self checkout, annoying door theft checks…it is not a pleasant experience. In general, physical retailers are inferior to online shopping for most products but Wal-Mart, in particular. is at the bottom.

    1. Walmart and Canadian Tire both have set up a maze of anti-emergency exit barriers at their store fronts. Where are the regulators who ove to regulate, you know, for safety.

      1. Never thought of the safety aspect but older folks and those with mobility issues would be trapped unless there’s some kind of rapid barrier dismantling plan.

        I’m annoyed by its dehumanizing nature, it reminds me of a cattle corral/cattle squeeze. I understand their purpose in crowd management at major events but not at routine shopping establishments.

  14. I’m a shopper at the Save-on-Foods brand here out west. This reminds me of the “family-pack” chicken breast deal they have. For a long time, the pack was $10, and you could find some hefty 1 kg or more packs in the bunch. Later, the pack went up to $12, but the 1 kg (or more) units could still be found; this was true for 2020 to some point in 2022. Today, in the lower mainland – spit! – the “family pack” sell for $14, and you really have to dig for anything above 750g. Do the math, folks: from the $10 days to today’s $14 reality, there was a 40% incease in the price tag and a 25% reduction on the “family size” pack’s size. Inflation is…
