It used to be like that

You're right, about 100 years ago it did used to be like that. Local banks aren't a thing anymore. While Co-op banking institutions are better for the local community, they're also investing in options outside the local community, further depleting the resources of the 30% of customers who shop at more affordable locations

That's the point though. The profits don't go to locals, they stay within the owner's for their second cottage and new boat. Very rarely do local stores actually benefit anybody other than themselves.

BetterHelp has partnered with the Israel government

I offer no commentary on the war but that's pretty... weird..

It's blaming people that go into thrift stores looking for items to immediately flip for profit online, depriving the community of needed material resources at an affordable price.

Local stores that were profiting off their customers and not giving back to the community lose 30% of their customers who weren't benefiting in any way from a local store to more affordable options when available? Wow

Understanding core concepts is more important than being able to recite them verbatim. Knowing where to find the information and how to understand the information is more important than memorizing. Outside of the school system you'll always have the internet available in the workplace.

And it really didn't make the ending any better.. I didn't feel rewarded after that slog. Personal victory maybe?

Expeditionary Force is a fun sci-fi saga with great narration and lots of funny bits. If you're not paying attention and miss half a chapter it doesn't really matter too much. Book 7.5 is a full cast epic production with a few well known sci-fi actors.

If you're looking for something that'd you'd get at the pharmacy for $10 then Jack Reacher is pretty fun for the first 10 or so books. I find the most interesting bit being that they're contemporary and basically released annually with the first being released in 1997. You can see the technology change and the world around Jack change. I tapped out after book 20 or so but it was an enjoyable enough experience.

Likely the majority of their staff is sales, marketing, account managers and management.

Bing has got you covered

I could be wrong but I don't think you drink cocaine..
