The problem with pound land was always that they not only made their USP "everything for a pound" they baked it into their name and whole premise. So when inflation inevitably devalued the pound too far, little by little the number of items available at £1 dropped along with the quality of the products.
I can't tell you how disappointed I was to find out they had stuff in there that cost more than a pound. And what is the point of a pound shop that doesn't sell anything at a pound.
Pretty sure that Musk has realised he alienated his prior fan base by courting this government so publicly and passionately.
Now he is trying to reclaim his former status by attacking the Trump admin thinking the left will love him for it. Trouble with that is, petulent is not a good look, nor is appearing not to have an allegiance to anything but money. His mask has slipped and that won't be forgotten, he did a nazi salute twice on the international stage ffs. No one is going to see Musk as a champion for the left or the environment again.
Not only has he screwed Tesla by making them unfashionable, he's now screwed SpaceX by pissing off a major source of income.
But we are still to believe that the guy is a financial genius and not just lucky, right?
Amazon 1 year after launch: Unfortunately, the space needed for robots in the van means that the van has to return to base 5 times more often to reload with the actual packages and the extra weight of robots more than doubles the weight of the van being lugged around in the form of heavy robots. So that's why we are having to charge more for delivery and why it is taking longer for you to get your packages. But at least we can pay fewer salaries.
I find it so hard to believe that an ethnic group who have suffered an attempt at ethnic cleansing - being hunted, tortured and murdered - by the nazis could so quickly forget how that feels and be capable of doing it to another group. I'd imagine that any Jewish survivor of the WW2 concentration camps would be appalled that today Israel is now the one attempting ethnic cleansing.
...and yet that is exactly what they are doing. The only difference is their concentration camp is much bigger.
