More than 200,000 people had canceled their digital subscriptions by midday Monday, according to two people at the paper with knowledge of internal matters. Not all cancellations take effect immediately. Still, the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well. The number of cancellations continued to grow Monday afternoon.

    I’m delighted to hear that you can afford the prices of goods from modern brick and mortar stores. What about us 99% though?

      Idk wtf stores you’re going to, but prices are very similar between online and B&M, and where it’s not, I haven’t been to a store in years that won’t price match.

      To answer your question, the 99% of you just need to think about it for a second before parroting some dumbass take.

        This cannot be true unless the price of commercial retail real estate where you live is next to literally $0. I have never heard of a store, online, nevermind B&M, price-matching Amazon because this is economically impossible.

        But idk, I’m not American. In the UK we basically don’t have any actual stores anymore for anything other than food and/or clothes, and they are closed after 5PM, so good luck getting there just to pay 5x the price or sell a kidney for delivery fees.
