@joffre.bsky.social · last wk.The RFP makes it look like the city is committing to provide ongoing subsidies to stores in order to have an offering in this category of goods that's 30% below *retail prices* elsewhere.
![NYCEDC intends for the Operator(s) to sell SKUs within each Core Basket Category ("Core Basket SKUs") at prices that are, on average, 30% below retail prices. NYCEDC seeks to collaborate with the Operator to achieve this discount while minimizing the need for NYCEDC's financial support beyond capital fit-out and payment of rent and property taxes.
[...]
Selling Core Basket SKUs at affordable prices: The Operator(s) will be responsible for selling each Core Basket SKU at an affordable price, which shall be updated on a monthly basis. The Operator(s) will set prices, subject to NYCEDC approval, targeting an average discount of 30% relative to the retail price. Prices may be determined based on available market data, operator input based on existing operations, and/or other observable data points. NYCEDC and the Operator will finalize a proposed pricing methodology and process in any agreements associated with this project. Affordable prices must:
• Be available at all hours of operations
• Be offered as "sticker prices," rather than as promotional prices.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gqqpmbwjeyvvgvde5dlosq3n/bafkreie5ruyclkjgironckkwb5h7vvecbtq4beealerj6t26lqqt5lz634)

New York Attorney General Letitia James@newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 2w agoWe just won a court order stopping the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. while our lawsuit continues. We’re going to keep fighting to keep costs down for consumers, protect jobs, and stop this illegal merger.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

New York Times Opinion@nytopinion.nytimes.com · last mo."Subsuming the fixed reality of gayness under the much more malleable banner of queerness undermines a core premise behind gay rights: that sexual orientation isn’t chosen," Matthew Vines writes.
