If the 20x is correct, you may be talking about the difference between $50/year and $1,000/year to operate it, so after five years you could buy quite a nice new fridge with the savings.

What's the advantage? It sounds like you'd need significant air clearance all around (including in back) instead of just the back?

I'm curious, where are you from that "American" used on its own doesn't specifically indicate united-states-of-?

I'm not the person you're talking to, but in today's attention economy-centric society, there are more currencies supporting "content" markets than just money.

If question: Muscle shirts (sleeveless tees) are usually less revealing than tank tops, which are narrower at the shoulders and can have huge armholes that expose more of the torso

If riddle: idk, what?

Part of this is accountability. As you move up, you take on more responsibility for bigger and bigger things going right or wrong. This can mean a greater potential to do big things for the company, and it can also mean a higher risk of getting fired in disgrace and becoming unemployable. Most people demand more compensation to step into such a role. Agreeing to do so means you're becoming a more deeply embedded part of the company, so the company cares more whether you're happy, because it's theoretically more vulnerable now if you should go rogue.

Leadership also means you're more likely to be thinking about work (which is itself work) outside of standard office hours, which is only possible if your compensation allows you to outsource some aspects of your life, e.g. hiring a cleaner.

And if you're in a position that's visible within the company or beyond, they want you looking good. Nice things, clean clothes, a lifestyle for junior employees to aspire to, and an image that projects success on behalf of the company.

Also all the reasons everyone has already named. Lots of reasons. And yeah, it should be possible to move up to the same compensation level by being good at the actual work, but capitalism = scaling = constant need for leadership. Anyway, you won't be there forever, so if you're really that good, the company extracts more value out of you training those coming up behind you than just rewarding you for doing the same things for 30 years.

Is it? It looks the same to me when I flip my phone. Perhaps it looks off because it's in a bolder or newer set, like the B and some other letters. Or maybe it's AI and every detail is random.

I can't tell if these are meant as messages or just observations

Edit: I had not considered the third possibility: shitposts

Yeah but if the work were bad, she probably would've included that in the criticism, because it's a way better criticism

I suppose this makes sense, since 3rd party delivery opened up delivery options that couldn't/wouldn't provide delivery on their own—because before you could get anything delivered, it didn't seem like a realistic or necessary service line. Now that we've seen how quickly 3rd party goes to shit and how important delivery actually is, the dream would be for some restaurant chain to evolve its own delivery service and use their size to gain traction, somehow slowing down the 3rd parties enough to allow smaller restaurants to slide in with their own private or cooperative delivery. And a dream it shall remain...
