@fuchsiii the nice part is that this allows #LyingWithNumbers.

Nevermind the #ReducedLifecycle and the entire production chain can never offset such a high failure rate, but those don't show up on #EnergyBills, #PowerMeters and the like...

@mircoxi it should not be a fineable offense, because a fine means it's only illegal for small/"poor" corporations.

It's the #HR equivalent of #MarkToMarketAccounting...

  • They should be obligated to fill an advertised vacancy and evidence it!

@fennix on paper they can only do that by economies if scale and streamlined logistics as they like a small crocery buy from the same B2B wholesalers.

  • But I do share the same scepticism considering that they individually wrap portion ingredients and thus destroy some scalability advantages.

In the end ist's convenient numbers' shuffling aka. #LyingWithNumbers by omnission and sewed data.

  • I think if they focussed on the "eat healthier" and 'learn cooking basics' part they'd get a far more honest advertising campaign, because that is something they can be objectively way better.

Also the "carbon-friendlyness" is something with absurdly diverging data for comparison: Shure if people drive a #SuperUselessVehicle like an F-350 RAM 3500 just to get a bag of toast and milk, even a Parcel Delivery with a Model T using leaded fuel is emitting less #CO2 but if you have their target audience of above-average income city center yuppies that may not even own a car and most likely just a bike if not shop on foot or public transport or a big family buying food in bulk for 2 weeks at a time, this while marketing may become questionable.

  • Shure they'll still beat a delivery driver for takeout with an old compact car but they specifically want to say they're 'better than grocery shopping' which I'd put into question by my own, I'd say normal grocery buying patterns.
