Sure thing. 1) The theory is laid out in Inderst/Valletti and Inderst/Dobson but I frankly don’t have an opinion on that (nor am I talking about Costco specifically). What I’m saying is based on four years of conversations with at least two major wholesalers that supply…
Two questions: 1) What is your evidence for the claim that when a supplier offers Costco a lower price on a high volume order, that causes the supplier to raise prices on smaller retailers making lower volume orders?

I don't know, just thinking if Bari Weiss is panicking there are probably - at minimum - much worse photos than we have seen yet
He talks about the famine as though it is a natural disaster, not a war crime being committed by Israel.

Fascinating shift on Israel in the last few days from a very wide range of center-left politicians & voices that had previously defended the country’s conduct

The student protesters were obviously correct on Gaza. The reaction to them was obviously idiotic and depraved. We're probably still a while out from this being banal conventional wisdom, but it's coming.
If I get killed by Israeli bombs or my family is harmed, I blame Bari Weiss @bariweiss and her likes. Many maniacal Israeli soldiers already bombing Gaza take these lies and smears seriously and they act upon them.
Here is Refaat Alareer joking about whether or not an Israeli baby, burned alive in an oven, was cooked "with or without baking powder."
