    I saw Costco raise membership fees, reduce people entering without a membership, and wondered if it was just profiteering without improving pricing. While their max profit is set to 14% which at least seems better than the price gouging under the label of inflation, I hope this is part of that improvements for society. It may not calculate out properly, but hopefully it does. For a lot of people, the 🌭 and 🍕 is also a great help too. They also stood up for DEIA and humanity, avoiding the falsehoods of fascism and scapegoating of the people systemically vulnerable and a real path to equity for all.
