I've lived in a major US city and a smaller one in the past few years. Block Club Chicago and the local Axios newsletter are far better than anything I ever read in a newspaper. I hope they are sustainable.

Which model did you own? I haven't bought one but had been considering buying an almost unitasker because the reviews from trusted sources seemed very good. Serious Eats in particular seems to love the brand.

Bean counter to me always meant accountants looking through data to squeeze out an extra one or two cents by slightly making their product worse. Like Papa John's over the past twenty years using a slightly worse cheese, pepperoni, etc

Are there any studies that show stores didn't eliminate employees and raise prices anyway?
