Re:Family Dollar to close almost 1,000 stores

Family Dollar aggressively lowered the number of employees in their stores leading to disorganized and dirty store locations. It isn't surprising that they are now closing these locations.

So annoying how hard they are marking up the storage upgrade. I get the pricing model where they gouge the power users to make the entry level unit cheaper. It just sucks when every product is gimped on storage just for this idiotic structure.

Not sure if this is mentioned but it sounds similar to another restaurant disruption that gained ground recently, I'm talking about redesigned food courts. The idea was an artisanal food courts that chefs could rent stalls in. I am sure they are still around but I know there was a lot of fuss over their exploitative practices.

With the 60% majority required in the Senate, entrenched two party system, lifetime appointment of judges, President's power of veto, I could go on forever but all the different aspects of the Constitution discourage any change to happen. It as much if not more of an issue with the American political system as it is the people who are elected. Although they are not without reproach considering the current campaign finance laws are a joke.

Pointing out the obvious injustice and loss of adjacency imposed on voters in these districts is the obvious reason for this project but leave it to Hacker News readers to fixate on the technical aspects of redistricting while ignoring the political and social reasons which led to this issue.
