Don Shula Dies at 90
I’m not a Miami fan, but I saw this pop up this AM on my feed and I thought it worth noting. I can’t speak to coaching style, tactics, version of the man, so I won’t pretend that I can. But he was the winningest coach in NFL history. I am always respectful of people who performed consistently over a long period of time and rose to the top of their games.

On average in that previous article they were the cheapest grocery store to shop at because they focus on “less” selection and more control of the brands offered in their stores because they largely focus on private label products (brands they own). With that strategy they also get a few more advantages including controlling ingredients, packaging and more. This article in Reader’s Digest discusses products they won’t sell anymore; a few of the main reasons why one should shop there aside from cost. Because they control much of the manufacturing, they can take ethical stands that other grocers can’t.

They are offering qualified employees who are not health / emergency workers a chance at early retirement options, and more. It’s an interesting view into some of the ways all of our communities will have to adjust moving forward.
