So?
It's called a fact. I understand they are hard for you to comprehend.
It doesn't matter to this argument. You can buy a whole roasted chicken for about $6. That's a fact as well.
Do you have proof that supermarkets lose money on their whole roasted chickens? Because "probably" isn't usually something ascribed as "fact". It is a fact that there is a probability value assigned to the postulate that they lose money on roast chickens but do you have evidence that it is in fact true?

Actually the probability value was in regards to how many other products are being sold at a loss in a grocery store.

It is pretty well known that roasted chickens are loss leaders. It is one of the staples of loss leader diets, the diet of the ridiculously frugal.

Assuming for the sake of argument that the supermarkets lose money on the chickens (fact not in evidence), so what? The fact remains that they are ubiquitous, have been so since forever, and show no sign of waning in availability. If they fall out of fashion, something else will take their place. It is important to note that even if a supermarket is losing a bit of money per chicken sold, it is no skin off anyone's nose. Taxpayers aren't on the hook for the loss. It is a purely voluntary service supermarkets choose to provide of their own free will to the "ridiculously frugal".
The point is that a near-universally-available meat source, coupled with rice and beans and some inexpensive seasoning will provide a family of four with a filling, nutritious, delicious dinner for a lower cost per person than any fast food restaurant can provide.

You made an unsupported claim that roast chickens are sold at a loss. What's your point? Or - as zappaisgod immediately put it - So?

I didn't realize giving a random fact needed to have a point. Next time you're at the grocery store, look at the price of a pre-cooked roasted chicken, then find a raw chicken of a comparable weight and look at the prices.

bears shit in the woods. See how giving pointless facts with no context is a waste of space?
And your little experiment doesn't prove shit. You don't know the markup on either item, nor do you know what kind of supply chain the grocery stores get. Maybe they mark up raw chickens because they know people will pay more. Maybe they get the cooked chickens in larger batches because they go quicker therefore they are cheaper.

random is random. If you are saying random shit with no intention of adding any substance to the conversation why bring it up?

Actually, that was an opinion. I realize you struggle with the differences, so I won't hold it against you.

That you added something was an opinion. That you thought so was a fact. I can't believe that even you didn't know your posts were pointless trolling.

Are you only engaging in such drivel because your thread went nowhere because you can't stitch together a coherent argument against "bumcare?"

There are plenty of valid arguments that have been presented.
