@GlovoKenya I ordered 3 ice creams from somewhere no more than 20 minutes from my house. Why did my order take an hour & a half to get to me? The rider took my order,went for another delivery on the opposite side then delivered my ice cream, which may as well have been milkshakes

Sometimes we take life too seriously as if when we die, the world will stop. When you die, the only thing that will stop is your heart. Everything else will go on as if you never existed. We should never inflate our worth.
As we say in Kikuyu, "the world has no owner".

@GlovoKenya why am I being told I have an outstanding amount when I have already paid for that delivery?

I don't understand the argument that Jews were genocided and ethnically-cleansed by others and that somehow gives Israel the right to genocide and ethnically-cleanse Palestinians.

Shrinkflation and Skimpflation!

When inflation is running high, the local currency is weakening, and consumer purchasing power is weakening, companies resort to various means to survive.

First, they know that increasing prices on their products may reduce demand and risk losing market share to competitors.

So, they may resort to shrinkflation. In this case, they maintain the same product prices but reduce product quantities. You may have experienced this with bread, milk, coffee and tea. This is easier to notice.

The notorious tactic on the quoted tweet is called skimpflation and it may often fly under the radar. In this case, companies reduce the quality of their products by swapping materials, removing some ingredients, or even selling some product accessories separately.

Have you noticed that smartphones no longer come equipped with earphones and chargers..

Skimplation is more dangerous since it may involve something subtle such as reducing the amount of vitamins in a product. Companies do this to save on production costs and survive a tough economic environment.

All this represents attempts by companies to retain profitability in an economy where the fiat currency is being devalued. For instance, since Jan 2020, the Kenya shilling has lost from 100 to 160 against the USD. I expect to see more shrinkflation and skimpflation on various products in 2024.

Here is a quick challenge.. kindly share photos and prices of products that have experieced shrinkflation or skimpflation in Kenya since 2020 on the comments below.

The Israeli army has just hit a school in Gaza and killed 100 people. No one talks about it and it "seems" that X censors these topics.

LinkedIn is like Mukuru kwa Zuckerberg in a power suit and tie.

The social media platform is full of inauthentic personas captured by buzzwords, cliches and the desire to project an image of success.

I'm struggling to create marketing strategies that authentically connect with LinkedIn users. Anyone had any meaningful success in marketing to and reaching users on that platform?

According to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, Kenya is losing an estimated Kshs 608.0 bn to corruption yearly, which is 7.8% of Kenya’s GDP. And, if there are truer things that can be said, one of it is that this administration will NOT fight corruption. why...

KK gvt was funded by and is full of politicians with corruption allegations from previous administration.

The list is long, and it is such characters top down.

This administration fighting corruption means fighting its own political machinery.

That is why Kenyans must make them do it whether they like it or not.

It is also a wakeup call for Kenyans to vote wisely or suffer in such hands!
