Willfully Horn

I remember when standstill traffic came with venders selling nitrous from balloons.

Reflexively swallowing whatever one is fed is puerile, you lickspittle.

When you deepthroat dictator cock, do you play with the balls, too?

The amphetamine salt supply shortage is affecting damn near everything.

Chip Roy is the personification of a ball-less scrotum.

Hey, your wife is full of them. Meanwhile, don’t sleep on flood and erosion control, water supply, maintenance, traffic flow, fire and health related response, as well as attempting to civilize and instruct the newest among us. You dismiss so many lives. Must be something you are taught to do on your job. Low class ingrate.

Aw. Things your wife said DID cheer you up. Bless her heart.

On behalf of those folks who believe in public service, and who live honorable, productive lives, fuck you, you hateful micropeen.

Okay, maybe so. Was wearing four rose colored glasses.

Stopped watching Maher maybe two years ago. Comedians, in general, irritate me these days. They’re not pissed enough.

I admit that I was pissed when TCU fans disrespected Worthy like that. Edited to say, in my defense, those fingers were inches from Worthy’s face.

Putting that theft into context is not, and has never been, a denial. But you know that, and have nothing else to bleat, do ewe?

Here’s a report from this year. You will learn that outside theft is 38% of shrinkage. As stated by the National Retail Federation, employee theft is 28.5% and control failures 25.7% (the last two are indeed more than external loss.) https://popular.info/p/a-closer-look-at-californias-267 This article revisits the one that I think you based this thread upon. It includes the following: ”In a major shift, Walgreens, which said it saw a spike in shrink during the pandemic and cited organized retail crime in its decision to close five San Francisco stores in 2021, is backtracking. “Maybe we cried too much last year” about shrink numbers, Walgreens finance chief James Kehoe said on an earnings call earlier this month. During its latest quarter, the company’s shrink rate fell to around 2.5% from 3.5% of total sales last year.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/18/business/retail-shoplifting-shrink-walgreens/index.html So, since your beef has been minced, why don’t you nut up and admit you were wrong. Instead, go write a letter about how Republican appointees are squandering taxpayer funds, paying $76M to an individual not to do the job they were hired to do.

You keep sliding around the issue, in keeping with the divisive, racially tinged, narrative of your talking points. Democrat big cities bad, because theft. Don’t look at wage theft, which is much, much worse. Wage theft also led to cities declaring themselves sanctuary cities, because employers would stiff those workers with uncertain immigration status. Bonus! Sanctuary cities BAD is the cry from the right, not deadbeat employers are bad. Ffs, the right is currently in lockstep behind an infamous deadbeat, and has tolerated an identity thief among their official ranks. But, they will focus on retail shrinkage, by God, and insinuate that it is out of control, while ignoring context, like relative cost to society and that employees are the main culprits.

That’s what was reported. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised you are facile enough to view the federal government as the deus ex machina solving wage theft, and so, to dismiss it as a source of societal harm. Nor that you vote for a party that openly is trying to dismantle the ability of the federal government to solve such problems. I can’t say with certainty that you are dishonest about caring about society. But, I do think you care more about the term Black Friday.

I’d appreciate hearing the centrist position. Care to share it?

🤘🤘🤘

FIFY Bill Hicks: "There's no connection between having a gun and shooting someone with it, and not having a gun and not shooting someone.... and you'd be a fool and a communist to make one."

Did you read the part that states wage theft totals are considered merely the tip of an iceberg, or where workers often need lawyers to engage the “robust” DOL? How do you justify the robust descriptor if lawyers are needed? Do you suppose hiring lawyers to engage the less robust PDs might benefit retailers?

Some notice would be helpful. Not MJ: https://www.epi.org/publication/wage-theft-bigger-problem-forms-theft-workers/ Hey, you were complaining about quality of life. Now you seem dismissive of out of control crime.

This CSM article references Palestinian voices that, today, are supporting a two state solution along with acknowledgment that Israelis, too, deserve to live in peace. These folks see an opportunity to make progress working toward such a future precisely because of the harm Hamas instigated on 10/7 (justifiably provoked, or not.) They seek mediators from abroad, (and definitely not including the US,) and speak of a carrot of normalized relations between Israel and SA. The vehicle for these changes is the PA. The problem, as stated in the article, is that it seems pretty unlikely that the Palestinian people will accept the PA as legitimate. Is this the type of agitprop you mention? https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2023/1108/As-Gaza-war-rages-West-Bank-officials-see-a-path-toward-peace

If aggy uses university funds to buy out a 50plus million dollar contract, the whole place needs to be shuttered, then nuked from orbit.

I associate Shoney’s with a ball of bacon.

Feels so unreal, watching those live cams. Any second a volcano could erupt half a world away… Drinking ice cold vodka and empathizing with the citizens of Grindavik, and bugging.
