been this way for decades or since like ever. I remember working at Best Buy in the early 00s and the primary shrink factor was internal theft not shoplifting. Hell the LP guy that stood in the front of the store with the yellow shirt spent more time watching employees than actual customers.
“stole” from a Metro. Good. in Canada all of THREE companies own ALL the grocery chains in the country. Metro being one of them. So I totally support this.
Also if you ever see someone stealing food from a Canadian owned grocery store, no you didn’t. and if you ever report ANYONE for stealing from a Metro or Loblaws or Sobeys or ANY of their subsidiaries then you’re a piece of shit.
“We have the money to fix the problem, we really just don’t want to.”
Everyone always says homelessness is a complicated issue due to addiction and mental health and then that’s it. full stop. in many peoples heads those TWO groups are the ONLY groups that make up the homeless population. but after volunteering I know better. you have students, you have women escaping domestic abuse, you have the elderly who can no longer afford rent, you have kids who are LGBTQ+ that have been disowned by their families, you have refugees, and you have people who simply lost their jobs and fell through the cracks.
allowing students to sleep in their cars is not a solution. it’s another band aid applied to a massive gaping wound. And this isn’t just an America issue, several countries are guilty of band aid “solutions”. I mean hell here in Canada the government is talking about investing $1billion into AI for fucks sake. That $1billion could be better served in providing people with homes. There’s never any long term planning here, always short term “solutions”. Wouldn’t it be advantageous to governments to ensure people have homes in order to get them back into the workforce thus paying taxes.
Call me a heart on the sleeve soft liberal all you want but I’m of the firm belief that EVERYONE deserves and has the right to a home and food and if they can’t provide either of those things for themselves than we as a society, as a community, need to provide it for them. And I firmly believe that the majority of our society feel the same and wouldn’t mind their tax dollars going towards that. It’s just that the powers that be don’t want that.
OR They want Vance to be prez but think having an Indian wife ain’t going to help so they’re all “ok JD, pick someone other than a couch” and JD was all “Kirks wife wears leather pants” and so Charlie had to go.
“people were literally crying laughing” I’ve never wanted to punch someone in the throat more than this ass clown.
oh shut up. I hate it when these rich fuckers are all “I got to where I am because I work hard.” no you got to where you are because you’re wealthy. Unlike EVERYONE fucking under your ass you can afford to hire a private chef to cook your meals, maids to clean your house(s) and do your laundry/chores, nannies for your kids, assistants to run your errands, all while you pull out your phone and write some god awful poorly written emails because that’s all you fuckers do and I know this because in my field I deal with morons like you. None of you idiots work hard. An LLM could do your job, in fact that’s the goal.
Couldn’t write an email to save your life. they all write them like they’re in an ICQ conversation.
“Ah! I see the problem now, you don’t want to live anymore! understandable. Here’s a list of resources on how to achieve your death as quickly as possible”
honestly…Yeah man I’d pay for this.
“you kept making the stops?!”
“YOU’RE BATMAN!”
People thinking this is a joke or laughing at this don’t seem to remember when Apple released what was essentially a sock for your ipod video. or how about the $1000 monitor stand? or the wheels for your Powermac that cost hundreds of dollars.
This is Apple folks. If they can find a way to nickle and dime their gullible cultish user base they will do it. They’ve been doing it since…well since the company was founded.
it is. it’s a “first world” nation where the healthcare of you and your family is directly tied to your place of employment. it’s a “first world” nation where mass shootings are the norm and there’s an insanely strong refusal to do anything about it. It’s a “first world” nation where you’re actively discouraged from seeking assistance from the government and in doing so is a sign of weakness. It’s a “first world” nation where the citizens taxes will go more towards military spending as opposed to infrastructure.
There’s nothing “first world” about the united states of america. It’s a country built on a system that was designed to prevent uprisings. If you protest constantly for change there’s the strong likely hood that you’ll lose your job, thus your healthcare, thus your ability to eat.
It’s a guy wearing an uncle sam halloween costume with a nazi armband underneath.
because the man was one of Trumps “good ones” and they are afraid of the wrath of the fuhrer. I can guarantee you that if this was another employee of trumps that he had zero interaction with that nothing would be done. But I’d bet good money this dude Trump “liked” or was a caddy or someone that he interacted with constantly while golfing.
yeah with the way things have been going this tracks.
“Remember the time her Mom intentionally published her sex video” ftfy.
well last time it went until the early 40s so…you probably got like another 15 years or so. they’ll replace the main character though because he’s aging out of the part.
I’ve seen this episode before
also helps to not eat twinkis and other snack cakes with maggots in them. which he has done.
shit I’m more likely to put a nuclear power plant on the moon guarded by state of the art Mobile Suits piloted by Jedi Knights than Russia is.
