remember: Trump’s campaign is trying to link every woe americans face to immigration.

Because the GOP are racist fuckwads and that kind of messaging actually works with their base.

But setting legalities aside…I wonder how practical it would be to do something like this and get better output than these guys flying the things did?

Ghost kitchens can be rented for not very much in terms of expense. using a ghost kitchen rental, you can bake them the night before and sell them in the morning. Some of the spaces I’m looking at, it’s about 150/month (USD) for a furnished kitchen. you can then drive them out that morning to outlets (Grocery stores, gas stations, farmers markets?).

alternatively, its about 2k for a low end comercial convection oven, about 6k for a conveyer/impinger oven (which would offer higher through-put on the cookies and bake-on-demand.) a comercial mixer goes for abotu 1k, and then there’s the truck… which not gonna guess at.

the airfare, if that’s what they were doing is 150 for the cheapest ticket, which would stack up. from what I can tell, general shipping starts at around that much as well. Meaning that it would stack up quickly. So for a one time thing where you were scalping somebody else’s product? sure, it might make some sense. but you’re going to lose business fast since nobody is going to willingly pay 20 bucks for stale cookies, especially if they taste like the inside of someone’s luggage. (Though, I suspect they were shipped as airfreight, which is why it took 5 days to get out there. Not sure which would be worse. Tasting like someone’s luggage, or tasting like an amazon box.)

Personally, if I’m spending that much on a cookie, it had better be made fresh and come warm and gooey. Just saying.

A preexisting conflict cause might make sense,

sold off to the highest bidder. DUH. And that bidder might just be the cops. If you’re lucky. Might be a foreign government looking for expats. China. Russia. Wherever your grandma fled from.

It would have been real nice if certain Israeli politicians who are currently doing “a genocide” in Gaza hadn’t interfered in the last election back over a decade ago and ensured a hamas victory; specifically to prevent a peaceful Palestinian state.

You want to talk about the horrors of Hamas, don’t forget who helped fund them. And why.

If you were a divine, omnipotent, being, wouldn’t you give yourself a giant schlong?

At least…. Once…?

Nonono, you don’t get it! Microsoft is a small, low-profit business that we absolutely need to help protect cuz SoCiEtY NeEdS tHeM.

(Okay so there’s probably some military/national security angle they will push to justify it. And then bill us exorbitantly for that ai tool anyhow)

Wait. They weren’t talking about the cops in the photo?

Doesn’t seem to have worked, either. FTA:

Later, police officers arrived at the scene and persuaded the couple to leave.

Yup! That’ll persuade people,

The US pulling its support might.

We back off, Israel loses a lot of protection it’s just taking for granted.

Don’t forget the scalpers hoping to make a quick buck.

They also outright stole tips.

They way they did that was deduct from the delivery fee. So if the fee was 10 dollars and you tip five, they take five from the fee that would normally go to the driver.

it’s straight up wage theft. Door dash owes the drivers. they gave money to fraudsters, that’s on them.

I get taken by a fake IRS agent scam, i still owe my taxes. I get taken by a fake banker, I still owe the bank.

And yet, she married a rapist. Probably knowingly.

because Corpos are the largest thieves around. by dollar amount, wage theft and other white collar financial crimes are vastly more common than strong-arm robberies, or getting mugged on the street. (also pretty sure that it happens more frequently, too. but we can’t know that because it’s hardly enforced at all.)

For one thing, modern hiv treatments are sufficient to let people live basically normal lives (and more or less stops one from transmitting to sexual partners.)

It’s basically now “just” a chronic condition that requires managing, not a death sentence.

Lets remember, that Sanders has done more as an Independent than he ever could have if he joined one of the many 3rd-parties out there.

Also remember- just for an example- Jill Stein has never held any elected or appointed office and has no experience in governance, and the only thing she would be able to do is unite congress. Which would be hella impressive, considering. But she’d do it by uniting congress against her. at best, we’d have 4 years of nothing getting done or changed… though also probably weakened presidential powers. (which could be good.)

he reminds me of that yappy dog that picked a fight with a bear then ran and hid behind a bigger dog.

Yup. thanks bud. you’re on your own.
