I'm sorry... “intentionally abandoned by the state that promised to protect them”? I believe it's been established by the courts that cops aren't under any obligation to protect anybody.

Ta, Stephen. My member of the City Council ran unopposed. She's a fine Democrat, but I voted for her on Working Families party line, to keep them on the ballot.

Why?

We are facing an existential threat and you are supporting third parties?

No. Working Families Party in NY are ALL Democrats. Biden was their nominee for president, to name just one example.

These friggin' "independents". In the immortal words of Brian Griffin, undecided voters are the biggest idiots on the planet.

The cannabis dispensaries in Northern Virginia are giving 20% discount to anyone displaying an “I voted “ sticker. I spent a few of my Soros Voting Check dollars there.

So Gary is probably Kyrsten Sinema but (presumably)better at pole work*.

*This is not a slam. I am in awe of a lot of pole dancers. Which reminds me: WHAR P-VALLEY??? I was promised a 3rd season!

Hopefully, this talks down a few of those freaking out about recent polls showing Trump "may be" up on ole Joe (in very early polls) to step down from the bridge rails and not consider stepping in front of the next bus or train. We've gotta have "hopeium", but we've also gotta go out and actually vote.

What happens in the privacy of that booth stays private.

Same with the voting booth.

Maybe we should look into having a champagne room at voting locations?

Monica Gary has a lot of Republican supporters in much the same way as RFKJr had a lot of Republican supporters.

Farmers in NE donut like to lose $ to sell their soybeans and other stuffs.

In the old days they used to listen to Farm Reports prices in the early morning.

Then on the tee vee box while having breakfast.

Today's iPads will tell them anything they want to know, any product, anytime, anywhere.

But they don't really need all that. Just count trucks left storing on site vs storing at the co-op.

Waiting for better prices.

Maybe WeWork can convert some of their office space to grain silos?

Ya know, people are always gonna eat!

"Stunning"

Not for anyone with more than 3 braincells. WeWork was always a blatant Ponzi scheme and the founder a lunatic.

I'm mildly impressed they lasted this long past the pandemic, but their valuation was a giant display of how incredibly stupid investors can be.

It's a company with no long-term assets on its books and nothing but long-term liabilities.

They should have been laughed out of every single pitch meeting and financial due-diligence should have just come back with a verdict of: Fuck no, are you concussed?.

Sorry, you don't approve of unregulated financial speculation systems?

Bitcoin is only dumb if you believe the publicly stated use case.

It's actual use case, it's very effective at.

Bit inefficient, but effective.
