Awesome. This is really helpful and it gives me a good jumping off point. Thanks for all your help and for taking the time to give your knowledge to others
Sorry but you seem knowledgeable. Is crown royal safe? If you don’t know don’t worry I’ll do research later. Thanks in advance
Exactly. When it’s a loss of profit to the top it’s “boo hoo think of the workers.” And when it’s profit in surplus it’s “money for the top no money for the workers sry :)”
Thankfully many Americans are starting to see the pattern. The programming is insane and it’s a lot for most to break free from.
Like, you’re exactly right. If you’re worried about labor rights lobby to government for labor rights. Oh what’s that you don’t want that? You just want to guilt Canadians for protecting themselves?
It’s abuse tactics on an international scale. Fuck these assholes. Leck mich im Arsch.
I think you’re right. The statement from the Kentucky Distillers Association is absolutely meant to make you feel bad. It’s apologist slop that shifts the blame to potential foreign consumers.
It should be known that Kentucky’s largest city is deep blue and voraciously in favor of civil liberties and representative democracy. The Louisville subreddit had a thread on this and most people talking called the Association out for this terrible letter.
The general consensus in blue Kentucky is that: Feeling bad just enables the assholes like the Distillers Association. It’s unfortunate that those who tried to stop all this from happening will be hurt by the few who made it happen.
But as someone who will be personally be hurt and impacted by the loss of bourbon sales—give us hell. Don’t buy Bourbon. Don’t buy American. Thank you for not enable this bullshit.
“The officer then proceeded to say ‘We are with the police, you have to come with us.’ The officer told Mahmoud to give me the apartment keys and that I could go upstairs. When I refused, afraid to leave my husband, the officer stated ‘I will arrest you, too.’ The officers later barricaded Mahmoud from me.”
Mahmoud’s wife said they were not shown any warrant “and the Ice officers hung up the phone on our lawyer”. She said they cooperated fully and her husband remained calm, even though it was terrifying and traumatizing.
“Within minutes, they had handcuffed Mahmoud, took him out into the street and forced him into an unmarked car,” she said.
This should chill the spine of anyone reading. A president ordering the black bagging of anyone based on a social media post or association with university clubs is unconstitutional and unconscionable.
Worse—he’s set to appear in New York but they purposefully flew him to New Jersey and then a detention center in Louisiana. So that any lawyer retained would struggle to find or meet him.
Here we go. Wish us luck. We are going to need it.
I’m a huge fan of embrace the suck and cut slingload
Co-founder and former CEO of Twitter. So, kind of like: the chiX have come home to twit
It’s a self made recession by the corporations themselves. A thousand employees don’t matter to their bottom line.
If preparing for a recession is to blame here, then why at the same time are the Starbucks board giving the CEO $96 million buckadoos?
Again: we do not have to allow this. We do not have to allow "shit-work" companies to compete in our markets, where they drive reasonable, responsible employers out of business.
Well put and logical. Taking this thanks.
I trust you know this person well and that your experience is accurate.
However, you might find it useful to look up coping mechanisms in dealing with someone with OCPD. OCPD is extremely common and people with this personality disorder usually are extremely miserly and controlling. I’m not saying your person has this disorder. But from your story, the issues with money align closely enough that the tools people use in dealing with OCPD miserliness might help you. Or at the very least it might help you feel less alone in that experience.
I’m really sorry you are having to manage that and deal with this person. You sound like a very reasonable and empathetic person yourself. Please do something small and kind for yourself tomorrow. ❤️
How the fuck isn’t this stuff against business laws. How does this not break the fiduciary duty by self-dealing?
If what you’re saying is accurate then he’s a pro at creating parallel evidence.
Who am I kidding? Anyone who could bring a suit against the CEO probably doesn’t care.

THE HEIGHT OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY CUTTING PROGRAMS THAT BANK A NET GAIN OVER TIME
It kind of feels like tacking on the defund the police thing is so that headlines like this can be run. And Republicans then can be like “ohhh democrats DONT want to defund the police? Would you look at that! 😏”
When really, any resistance will be over the cuts to social entitlements and welfare as you helpfully pointed out.
I feel like I’m trapped in the SAW House and a bunch of people with me keep insisting it’s a normal house and we are waiting for the dinner party to start. And I keep screaming, The invitation said DONNER PARTY
Either way— thanks for writing that out for everyone it’s kind of you to take the time :)
