If you were right it would be happening and they would be winning.

It just doesn’t happen. If you aren’t D or R you’re not getting party funded, and running independent is fucking hard. If you’re D or R You’ll get primaried to death by a better funded same party opponent who doesn’t mess with the source of said party funding.

All I want is a party by and for the people

Never going to happen.

Political parties are run by the wealthy elite, not “the people”

There’s nothing to allow for a candidate who is sincere but not connected to big money to succeed at anything but the most local of elections.

If someone were to win a bigger federal level election with word of mouth and no money, be sure that whatever social media platform that allowed their word to go out and grow was on their side and working in the shadows of their ‘formula’ that promotes some content over others.

This same thing plays out at many major food banks countrywide.

Find out where the manufacturer’s warehouses and production plants actually are, and the nearest large food banks will be the recipients of their trash.

Tax write off of retail value (donated retail product), instead of tax write off of actual cost. I wouldn’t be surprised if the writeoff is net zero for them from retail value.

Amazon perishables are mostly whole foods. The UNFI cyberattack is going to cause likely hundreds of tons of spoiled product nationwide as they have no idea where to ship anything, and the production line doesn’t just stop having fresh product to process.

I don’t think restaurants are going to want hundreds of pounds of product at the very end of life in terms of freshness. This is the product the manufacturer couldn’t sell to a store for various reasons.

This is because if something goes bad from the food you give away the business will get sued for not having cold chain verification or a quality department to make sure the food was not altered in any way. Warehouses (aka ‘distribution centers’) typically have that kind of process, but retailers do not as Quality department employee salaries are typically several times what retail employees make, and often substantially higher than department managers, shift managers, and other low level retail management roles.

this has nothing to do with churches.

This is companies maximizing their tax deduction by donating at retail value instead of writing off the loss of actual cost.

The branding is one aspect, they definitely publicize the food bank donations and it’s often one of the few things food manufacturers do that sounds good. The rest is just profit and employing mass contract labor at near minimum wage.

If they threw out thousands of pounds of product it would look like a bad number if publicized… if they donate ten thousand pounds of tomatoes a couple days before they go bad they get to look like they donated ten thousand pounds of tomatoes in value, and then they get to write that off as a donation.

I’m pretty sure when they do said “donations” they get to write off the retail value, whereas if they just wrote it off as a loss to the business it would only be the actual cost.

They do this because they can write off the “donation” (e.g. garbage disposal)

All of this produce was going to go bad, they know what date it’s going bad, but they overproduce or customers cancelled orders or under ordered.

UNFI, the massive breached company, is going to have this same thing play out across the board from product wasting away in their warehouse.

Foundation is pretty excellent as well.

I go with the path of least resistance for top quality. I don’t think a subscription can give you this.

This needs to be run through 4chan, twatter, facebook and reddit, then put back here.

Immersion therapy man. Go find a board game meetup, exercise meetup or sports meetup or something that puts you in a situation where you’re gonna be able to have casual conversations.

Loads of people just like you with social anxiety and who are introverted though in the US, and honestly any nation in the Americas… and probably the world.

Men’s bathrooms should by code be floor to ceiling and private especially in schools.

FTFY

I don’t know what the US obsession is with giving anyone the option to crawl under or climb over a stall door.

I don’t know what the US obsession is with making us hear and smell our bathroom stall neighbors either.

lmao don’t worry we’re not alone, I was just being a little shit in spirit of the post :)

The person in the photo needs to cut their nails.

I bought it on pre-release on steam and refunded it right before go live.

Love how try before you buy works now. Charge me for early access to play a couple days early? Well shucks… guess I get a free trial period.

By the end of the weekend I was disillusioned. No meaningful exploration in a space game is insane.

Imagine how terribly different games would be if someone had patented “A action where a user presses a button to swing their weapon, and if that weapon hits an enemy, that enemy takes damage.”

I’m sure nintendo will have a patent for using a command for a menu to use an effect that buffs, heals, or harms. That way they can prove they are the ones who invented JRPGs too.

Why is there nothing in place to punish Ninendo for doing shit like this?

Patent law is rigged. Legal monopolies shouldn’t exist.

Welcome to how the world works. I promise it gets worse as you look around.

Humans are evil.
