@AjOsborne1 Maybe you should build some storage in the Treasure Valley to accommodate all of that growth!

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

Hello! @Microsoft365 @Microsoft @Office
Horrible customer service center! Don’t use them! If you have issues you’ll be stuck in the doom loop of computerized hell and then hung up on!

[LisaT @LisaT07039928]

@Microsoft @Microsoft365 small business owner here. Spent hours trying to set up a single user Microsoft 365 business email and I’m now locked out due to missing global Admin assignment. Phone system hangs up chat loops back to sign in errors, no escalation path. PLEASE HELP!

[LisaT @LisaT07039928]

@Microsoft Dumbest most inefficient Business email sign up that could possibly exist! A free trial isn’t close to being worth the effort. If I had known I’d spend ALL DAY dealing with this, you couldn’t have paid me to sign up!

@sweatystartup I’d be happy choosing my own light bulbs and buying appliances that work too!

@elonmusk @fema Let me know where the blockades are and we’ll have NC State Police move them out of the way.

Already did it once, which is one reason why we have an escort now. FEMA has zero jurisdiction.

Trust me. They’re not going to win this one.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

SpaceX engineers are trying to deliver Starlink terminals & supplies to devastated areas in North Carolina right now and @FEMA is both failing to help AND won’t let others help. This is unconscionable!!

They just took this video a few hours ago, where you can see the level of devastation: roads, houses, electricity, water supply and ground Internet connections completely destroyed.

@FEMA wouldn’t let them land to deliver critical supplies … my blood is boiling …

@gas_biz Gas only and an occasional stop inside for the bathroom and a bottle of water.

From a friend ...
Friend of mine’s wife had to take her 16 yr old son to the DMV this week for a new license. Couldn’t get an online appointment(all full) so went in person and had to go to 3 DMV’s to get something done. First DMV was in Weatherford. Had a massive line of immigrants getting licenses and had a tent and table outside the front door of the DMV registering them to vote! Second one was in Fort Worth with same lines and same Dems out front. Third one was in North Fort Worth had no lines but had same voter registration drive.

People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America.

I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen:

1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to raise prices.

2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren’t allowed to raise prices.

3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (“center of the store”) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (“perimeter of the store”). Because stores in lower-income areas aren’t able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren’t fixed… yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.

4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren’t fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity.

5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didn’t have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled items—everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparel—and less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.

6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can’t compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren’t allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms.

7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms.

8. Smaller food producers—which typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chains—start to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores aren’t able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.

9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks.

10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities.

11. The government announces that prices for all key food costs—corn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.—are also now fixed, to stop “profiteers” from gouging the now-government-operated food industry.

12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding.

13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue.

Well, tonight they're getting both.

But beyond tonight, I am hoping that both @pizzahut and @dominos will see this amazing story and help provide many meat lovers pizzas in the future.

To those saying the election is over and Trump will win by a landslide, you’re being naive.

Here are my concerns:

1. He must first stay ALIVE in order to win

2. There’s a potential leak in Secret Service and protection of the president.

Too many blind spots. There needs to be better system of protection.

One bystander said he saw a shooter climbing up on top of the building. He told secret service and police but they didn’t react for several minutes.

A PMC needs to be hired to protect the President - someone like an Erik Prince from BlackWater (private military contractor).

3. Stage and AV security team needs to be upgraded.

I understand for optics not wanting to put bullet proof glass in front of a President when he speaks.

There’s no way if I’m running stage security and AV, a shooter should have any chance of getting an angle from the side or the back.

The biggest stage and AV companies in America who support high risk targets (political leaders) need to reach out to offer strategies.

This is insane.

4. RNC needs to double down on end to end security In Milwaukee.

Multiple Bomb squad teams need to inspect the Fiserv Forum Arena.

A redundant inspection to inspect the inspectors for any possible blind spots.

RNC is only a few days away.

QC’ing those who QC on steroids.

5. An immediate tweet, text and email needs to go to the entire base to raise money.

People need to know how to support.

Money
Volunteer
Expertise
Protection
Etc

Future looks bright but ONLY THE PARANOID SURVIVE.
