we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
In a last minute change, LA residents have agreed to raise sales tax from 9.75% to 10.25%.
Does anyone believe the majority of residents agreed to pay MORE taxes to California?
The best part: this increase is for healthcare to special people (in other words - ILLEGALS.)
@CSElmendorf@nithyavraman LA keeps raising taxes and passing laws that hurt real estate prices so it looks like long term the goal is to lower property values and increase low income housing. Only people building in LA are gonna be getting funds from the city to build.
@FlashReport Large amount of people here in Downtown LA told me they were voting for Pratt. The fraud is pretty obvious. Tbh even if people were just payed to vote thats fraudulent. Higher sales tax passing proves fraudulent voting. At least we can all agree we need a better voting process
Gavin Newsom just threatened to throw anyone who exposes election fraud in prison.
These are the same people lecturing us about “democracy” 24/7.
California is cooked.
@cabsav456 California is not allowing audits and putting laws in place making recording fraud illegal. 🤷♂️ what are you even talking about? LA literally tried to get rid of City Controller office because they were digging up too much dirt. You probably don’t even live in LA.
@RoKhanna@ZavalaA Yes truly believable that people voted to raise the sales tax in this economy. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck then its a duck. Tired of people running circles around the obvious truth.
The number 1 tell that the LA vote is cooked?
Based on current ballots the majority of people voted in favor of raising sales tax from 9.75 to 10.25%
On what planet would struggling Angelinos vote for this when they can’t afford housing and food. Total 🐂💩
@Jackkk Many people are like this. Knew a guy who owns an apartment building in LA and he was excited that he just rented an apartment for $3400 and the next sentence he said it was a shame that rents were so high around the city.
Just plugged in a 20 year iPod nano (MA489LL).
No lag. No loading indicators. UI is practically instant. No touchscreen.
I plugged in my Bose headphones and played Black Eyed Peas like 2006 was yesterday. Just fucking worked. Incredible.
Technology has gotten worse in so many ways. Younger people have no idea.
Not having to lock the front door to my house or take my keys out of my truck at night is absolutely worth dealing with “bad pizza” & limited mexican food options.
Whoever/whatever convinced young people otherwise is ridiculous.

A man in Texas was overcharged for an energy drink and a chicken biscuit at a gas station
His debit card was charged almost $1,300 for this breakfast
He immediately saw the charges, but the store did not fix on the spot due to "system glitch"
They asked him to talk to their corporate offices and file a dispute with his bank
He spent 8 days given a runaround to get his money back
That's because once you file a dispute, it could take a very long time, before you could get your money back
His exact words were: "It took 10 seconds to come out of my account, its taken 8 days so far and I was the one that was gonna have to go fix the issue by going to my bank. That's what i'm upset about. I shouldn't have had to leave that store without my money"
After his story was posted on the news however, they immediately refunded his money
This shouldn't have happened in the first place. The store shouldn't have charged them $1,300 for a breakfast meal. Then the store should've refunded the overcharge.
To me the moral of the story is to never use a debit card
That's because the money goes out of your bank account, and you are the one on the hook right away
You want to have an intermediary in place, a firewall of sorts to prevent bad things from happening
If this man had used a credit card, he could've disputed the charges directly with it, and wouldn't have been on the hook
Plus, the money would not have left his bank account
This is why you always use a credit card for purchases
The sad part is that you shouldn't have to publicly shame companies for them to do the right thing, but if all else fails, it is a good way to approach it. Otherwise, you need to pursue legal action to defend your rights.
To summarize:
Do not use a debit card for purchases, always use a credit card
Check your receipts
Be vigilant in monitoring your accounts and activity
Most humans will die without ever realizing that their brains have been completely hijacked by the indoctrination and conditioning of a few thousand psychopathic people in control of the information we're allowed to see and that is quite infuriating, actually.
This is a brand new package of Jimmy Dean bacon
The marked weight on the package is 12 ounces
If you take the unopened package and put it directly on a scale the weight is only 10.6 ounces, and that’s with the package
I looked up the law. In the United States the marked net weight on bacon packages must reflect only the weight of the bacon itself, excluding the packaging
Under FDA rules the packaging must be excluded
We are being robbed blind
