@VerizonSupport Shout out to ^SM for their tech support this evening! First class all the way.

@VerizonSupport The Bland County VA home telephone service is not working. No one appears to have Verizon home telephone service in Zip Code - 24315-4693. There are multiple 85+ year olds who need the service as it’s the only line of communication they have.

I've written about this before, but I often wonder how much of our "economy" is fake.

Back in the day in Los Angeles there was a prevalence of "Cell Phone Accessory" stores. Sometimes several per block.

We'd film on these dumpy commercial streets, and be working in front of these shops for days. But we wouldn't see a single customer enter or exit.

The off duty cops we hired for traffic control explained that it's all money laundering. Same with the bodegas, the vape shops, and most of the restaurants.

In Los Angeles, and many other cities, there are miles and miles of streets full of businesses with no customers. And yes, most of them are owned by immigrants.

Another story, this time from San Francisco...

A new asian hotdog place opened in my neighborhood. It looked cute from the outside. Thought it might have good food (sometimes these places do). So I went in and ordered a hotdog....

The cute asian girl disappeared into the kitchen. Doesn't come out for a long time. After 15 minutes I walk to the counter and ask "how's it going in there?" but I got no answer.

So I peeked into the "kitchen". And to my surprise there was no kitchen--it was just an empty room. No fridge, no stove, no food.

And there was no cute asian girl.

She'd left.

She had my money so I stuck around to see what the fuck was going on. A few minutes later she returned with a hotdog. I have no idea where she got it from. (I asked but she pretended not to understand English👍)

So this raises some questions, because in San Francisco the health department "grade" must be placed in the window of the restaurant. And the fake hotdog place had a legit 99% rating (probably because they had no food on the premises).

So somebody from the city of San Francisco inspected, and passed, a fake restaurant. The inspectors were probably on the take. At best, they looked the other way.

These "shops" take up a lot of retail space--it's a lot of real estate. And retail space--especially in San Francisco and Los Angeles--is expensive, mainly because the cheap space is taken up with fake businesses.

In the past I've looked into opening retail businesses. The biggest expense is rent. And it's so expensive that I abandoned the business ideas after running the numbers.

So how much of the commercial real estate market is propped up by these sham businesses?

And how many honest entrepreneurial Americans could be running their own small businesses but aren't doing so because the rent is too damn high?

Once you start looking for fake businesses you can't stop seeing them.

So the next time you're driving around your city, look at the dumpy commercial strips, and the dirty "store" windows. Then look at the crappy strip malls with peeling paint, cracked signs, and empty potholed parking lots.

Then ask yourself, "How much of this is fake?"

WOW 🚨 Virginia Democrats just introduced a new bill that makes it ILLEGAL for state agencies to vet the clients nonprofits give money to

READ THAT AGAIN

Democrats are making it illegal to know where your tax money is being sent

“Abigail Spanberger — There is literally a bill that makes it illegal for state agencies to actually demand that the 501C3s and the charitable organizations that they give money to vet their clients to make sure that the money is going to people that are actually eligible.

Like, wait a second, you made it illegal for a state agency to make sure that the tax dollars it gives out actually goes to the people that are supposed to get it, only the qualified people? Yes, that is the bill right before the General Assembly”

2015: Hillary Clinton is asked about the m*rder of Kate Steinle by a criminal alien in sanctuary San Francisco.

Hillary says she has “absolutely no support" for cities that don’t listen to DHS on deportations:

“Any city should listen to the Department of Homeland Security, which, as I understand it, urged them to deport this man."

"The city made a mistake not to deport someone that the federal government strongly felt should be deported."

"I have absolutely no support for a city that ignores the strong evidence that should be acted on."

Virginia Democrats just moved to make ANY possession of 10+ round gun magazines a misdemeanor in Virginia. No grandfather clause.

Millions of Virginians own standard 30rd magazines.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

While the entire country focuses on Minneapolis for the next 48 hours, Democrats in Virginia have passed a bill out of committee that allows government bureaucrats to receive unlimited taxpayer funding to buy a house.

This is their definition of delivering on “affordability.” Free housing for their loyal voting base and higher home prices for you.

So they've created a border and designated certain individuals as 'illegal' within that border.

Huh.

[David Joe May @TheGrayRider]

Here's how this works in a nutshell.

1. Congress makes federal immigration laws. It's their job.

2. Federal officers enforce these laws with the oversight and direction of the executive branch. It's their job.

3. Local law enforcement arrests criminals and if they're found to be illegals, they detain them for ICE. It's their job.

4. ICE sends 1 or 2 agents and a peaceful exchange of custody of the illegal takes place in the local jail. It's their jobs.

When steps 3 and 4 are ignored and fails, the illegal is released back into the population and ICE has to hunt them down.

If local law enforcement doesn't give ICE intelligence of where to find said illegal it becomes more labor intensive and requires more agents and resources.

If protests take place as ICE has to overcome the lack of locals ignoring steps 3 and 4, locals have the responsibility to control the protests.

MN deliberately skipped steps 3 and 4 then failed to control the protests.

Totally a local fail.

BREAKING🚨: Democrats and Antifa out here straight-up hunting suspected ICE agents. Livestreamer ambushed and attacked in his car in Minneapolis TONIGHT. This is getting insane.

[Chef Andrew Gruel @ChefGruel]

I post food prices in my recipes based on national averages. Then my comments section turns into an argument about local prices. Here’s a solution: find a restaurant depot in your market. It’s a national brand for restaurants that sells wholesale. After the pandemic, they opened up shopping for regular shoppers if they get a day pass (it’s free). You can buy whole chuck rolls for 4.99 lb, massive cuts for well below market, seafood, produce, spices, etc. You’ll save in the thousands over a few months.

Do any laws even mean anything anymore. How’s this not a clear violation of the civil rights act?
