@RobbieJ377 FedEx ship times are days longer than usps and ups they need to get it together but retailers are not paying extra insurance for orders doubling the already high shipping costs
@bavedikian@BestBuy@FedEx People never think of the sellers imagine eating the cost of all the shipments that never make it to the buyers. I am one of those sellers shouldn’t be on our dime or time
@mandyarthur@grok So the certain country with the to big to fail honey pot intelligence trap knew that with certain threats of leaks they could blackmail and get the wars they wanted fixed it for ya
@MagneticNorse Those are not ticks it’s almost like there is a paid for media campaign scaring people like there is some new shot coming out that they want people to feel like they need to be saved or something 🫠
When I worked at Sears in the early 90's, the people there built entire lives off those jobs.
The guy running appliances had three kids, coached little league every weekend, and retired after 32 years with a pension.
One of the women in customer service bought her first house working full-time there, and the older guy in hardware took the same vacation to the Ozarks every summer because he could actually afford to unplug for a week.
The managers knew everybody by name, the Christmas bonuses actually meant something, and the store was packed every holiday season because business was booming.
Nobody thought they were "stuck" working retail - it was honest work that paid enough to live with dignity.
Somewhere along the way, corporations started making record profits while the people keeping the place running could barely afford rent.
When exactly did a steady full-time job stop being enough to build a normal life?
@BrendenJonesNC Need to get rid of the property tax altogether. Property taxes took away ownership rights from the people. Increase the sales tax to make up for it. No way in hell should the state be able to steal your paid off house because you get sick and fall on tough times
Ours make a loud ruckus at dusk for about 20 minutes when they fly up to roost in a tree but we keep them for their tick eating abilities. They survive on their own with no protection including zero degrees I just make sure to keep them some unfrozen water and a little feed thrown on the ground. Have had them for years some did get sniped by a fox though but that’s country life ain’t it.
@CincyShadow Property taxes take away property ownership rights away from the citizens. PERIOD. Raise taxes by other means and keep gov the smallest possible
