Andrew Tate: "Reading books is for losers...Books are a total waste of time."
Kanye West: "I am not a fan of books...I am a proud non-reader of books."
Clavicular: "I don't really read books...you could just get the information through summaries and articles."
Don't be like these guys.
Pick up a book today.
PM Carney: "It started quietly. People choosing a wine from the Okanagan over one from California -- anyone had any bourbon recently? No, I didn't think so. Sorry."
This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️
Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.
@jwalkermobile@winelib_jim Interesting, so even with the pristine provenance, I’m getting the standard retail market rate about then (I assume you’re on the winery list). So it’s not particularly valuable as a retailer it seems unless I’m collecting it (I might).
Crowdsourcing info from major wine collectors I follow on here (& please spread the word), now that I own a boutique wine shop, I get lot of offers from industry..so how much would you pay for a bottle of 2023 screaming eagle straight from the winery? @winelib_jim@jwalkermobile
@jwalkermobile@winelib_jim Oh interesting. My wholesaler who has the rights to screaming eagle and buys directly offered me a 3 pack for my customers for about 2100 a bottle
@teamhrc@AmauryCarrasco it’s been awhile but I figured a return to twitter is worth it to throw it out there now that I have my own place and start to get offers..thanks all!
new very small business owner here..On day 1 a local 'rep' from @TMobile@TMobileHelp basically scammed us to switch from comcast, promised us a rebate and credit that didn't exist or expired. now we're stuck with a phone and plan that's too pricey. atrocious business practices..
Cynics and defeatists share the same story as authoritarians do: that nothing is worth trying, the conclusion is foregone, hope is naïve, and attempts to resist are too small or futile.
Don’t listen to them. Do not give up. Try. A better world is possible. We will win. We must.
