This isn’t a small deal. Restaurant Depot is where most mom & pop restaurants go to buy inventory because Sysco is so expensive.
Restaurant Depot was privately owned. Sysco is owned by… you guessed it, BlackRock & Vanguard.
Now private equity can control pricing for food costs with zero competition. Just like they did with housing.
This should be an anti-trust violation, but we have politicians that work for Big Corp, not us.
🚨🚨🚨GO WILD AREA GLOBAL TICKET GIVEAWAY🚨🚨🚨
Okay, you all were quick with the first one. This one will be harder. Same rules apply:
I’ll be gifting a Pokémon GO Wild Area 2025 Global Ticket to whoever guesses all three of these thumbnail references correctly first.
To be eligible, follow my account, like, and retweet this post, and then comment down below which movie, TV show, or book the 3 thumbnails are referencing. Only ONE guess per person. I will respond to every guess with how many they got correct but not which ones until someone guesses all 3 correctly.
I have more thumbnails for the game as well so I will be giving away multiple tickets, even if you don’t get one through this contest.
If you win, you may also elect for me to gift it to a friend of yours if you already have a global ticket.
Shoutout to @thehurricanekaz for her amazing artwork!
Best of luck to everyone guessing!
Trump has done *a lot* of criminal, horrible, impeachable shit.
But, if the Trump administration fails to return Garcia, or if any harm has come to him, it will be hands down the most illegal and deplorable action of any US president.
Let's be clear:
-Garcia, while a minor, fled gang targeting in El Salvador and illegally entered the US.
-While here, he eventually married a US citizen, testified against the Barrio 18 gang (even though it risked him being deported) and attempted asylum claims.
-In 2019, he was granted a "Withholding of Removal" and a work permit and so was living in Maryland legally.
-Whenever you are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, whether legally or illegally, you have inalienable rights - the very ones the President's oath of office claims to uphold and defend.
-Garcia was arrested on suspicion of gang activity, and departed with foreign prisons in El Salvador.
The problem is:
-There was no proof given.
-He had a "Withholding of Removal" which meant he could not be deported.
-The government argued they were aware of this withholding order but that he had been departed "by mistake" without any further hearing in court.
Courts had ordered the planes turnaround, an order which according to a passenger affidavit the pilots were aware of, but they were given instructions to ignore.
A Maryland court ordered him returned by no later than April 7th.
The government failed to return him.
The Supreme Court reviewed the case on April 10th and unanimously ordered that the US government must facilitate Garcia's return.
Since then Trump's administration has continued to play games, making excuses of why he cannot be returned, or failing to give updates - with many speculating that Garcia, who testified against gangs he was now in prison with, may not even be alive any more.
At the direction of the President:
-People subject to US jurisdiction were rounded up and deported without time for habeas hearings.
-Including *legal* US residents, against a judges order, who are subject to all rights and protections within the United States.
-Instructions to return the plane were ignored.
-Instructions from a state court were ignored.
-Now the Supreme Court has been ignored.
And the President who is supposed to be the most powerful man in the world, who has a duty to defend and protect those subject to US jurisdiction from wrong-doing, claims that he can't get this man back from El Salvador.
If any harm has come to Garcia, it is blood on the President's hands.
The protections he has ignored would have led to the direct harm of a US resident.
And it will forever be a stain on America, this shameful president, and on the court of John Roberts who allowed for a tyrant to exercise such authorities so repeatedly unchecked.
USPS doesn’t “lose” money. It costs money. It’s a service that benefits everyone.
In a rational country, we wouldn’t even need to explain to grown adults how public services work, or why it’s a terrible idea to erode them.
My hot take is that Ch*tGPT is free right now because it needs you to feed it your stories, essays, and poems for free, and when it’s done taking all you have, they’ll put it all behind a paywall.
