And in some cases people make an effort to support small businesses instead of big ones-and that's a habit that can continue long after the day in question. If you took the time to walk you won't forget the fellowship you felt during the walkout and you'll resist the nonsense bots that are permeating social media. 1 Quote
LaceyLou Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago 29 minutes ago, Sports_Freak said: The problem is an economic issue. Small businesses can't compete with the big box stores or with on-line retailers like Amazon. Most people won't pay $30 for an item at a local store if they can get the exact same item for $17 from Amazon. I can't blame people for trying to save money, it's sometimes a matter of either going without or paying less. That's a situation I understand all too well, and I suspect more people go through this than not. For me, I've found that Amazon wasn't saving me money in the long run-and I didn't order enough or watch enough to justify Amazon Prime. And I'm lucky to live in a place with a lot of good, affordable alternatives. We can only do what we can-even if for some it's literally helping instead of hurting someone. 2 Quote
CMRivdogs Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Great review.. Meanwhile noted film producer Jon Cryer is boasting the first week will gross $8 Million Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago I'm so ****ing disgusted and appalled that this man is my President. Whatever gets posted here today, it surely won't trump the alleged rape of a child. This is of course only an allegation, not a charge or a conviction. But it's so ****ing disturbing. Quote
Edman85 Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago The charge against Lemon is so frivolous and ironic. Quote

And you talking about the actor from John Hughes movies? That Jon Cryer? He's a Trumper? Edited 12 hours ago by Motor City Sonics Quote
Screwball Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago I only want to say this, and I will say no more. I don't know how much of this stuff is true, and nothing would surprise me. I have read about this Epstein stuff for years, for the record. If this takes down Trump, and if he is guilty, I hope it does. But don't stop there. There are a whole bunch of other sick ****s who were also a part of all this. They ALL need to pay the price. Nothing less is acceptable. I have a daughter. Nuff said. And probably better off not said. 1 Quote

The rich and poweful can get away with anything. Quote

The thing is though, as much as the people one the one side would currently like it to be true, I'm afraid it is not true that the rich bad boy's club breaks particularly on political ideological grounds, which is why as much as each side talks about the other, they never quite actually get all the way to dropping the hammer.

He gets to stay because he was born here. Lucky for them, they were sent to Canada instead of Haiti. I don't know the details. Quote
Tigermojo Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago (edited) Every new thing that pops up is like another domino to the end of democracy. Not just the USA, they are coming for the whole world. They don't care about billions and trillions. They want complete control and forced devotion just like North Korea. It's not just Trump, it's his filthy rich backers too. Maga thinks it won't affect them, but they will have chains around there necks just like everyone else. Edited 12 hours ago by Tigermojo Quote

For close on 35yrs we've basically forgotten to take care of all the things that make a society work - education, fairness, citizenship, equity, truth. So here we are. 1 Quote
