And it’s not just losing money, of course. That’s the amount that people, largely wealthy people, will get to personally keep by not complying with tax laws. Gosh, could it possibly be on purpose? I wonder.

Tons of restaurants serve premade stuff from US Foods or Sysco. Lie about it, too. I worked at a BBQ restaurant whose secret sauce recipe was adding smoke flavoring and red wine vinegar to 5 gallon buckets of Cattlemen’s.

It’s really insane how some truly wealthy people waste everyone else’s money. Like, claw and fight to get more and screw everyone else over, then just waste their money on stuff like that. I know a guy who got very wealthy from starting a health insurance plan in the 80s (first PPO in a Midwest state). He owns this gigantic 20 million dollar house in the mountains in Colorado and is there for 2-3 weeks a year. Pays people to watch it, clean and maintain it. Such a stupid waste of resources.

What are “snowflake countries”?

Similar strategy to software companies, who buy upcoming competing companies and then kill the products.

Only if I have something else I need to do and/or someone rushing me. Otherwise I just chill out and observe things.

It might be where you live. When I visited So Cal for example, I was amazed to see Starbucks and McDonald’s and gas stations with super long lines… doesn’t happen at all in other places I have lived. Maybe short lines at a coffee shop at very busy times of day.

Another aspect is that businesses, for capitalism reasons, have majorly skimped on employees in the last few years. They’re trying to get away with the least staff possible purely for profitability. It’s pretty vile… customers get worse service, employees get burnt out, and execs and owners just don’t care because they feel like people don’t have a choice. McDonald’s, for instance, operates with far fewer staff at once than they did 20-30 years ago.

No idea why, but earlier the links looked like box outlines with a question mark in the middle.

The names come up as dead images for me.

The middle one looked floaty to me

I like this one. Cute

 

I am not sure what happened to my underwear but it seems like the count is dwindling. Also a couple got worn out and had rips and I tossed them. Finally, I decided to order some online. One package got here a couple days ago (I misplaced it at first and just found it) and another is getting here on Friday of this week. Colors are navy blue and slate gray for the most part.

 

I often feel tired and the sleepy around 2-4 pm and I’ll take a nap. They’re usually an hour or two long.

 
 

Haven't opened them yet.
