I know a lot of places that do that. It is good business practice, kind of like comping the local mob boss’s meal. 

Like she deserved a pat on the back for it, too. Humblebrag. Jesus.

Hell hath no fury like a Karen mildly inconvenienced.

Thank you. This person is unfit for the job if their pressure limit is set to Average Service at a McDonalds.

Love that she snuck in there that she did the mobile order so other people wouldn’t “pay for her stuff.” You know you’re in a trod-upon profession when people are always offering to pay for your shit. 

Mayor Fischer is the Mayor. He is the duly elected executive of Louisville. Those cops are employees of the people of Louisville.

Market manipulation and price fixing are considered crimes all across the planet. It’s not “supply and demand” if you are artificially keeping supplies lower than they really are, in order to jack up prices.

They’re taking advantage of a global pandemic to gouge a couple bucks out of people who are just trying to bring themselves or their kids a little bit of fun distraction during an incredibly trying time. They are doing nothing that provides even minor benefit to anyone but themselves. Sounds pretty unscrupulous to me.

I seriously dislike when people try to justify scalping as “sUpPlY aNd DeMaNd”.

“Unscrupulous” is a matter of perspective. I don’t care to have the debate.

For this Mayor’s apology to have any meaning, it would have had to show all the characteristics parole boards use when letting criminals out of prison: acknowledgement of the crime and full acceptance of one’s part in it, remorse, commitment to non-reoffense and restitution. Where is that?

Did the Philly PD apologize? Did the pilot of the helicopter express remorse? The ones that ordered the bombing? No?

A true apology would involve a citizen’s only council formed by representatives of the Black/Brown neighborhoods that have been violated by the police for decades who will be able to publically punish those involved for their wrongdoing.

I spent many days playing in a construction site as a kid...Mira Mesa, San Diego, north of Leif Ericson Elementary (then North Mira Mesa Temporary Elementary School). Nobody ever got shot, nobody ever brandished a weapon.

This is a few days old now, but an attorney I used to work with who practices in Georgia now shared this Slate piece (which has legal analysis from a lawyer she knows professionally). It’s helpful to look at state law here so I will share this rather than my own opinion.

I mean, the case in which the Supreme Court said that the government could restrict conduct if the conduct was prohibited for reasons unrelated to overt religious discrimination was literally the first Supreme Court case to address the free exercise clause.

Fun fact: Lots of Palestinians can also be classified as Semites, which means all these Israeli hardliners (and most of the American Right) are literally engaging in anti-Semitic behaviour.

And notice that transmen are never part of the conversation? It’s always about that almighty penis.

“I don’t believe you can be a man born in a woman’s body or a woman born in a man’s body. What I believe is that there are some people who feel alienation towards their bodies,” Lewis stated, before raising concerns about trans children who want to transition.

It’s so hard to decide on which way to be insufferable on any given day.
