You mean there are people in the world who don’t have to repeatedly restart their phone and uninstall Words With Friends because there’s not sufficient space for the phone to function?

*sigh* What luxury.

Um. Yeah. I work directly with needy populations, and very few of them have smart phones, or data plans, or phones that work.

The fact that you believe that all poor people have smart phones because you’ve seen homeless people with them is pretty anecdotal.

As an aside, if you are homeless, a smart phone is one of the…

I’m sorry. I got the impression from some of your postings that you didn’t like bodegas because of the demographics of the people who ran them and the people who shopped in them. If I read you wrong, I apologize.

Bless your heart. You really are a clueless and xenophobic little thing. Aren’t yah?

I don’t. I had to buy one, because it was the only model that didn’t demand Trumpian sized fingers. But I had the cell phone tech dumb it down because I only use it to text my kids or in case I need to call 911 if something bad happens when I’m out on the street. I’ve pretty much re-imaged my cell phone as a pocket…

More than you are capable of imaging.

This is usually how it goes down.

My family and I are loving her new line. We all have drastically different shades ranging from extremely pale to very dark. We were like kids in a candy store over Fenty. Even if Rihanna wasn’t spending time in a lab, I do think she’s the brains behind the line and really wanted to offer everyone the chance to find a…

I saw this comment and then yours and had to rush over here. People are wild out here. Terrified of a corner store.

But this isn’t better than the original product. It is simply a more high tech vending machine that will offer 10% of the products a bodega has. And that’s a pretty generous percentage since it will more likely be 3-5%. So not only are you getting less of a selection but it will most likely come at a higher price.

The city’s permanent residents should really adjust to the needs of the casual, pants-pissing visitor.

I don’t have a problem with vending machines or having them in more places. My problem is more with this actual pitch for trying on purpose to get rid of bodegas and acting like their idea is this new amazing thing when really it’s something that’s always existed.

But in Japan they have vending machines for everything - and still have stores. I feel like the US as a whole is way behind on convenience.

My objection is not that they hired him back — it’s that they re-engaged him without owning up to it. People need jobs. Companies need workers. But their secretive use of him speaks to a desire to cover up for PR reasons, which is how their support of women is performative. “We are supportive of women...except that we…

CONGRATULATIONS, ASSHOLES, YOU INVENTED THE VENDING MACHINE.

You’re a weak person who should stay out of cities, then.

Most american businesses are now quasi-criminal enterprises with full legal priviledges. Our business community has devolved into basically being the mafia.

Texas’ rental laws are skewed heavily to favor landlords, which grants them wide discretionary powers to determine when to break leases and evict tenants—or whether to keep tenants in their potentially damaged units while still demanding rent.

My wife and I donated money last night to Habitat for Humanity, thinking that what was most devastating for the victims of these two hurricanes was the destruction and loss of their homes.
