I just saw an article about a couple in Washington state who own a mechanic shop that bypassed diesel emissions systems on 375 customer's trucks. The increased emissions was the equivalent of adding 127,000 diesel trucks to the road and they made $500,000 in the process.

Their punishment for violating the Clean Air Act? A $20,000 fine and a few months of house arrest.

Damn, it's like talking to my mom

In bourgeoisie decadence, I simply light a fresh j and move on

Car prices went dummy thicc right around 2022 and haven't adjusted back and seems like they won't. But those 10 year old dodges and Nissans can't hold their value forever

Doesn't taste very good

Bet that hurt

On sale days, a 1g preroll is like $1.50. I can get high 3 times off that. Only lentils are a better value per dollar

I live near one of the "small format" stores that is closing, barely a year or two after opening (and a significant remodel). The "small format" stores suck. Lacking inventory, many items are locked behind cases, and there are more security guards than actual employees on the floor, so you spend a long time waiting for someone to unlock the item you need while being stared down by some goon in olive drab and body armor.

It sure feels a lot like they're blaming their bad business decisions on nebulous "criminal activity" that only happens to be in left-leaning towns, feeding directly into right-wing narratives. Identical to the CVS San Francisco stories from a few years ago

I hate it here

The smear playbook worked once, it'll work again

The Disney-Netflix merger is going to singlehandedly save the western economy for a year or two

For real. I was raised on slop, now that I'm a vegetarian, it doesn't mean I don't like the foods I grew up eating.

I guess the point is that we don't need to rely on expensive substitutes made by the same corps that own slaughterhouses to make tasty, nutritious vegan food

I won't sit back and allow this slander of my second favorite legume paste. The blame rests solely on the shoulders of the PMC agribusiness lawyers who spent a decade arguing that they should be allowed to include more bugs in our slop
