Biden / Harris Focused Discussion

[Edge-]

Did that actually ever happen? It generated a lot of noise for sure, but did it actually ever come back, even temporarily?

According to the McDonald's Fandom (why does this exist?) - https://mcdonalds.fandom.com/wiki/Szechuan_Sauce

Yes, briefly in 2017 (not really)/18.

McDonalds fandom. Sure. :|

I like that page though.

Some fans have predicted that the sauce will make a return when the new, live action Mulan movie hits theaters in 2020, but this seems unlikely since McDonald's promotional agreement with Disney ended in 2006, as Disney is concerned about childhood obesity[citation needed].

One Rick & Morty fan posted on Twitter, "This kind of marketing promotion is the reason Jerry is unemployed."

At one McDonalds restaurant in Los Angeles, a man was stabbed in the middle of a long line during the distribution of it.

Yes, Rick and Morty fandom are horrible people... they messed with McDonalds staff for weeks... saying this as a fan, who will never admit it in public.

People where I am were buying gas like crazy. I don’t think they realize that gas actually goes bad fairly quickly.

So stupid.

? un-treated gas can be stored for 3-6 months easy. With treatments it can be stored for even longer.

[SethRoguen]

Crazy part the media is not reporting is if you take out the Northeast/NY + West coast in those calculations they are making no where near 16 dollars an hour on unemployment.

Take Louisiana for instance
$10.00 an hour job = $ 232 a week unemployment + 300 dollar bonus = 532.

$10.00 an hour job = 400 dollars a week.

Are they really complaining about an extra 132 dollars for not working?
That's $3.30 an hour difference.

So that's 13.30 an hour not the 16+ republicans are crying about

How about those states taking it away?

SC = $185 + $300 = 485.00 or 12.125 an hour. Not the 16+ they are crying about.

Fast food workers in SC make an average of $9.23
https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_sc.htm


Montana = $192 + 300 = 492.00 = 12.30
Fast Food workers = $10.93

oh no can't bump people up to 12.30 an hour and give them decent benefits!!!

The balance of power shifted just a little bit and companies are freaking out. I love it

Biden's HUD head violated the Hatch Act when she took a stance in a political matchup.

Just because Trump did it all the time, doesn't make it okay.

while I agree in principal, but this is also a slap on wrist level of a gotcha question vs trump's using federal resources for politics hatch violations and other such level of violations practically weekly

A democrat appointee saying they think the democrat can win... is one of the most benign things I can think of.

If all a Republican appointee said was "I think the Republican has a good shot of winning" I don't think i'd whine....it's in fact expected

[Kryctos]

Maybe not quite on topic for the thread, but what exactly does Ted Cruz actually do? He doesn't seem to really do much of anything except... get caught trying to go on holiday while his constituents literally freeze and die.

He is a Dr Seuss fan since he once read green eggs and ham on the floor to prevent legislation from passing, he is also known for falling asleep or playing with his phone while on the job.

[Verdugo]

So, he's essentially some sad little dude who'd rather be sat at home on the sofa, falling asleep with his hand in a bowl of dry cereal he rests on his stomach that he'd been munching on while slouching toward the TV, while his beer spills from his other hand. But he takes that attitude to the office with him. Gotcha.

And people vote for this?

As long as its not "filthy commie" apparently.

I agree in letter and spirit. Still shouldn't be done, but yeah, this is pointing out jaywalking is a crime, even though there are thieves and murderers. Basically, if I didn't mention it, I'd be a hypocrite.

"We have no policy ideas other than transferring the nation's wealth to the richest and breaking democracy to ensure our minority rule in perpetuity, but the other guys are lib cucks!"

"Oh, true."

Crazy part is the nationals are going to raise their wages and benefits and the locals and regionals will have to come up with an new excuse why everyone is not applying for their jobs after the 300 stopped.

Walmart was getting hammered yesterday on their careers site, was looking for my daughter since she works for 13.00 at a local hardware store and Walmart is paying 15 -17 for cashiers and 17.50+ for overnight stocking.

2 people at work already asked for a raise based on amazon, walmart and target all paying a few dollars more starting this month.


The fact that there is a minimum wage and yet unemployment can in a lot of states pay under minimum wage is fucking insane.

How about this winner!

[Benggaul]

How about this winner!

C'mon, we all know the REAL reason for the gas shortage.



Fuckin' Brint.

lol well you can't fix stupid lol. Honestly whoever is letting that pump still run can get in trouble for that. Cashier should be shutting it down.

what I was saying is gas stored in a proper container can last 3-6 months without any kind of treatment (sta-bil) With treatment it can last 1-3 years.

If stations on the east coast are anything like Cali (not Oregon), they don't get paid anywhere near enough to monitor the use of all pumps at once and fight with angry, panicked, stupid, irrational customers. They're probably understaffed already and it's just one poor dude behind the counter. They should be, but practically they can't, and honestly if people want to risk their own health/vehicles because of their stupidity it's not worth the attendant risking fights by telling people to stop filling up their plastic fuckin bags.

yah there are pictures of people filling up 10-15-25 cans....huge industrial size containers....etc etc.

All things that are prohibited both at the company, station and state level depending on which and where.

no way would i get involved while making 8.75 an hour in those southern states.
let the pumps go dry then it will be a quite night at work for the rest of the evening

[jonnysensible]
