Yup, they deliberately ran it into the ground. They took out loans against Kmart to buy Sears and sold Sears and Kmart properties off to give themselves money via stock buybacks.
And what’s worse, because it worked, you can see similar actions happening to other major retail outlets. Target, in particular, seems to be following directly in the footsteps of Kmart.
Agreed, very well done.
I lived above a pizza shop at one point. Was not an issue.
In my state (Idaho) it’s because a good number of the legislators are landlords.
They don’t give a fuck that half their apartments are Airbnbs, they prefer it that way.
The UN statistics on deaths in Gaza have not been updated in months. Do you know why? Because israel has killed everyone that can count the dead and israel is not counting the dead.
Israel does not have numbers on how many people they’ve killed because they frankly do not care.
To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.
And if you read any of the articles you actually posted, you know that there are a lot of problems with just verifying what the IDF claims as true. For example, Wissam Khazem’s death where the IDF quickly hid the body and hasn’t allowed any 3rd party verification.
Or the fact that in the very same article about Wissam Khazem’s death, it goes on to talk about how snipers killed elderly and disabled people in the region.
You see, Israel likes to play this neat trick where every person they kill is suddenly hamas. So, excuse me for not believing israelie intelligence sources when we have crystal clear evidence of them massacring civilians.
But again, are you going to answer my question. How many hostages are in the west bank?
I once saw a hamas at a wendy’s. I was so ascared that the hamas was going to get me. Then the hamas just told me to stop starring at them. When I ever so politely yelled at them for hamasing around me, they just kept saying “Fuck off, I’m Mexican”, which I think is a new hamas antisemitic slur.
You did not answer my questions.
But I’ll answer yours. Hamas is not in the west bank you dolt. There is no “pretending” about it. You actually have to be mentally ill to think that somehow “Hamas” has spread out of one of the most heavily guarded regions through Israel and into the next most heavily guarded regions, the west bank.
I guess if you’ve now taken israel’s definition of “hamas” which is all arabs, then yeah, hamas is literally everywhere in the region.
Now, explain why fighting “hamas” involves desecrating bodies and bulldozing homes? How is that counter terrorism? Oh wait, you don’t think arabs are human so I guess that makes it ok, right?
Cool… and how many hostages are in the west bank? What did the west bank do to justify this invasion? Yeah…
Looks like the bankruptcy was killed. But yeah, the NRA has been bleeding members and is spending it’s money on legal flights. They are in a pretty bad state
2A absolutism is a recent invention in modern politics started by the NRA. Restrictions on guns and gun ownership have been in the law books since pretty close to the founding.
There are already restrictions on who can own guns and what guns can be purchased by the public.
When I say 2A insanity, I’m talking about Republicans blocking all common sense gun legislation. I don’t think that will stay forever. I don’t believe a repeal of 2A needs to happen to make things significantly better. You could, for example, make it illegal to sell/own guns under 30. You could ban magazines. You could limit the caliber of bullets sold. You could make gun manufacturers civilly liable for the advertisements they put out.
Before even addressing if 2A is a good amendment (it isn’t) we can do all this
I sort of wonder how much longer 2A idiocy will last in the US. The NRA has gone bankrupt and since they aren’t able to funnel Russian money to politicians like they used to be able to, their influence is basically zero at this point.
With them out of the picture, there’s really not a powerful gun lobby getting right wing media to talk about Democrats as gun grabbers.
If you peruse conservative spaces like I do, you’ll notice that talking point has evaporated.
Israel and its supporters did a GREAT job of linking anti-israel sentiment to antisemitism. That alone made reporting of its messed up actions and history taboo. Certainly does not help that neonazis are also frequently anti-israel.
But… Shit… I mean Israel was founded on white jewish supremacy. Real hard to have a state founded on racial supremacy not turn into a fucking nightmare.
It’s ok, just think of all the 4 year old hamas terrorists they killed!
How many people will vote in a county is super predictable. There are only 2 reasons to run out of ballots
That’s it, that’s the end of the reasons. You can literally print the same number of ballots for the last similar election and you’d have a good chance of having enough at least for most of the voting with some good early indicators that you need more at the beginning of the election. To run out 2 hours into an election shows you didn’t even print as many ballots as you did for the last major election.
The math for how many ballots to print is “last similar election * (county growth percentage * last election turnout percentage) * 1.05”. That’s it. That will cover enough ballots for pretty much any election except for an extreme one where turnout is WAY higher than what could be predicted.
Yeah gotta be honest this is just what (competent) lawyers do. A major part of law school is teaching students to consume large amounts of legal documents.
usr does mean user. It was the place for user managed stuff originally. The home directory used to be a sub directory of the usr directory.
The meaning and purpose of unix directories has very organically evolved. Heck, it’s still evolving. For example, the new .config directory in the home directory.
Ad hominem: check.
Don’t expect any rational choices here.
Perhaps don’t cry about rationality if all you have in your brain is logical fallacies.
Here’s a quote from the site you cherry picked
Some people may choose to go vegan, for some it may be because they do not believe in farmed animal practices and animal exploitation, for others it may be due to environmental concerns. Whatever the reason The Vegan Society is here to support everyone on their vegan journey.
Gee, looks like the vegan society also recognizes some people become vegan because of climate change… Or maybe you are going to redefine more terms so you can win your argument.
Not really. It was ok but not great pizza.
