Meanwhile… After being rebuffed by the UAW, Trump will be appearing at Drake Enterprises (a non-union auto parts manufacturer) tomorrow in Clinton Township, Michigan, in effort to, as Drake spokesman said, “expand name recognition for Drake Enterprises.”
The workers at Drake are not union members or on strike.
In case anyone didn't know, Staten Island is where the fascists like to live in New York; Trump won it almost 2-1 in 2020.
[Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella said] "I know there are folks out there who think, 'Well, New York City voted for a right to shelter.' Staten Island is different. Staten Island doesn't support these concepts."
At a panini shop a few blocks from the shelter, Peter Monte agrees. He says the new shelter worries him because it's "right behind the school and it shouldn't be behind the all-girls school."
Actually, according to police statistics, the rate of sex crimes in the area is unchanged in the month since the shelter opened. But Monte says he feels uncomfortable.
"You've got girls walking around, you know, in school. It's not right."
[We can't have these brown immigrants around our girls!]
Just a collection of horrible, racist people (well, about two thirds of them).
It could be that a lot of folks are on the fence. But yeah I'm generally feeling pretty pessimistic about humanity after watching half my country deny science up to the point they're gasping for air.
Good stuff in the UK the NHS is only offering Covid boosters to those in front-line medicine/caring and the over 65s. In that context 50% of the US population planning to get jabbed sounds (literally) quite healthy
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
It makes me upset when people forget what it means to be an American.
Considering most stores shut down due to excessive theft (and inaction of authorities), would this be any different than just opening another food bank?
I found the article to be written in an unnecessarily complicated way. Are you talking about the shrink number? I think most of us couldn’t care less about giant retailers losing profit, it’s the small businesses I’m concerned about.
Hopefully being a community thing and not a corporate thing will help. I think people will be less likely to steal, and more likely to rat someone out for stealing.
