Not to mention that these managers had time to do this in the first place, which indicates to me that those managers are doing a whole boatload of nothing.

But this assumes that people in survival or emergency situations are only going to look for themselves. In fact, in almost every emergency situation where there’s been a breakdown of emergency infrastructure, the exact opposite happens - it just doesn’t get reported on by the big outlets.
After Katrina, for instance, you heard “oh there was a huge rape and murder pit in the Superdome” on several news outlets. The Superdome was actually used by survivors as an ad-hoc camp, and the only armed people there were making sure people DIDN’T get hurt like that. People with boats went on sorties into the flooded city to get people back to the Superdome, where they had food and cots and medical care. The only real “looting” was for medical supplies, food, and things to help people SURVIVE, not luxury goods, and many tried not to scavenge in areas or businesses that couldn’t take it - Walmart could deal with a couple dozen missing sleeping bags, small businesses in the area would definitely miss that medication though.
It turns out humanity, in an emergency situation, left to their own devices, GENERALLY will choose to help other people first rather than hurting them. Research has shown that this will to help is fairly deep-seated in most people, and it tends to fall apart when societal pressure is reapplied - in the case of Katrina, that camp fell apart pretty soon after the National Guard and police started shooting anyone who was “looting”, no matter what they were taking.
Nah, he and the Duma have stated their victory conditions: total control over Ukraine AND the destruction of Ukrainian national identity. He doesn’t want Ukraine thinking of itself as a sovereign nation, only a Russian state.
Tesla might get in some serious trouble in Germany for allegedly doing this to sick employees.
I did this once to my store manager. Dude wanted me IN, no matter how much I told him I’d been throwing up all morning. I managed to drive the 15 minutes into work…and promptly threw up all over his shoes when he started trying to yell at me on the sales floor.
Never had anyone doubt that I was sick again at that job.
Especially this. Giving children the language and tools to communicate about sex effectively has been shown to help curb sexual abuse.
They also own CareMark, which is a pharmacy middleman…so CVS owns Aetna who covers you, then Aetna pays CVS for your prescriptions, then CVS pays CareMark for the pills (I think I have the order right there). Somehow, this is legal and totally cool despite the money never leaving the CVS ecosystem at all.
Giant Meteor DOES solve the global climate change issue really easily.
The dragons are oligarchs.
A lot of these fucks like adoption, only because kids who’ve been bounced from foster to foster are way easier to indoctrinate into things. Just need to show them some attention.
And threatened to kill a pair of cops who said they wished they could do shit like he did, very directly.
They WANT a shutdown, because then they can scream about how BIDEN ALLOWED THE GOVERNMENT TO SHUT DOWN!!! The mistake of many people lies in assuming that the GOP, and Trump’s campaign in particular, hinges on or really cares about truth.
Considering the Klan is recruiting there now…
Oh hey, I liked him as Captain Saru. /s
That’s the thing about martyrs - nobody NEEDS to fill his shoes. They just need to claim to be “carrying on his legacy” and constantly refer back to him, and that’s good enough for a large portion of the cult.
We’ve seen this exact thing happen with a lot of cults that have gone mainstream - it happened with Mormonism, and it happened with Scientology.
Additionally, with the firepower at just the US’ disposal, we could level almost every major pop center in Russia. Waves of Tomahawks, ICBMs and bombers could do it without the US putting boots on the ground. We nearly did this with Baghdad back in 02.
Oh definitely. Dude thought “wow this is my chance to be a hero”, I’m sure.
Yup, this is a pretty well-known tactic, sadly. It’s effectively just paper terrorism - instead of doing the harder work of getting people incited to ACTUALLY kill people or do violence, you get them to do minor shit instead; bomb threats, assaults, etc, and use that as a smokescreen for the people who were already planning to do violence to go do violence effectively unchallenged.
Exactly this. Kamala Harris didn’t necessarily WIN, so much as Donald Trump wadded the whole debate up and threw it in the fireplace. She made some arguably-innocuous jabs and Trump got INCREDIBLY bent out of shape about it, and looked incredibly unprofessional and non-presidential yelling about how immigrants were eating dogs and Democrats were executing babies in the ER.
To quote (likely) John Swift, a lie can be halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.
