Now you’re bending my brain. Was Carlin’s stance something like, “They keep encouraging everyone to vote, but voting doesn’t matter because everything’s rigged!” ?

But wealthy people never spend their money. They find ways to exploit human capital in order to manipulate other people into buying everything he wants.

I don’t doubt it, but who pays them? Trump is too much of a cheapskate for that.

Wage slave.

Bear in mind this man is toying with the idea of running for president in 2028, and he would treat USA citizens the way he’s been treating his Amazon employees. DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN.

Now that reminds me of Fuddruckers (does that restaurant still exist?) and I nominate FUSTERCLUCK as name of a new family-friendly, sit-down, FRIED CHICKEN restaurant. 🐔 🍗

Ok thanks for explaining. But to be clear, you did say their credit card policy was something they got away with just like we get away with speeding in our cars, and speeding in cars is illegal & punishable by law. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But now you explained it was only against the terms of their credit card acceptance. They weren’t putting their business or liquor license at risk, only their ability to accept credit cards. 😄

Therefore that alcohol establishment was running the risk of being fined by the government for their illegal activity?

Sounds like you were acquainted with a lot of kind helpful people in the usa. My experience in the USA riding a bike & bus is that people made fun of me & relegated me to a lower social class. But nobody has ever offered a ride.

Why would there need to be a sound barrier between two things that are both noisy? The only unique thing here is the passenger train running right next to the freeway. But what’s the problem? And don’t tell me the problem is “noise.” Trains & cars are both noisy. If you want a sound barrier, put on noise-canceling headphones.

If imposing a minimum credit card purchase was not allowed, how could they impose a ten dollar minimum for credit card purchases??

Why do you save them if you’re just going to delete them?

Americans are accustomed to having access to worldwide cuisine options 24/7/365. She must’ve had a psychological breakdown finding herself in the middle of the Mediterranean sea with only Mediterranean food options 🤣 How out of touch must some one be to not only subconsciously feel troubled by something so insignificant, but then to set up her ring light & camera to consciously rant about it out loud & post it on YouTube 🤦🏼‍♀️

I don’t feel defensive, my brain is just freestyling, when I read something and I blurt out the stream of consciousness that occurs in my mind.

Good to know, but how exactly would someone accidentally get in a situation where a car is driving in their kitchen on the third floor of an apartment building? Edit: oh you mean even simply placing a disembodied tire onto the surface of grey laminate flooring will burn tire tread right into it? 🤔 How about putting something like a moving blanket onto the floor first, (update: I couldn’t finish writing my thought because my phone keyboard switched to Russian and wouldn’t let me switch back to English so I had to restart my phone. I’m back now. Keyboard back in english now thank goodness.)

Somehow my brain interpreted “fucking clusterfuck” as something related to fried chicken. My brain thought “cluck,” the sound a chicken makes. It is fun to live in my brain sometimes.

I apologize if you interpreted my comment in a way that upset you or hurt your feelings. Was not my intention.
