We need an anti-flock campaign. A city government didn’t give them permission to put their cameras up and when they did it anyway, the city covered them in garbage bags before they could get removed.

That was a wild amount of mental gymnastics to lick boot.

When the US still had conscription, they implemented college wavers so rich and middle class (largely white) kids could avoid serving in Vietnam and only poor kids and minorities had to do the fighting and dying. Now we have an all volunteer military but since we don’t have universal healthcare or higher ed, we force our poor to serve in the military if they want those things.

I think part of the problem with this style of show is that they’ll write a new menus or drink specials that doesn’t lean into the strengths (if any) of the staff or take into account what people in the local area like to eat/drink. They just do stuff that’s interesting for TV. Plus sometimes the work culture is the real culprit and you can almost never change that without mass firings and if the owners the problem…

Fucking cunts. Literally everyone knows that Israeli wouldn’t do shit with that aid except keep it or destroy it.

I do. It’s exactly the kind of attitude that lets Fascists take over countries. What we need are people to draw a line in the sand.

Man, I get that bro was scared but people fleeing the country is fairweather friend shit.

They sent ships to provide assistance or rescue if necessary, not to actually protect them from violence or abduction. Basically, they only promised to help someone if their ship sinks and the Italians only did that much to calm striking workers. All optics, no substance.

I don’t watch Kitchen Nightmares but I’m in the room from time to time when my dad watches Bar Rescue and and his whole schtick just comes across as really punchable

Considering how cheap life is in Russia, and how expensive recruitment bonuses are, I’m surprised they haven’t already switched to conscription which they have a long history of.

I’ve heard of plenty of cases were people (or their next of kin) didn’t get shit. I’ll grant that that was from the first 2 years of the war, maybe they got their act together.

Not that I would work at a kitchen as bad as the ones on TV but having worked in restaurants, I’m surprised these kitchen nightmare type shows don’t have the host get punched by the staff periodically. Line cooks can be salty.

I’m an American and both my parents are huge and in terrible health. Lugging hundreds of extra pounds (2.2 per Kilo) is hell on your body.

When I smoked, I lived in a house that the family owned and still never did it inside

But you absolutely can refuse to follow unlawful orders and these fucks got orders to deploy against Americans and opted to go along with it. That’s treason.

The only reason Illinois should deploy National Guard is to march these fucks out under threat of arrest

I’ve heard a heard a number of very fit veterans bemoan that jumping out of the back of the truck looks cool in your 20s but your body already hurts in your 30s

They have no choice about their lawful orders. These guardsmen were ordered to deploy against America and didn’t refuse. Maybe evil is a strong term but it sure sounds like Treason to me.

The guards job “in theory” is to help old people in hurricanes. It blew my mind at the time that National Guard units could be federalized and sent overseas. Wild that that is legal on any level. The whole point of the national guard is to defend the homeland and of course assist with natural disasters. That the President could strip the Homeland of it’s defenders to fight foreign wars was bonkers to me.

Weird as in historically obesity and wealth went hand in hand and not it’s flipped.
