Yup. Those delivery apps pulled an Uber where for a few years delivery was as cheap or maybe even cheaper than going to the restaurant. Now that bill is coming true.Whenever the receipts are posted, it's always because they're doing something like delivery.
Hit Costco today, almost a month since I'd been. My line was about as short as it gets, had to wait not 30 seconds for my cashier.I use them a lot for gas since they're cheaper than the ice houses around me. Also in the summer I practically live off their food court loss leaders like $1.50 hot dogs and $2 slices of pizza when it's too hot to cook in my house. If it's 107 last thing I want to do in turn on my oven when my ACs are having trouble even bringing the indoor temp to 80. Getting a meal for less than $4 at Costco vs spending over $11 at Whataburger adds up pretty quickly.
They're ordering fast food from DoorDash with its markup, then blaming Joe Biden.
The thing about a lot of these economic surveys or polls is that many people (esp middle class R voters) are saying their household finances are fine/stable/good, but the national economy is in the dumps. And they "trust" Trump will do better.
I thought the speech was good as well, also speaker kept grimacing and under table clapping and I also noticed he nodded up and down instead of side to side ALOT more often. I think he didn't realize his body language was giving away alot. Definitely doesn't have a poker face.Looks like we got the Dark Brandon I was hoping for. Great speech Joe, one of your best I'd say in fact. I only have minor quibbles, and some of it wasn't your fault. He dropped facts on people and all Team Treason did was try to blame him for greedflation and their own obstruction of legislation. Just pathetic. Not surprised by the heckling, the repugs are classless pieces of shit let's remember. People need to start tossing cubes of sugar at MTG when she does that, someone should probably halter her too, get a bit in there.
GQP response was hilarious actually, I give it 3/5 Lady Gs.
I swear, I will never get tired of repugs, who tell their own voters to get fucked over overwhelmingly supported Medicaid or abortion rights initiatives, try to say it's Joe Biden who is out of touch with Americans. That's the kind of laughter I need periodically.
November is going to be brutal.

Marching out, pushing my cart, the line for their fast food court was, I swear, 30 yards long. Never seen it like that. It was 2:30PM, Richmond, CA.
Speaking of Costco and food, I just ate a bowl of baby Bok Choy and Shitake mushrooms I bought there and cooked in Oyster Sauce, chicken bone broth, and sesame oil. It was fun I guess but not really so cheap. Pun intended.You nailed it..
I actually got a Big Mac for $2 with coupon in NEW YORK earlier today.
And most of the time I'm very happy with my $1 Kraft Mac& Cheese though I've got a guilty pleasure of throwing in 4 cheese single slices so I guess it's about $2 per box.

I always go in the cash line. Not only a much shorter line but you also get your food immediately unless you order a full pizza.Hit Costco today, almost a month since I'd been. My line was about as short as it gets, had to wait not 30 seconds for my cashier.

I would challenge that a little bit as an owner of two Civics that went to ~200k miles and 170k miles in lake effect snow areas of Michigan and other winters in Penn. If you're in a suburban to urban area (which I would assume given said job) a standard sedan with FWD will do just fine with appropriate tires in all the scenarios you should be on the road. (Exceptions available for those in really mountainous areas like the rockies or Alaska)Like a car of almost any kind, I'm not in a position to slap $4k on CC nor do I have that in cash. I could probably swing the monthly payments if my bank would actually finance that low of a loan (not sure if they do?) but that $4k civic inevitably comes with another $2-3k of bills for when shit starts breaking (citation, my current 07 tundra).
All of that of course is aside from the fact if I actually needed to buy a vehicle it'd need to be one that could handle the winters, so probably 4wd something which already throws you above 10k unless you fly to AZ or something to buy one.
COL is based on median house prices. Humans can live in a tent or mud hut without any utilities, so by your definition it's all quality of life.Again, a lot of those houses still exist but cost 10-20x as much. And again, that is QOL not COL.
And this was what I was referring to before Dank69 decided to become the tone police. Both sides are yelling past each other. The left should be happy that minimum wages are going up but should be mad that real wage adjusted income has stagnated overall since the 70s. The right wants to be mad because that is what they do.

Very true. I forgot I live in Blue State. Good pointSome state minimum wages are going up...but the federal minimum wage hasn't moved since 2009...and there's a shit ton of states...mostly red...that use that standard for workers.
We have air conditioning now, so suck it up buttercups.COL is based on median house prices. Humans can live in a tent or mud hut without any utilities, so by your definition it's all quality of life.
One of the posters here is complaining about AC, almost no one in 1950 had home AC, now people in large parts of the country consider that a necessity.
Seems about right to me.I endorse that.
I don't disagree entirely with you, but I'm rural. I couldn't get out of my driveway without 4wd most of the winter (this winter being an exception) unless I spent a lot of time ruining my yard by salting the shit out of the front of my house.I would challenge that a little bit as an owner of two Civics that went to ~200k miles and 170k miles in lake effect snow areas of Michigan and other winters in Penn.

Plus those are pretty cheap to fix. It was $40 for a new cluster from a You-pull-it junk yard and approx 4 screws to deal with. Tires reasonable given the size of the diameter. Cheap brakes and rotors etc
But can it be fixed from a revenge tour if he were to cheat his way into power?Seems about right to me.
In my life, it seems like the American people elect the Democrats to fix things...like the economy. Then, once things are going well, aRepublican comes along, says tbe right things to get elected...things go to shit again...then in 4 or 8 years, the people wlect a Democrat to fix things...and the cycle repeats itself.
I would love to see a black woman's version of this. Keep the satire coming.Here you go:
Maybe Joe should use this attack to break out his legal team. Is this actionable or is it Fox News’s 1A right to say on the air Biden is on performance enhancing drugs?Yep. sleepy Joe was too energetic and animated. He MUST be on drugs!
I’ve seen quite a bit of that this morning.
I hear you. That why I have a 35 page thread attempting to debunk the existence of CRT in schools. The entire accusation was bullshit. It why did the claim stick so well? Glen Younylon got elected on it.lol, sure boss. I am not angry just exhausted with the illogical nonsense being spewed. Not sure why trumpies can be “angry” but us normals have to be polite and not push back. Stop spouting lies and nonsense and I won’t have need to be exasperated. Seven years of this crap is done.
If it's super hot (San Antonio!), go for the Instant Pot culture. There's a thread here, there seems to be infinite IP culture online. I suppose my 6 qt. standard IP does give off some heat, no doubt, but it's far less than anything coming from my gas stove. A default IP setting is Keep Warm, but I always turn that off when I program my IP. I can come back to it hours after END appears on the display and the contents are close to room temperature. Virtually sterile too, they keep very well in the fridge. Leftovers are a big part of my cooking style. I have cooked rice, beans, other things, routinely in my fridge.That shit is horrible for you though. Seriously, can't you buy a big package of boneless skinless chicken breasts and some seasoning and rice and veggies fresh and make meals for yourself? I guess you are saving money because you'll die 5 years sooner eating like that lol. No offense personally.
I do not watch Fox News (I don't have access, but probably wouldn't watch it if I did). Even so, I figure accusations of drug use is a can of worms to be complaining about for Dems. Just a thought. AFAIK, they've got nothin' on Joe for this other than OMG he didn't look sleepy to me, maybe be on drugs...Maybe Joe should use this attack to break out his legal team. Is this actionable or is it Fox News’s 1A right to say on the air Biden is on performance enhancing drugs?
Maybe Biden should give Fox a shot across the bow
