What do you notice about the shopping bag in the photo?
It has no handles.
That’s right, Albertson’s, with annual revenues of more than $83 billion, has decided to inconvenience its customers, forcing them to wrap both of their arms around their grocery bags to get them into and out of their shopping carts, into and out of their cars, and finally into their homes.
The savings? From what I can learn from AI, the answer is somewhere around $0.12 each. If you’re interested, you can Google: “cost per 1000000 paper grocery bags.”
I understand that grocery stores operate on low margins, but if it were my decision to make, I wouldn’t be deliberately pissing off my customers, many of them elderly, who are spending $100 for a bag of my groceries in order to save 12 cents.
Yet the Albertson’s example isn’t unique; in fact, it’s everywhere you go. Look at your cell phone bill and your streaming services. Corporate greed is grinding you into the pavement while it relished in your misery.
Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.
How much French do I know? Close to zero. I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’ Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.
This strikes me as pure MAGA racism. It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.
Will You Be Safer if Non-English-Speaking People Can’t Drive?
Today’s America admires the rich, and we have no problem if our leaders are sociopathic rapists.
The more damage they do to the common U.S. citizen, the more we love them.
All they really need to do in order to retain our adoration is to continue to punish people with brown skin and give tax breaks to billionaires.
Quality education, healthcare, protecting our environment, and affordability are all issues for woke communists and sissies.

Let’s not rush to judgement here.
OK, he’s an alcoholic Fox New host who’s led the U.S. military into a huge quagmire that, day by day, continues to destroy the U.S. and world economy.
My gardener is just as well qualified to lead the largest military in human history.
But Hegseth is 100% loyal to Trump. Nothing else matters.
