My experience is that there's always a hidden surcharge with DD or Uber eats. Like fries are $3 if you call it in yourself, but are $3.30 or something in an app. A couple years ago I had a $10 off $40 coupon and dash pass from my credit card. Total after fees for pickup was like $55 and just calling it in myself was $45.

Not saying it's impossible to save using them, but good luck.

My ad blocker stops all the ads except for the sponsorships that are in the video... Y'all watching YouTube without blockers?

We do, one side believes in freedom, equality, empathy and truth. The other side are shit flinging monkeys at this point.

What's sad is like half of the country is basically still asleep at the wheel and just voting for whatever party they've been voting for and are more informed about celebrities than the constitutional crisis occurring.

Anytime a person from a red state complains about California being communist, remind them their roads are paved with money from CA because their state collects welfare from the fed who collects it from Blue states

Let's just give them the capitalism they say they want. We're sending Red states a far larger amount of federal funds than they send in (I believe the stat is red states average $2 received for every dollar sent and it's like 70¢ for every dollar sent is returned to blue states.

Red states are literally welfare states. What happened to bootstraps there?

For 99% of owners a panel van would be the better option, but their masculinity is tied to other people's perception of them, so they pay the small dick tax.

It was really sad reading a post on Reddit yesterday where they were applauding the Republicans for moving $2 billion in benefits for veteran housing... How did they forget about the $22 billion that just got cut for veteran medical benefits?

I'm constantly reminded that Socrates was correct and that democracy has too many unqualified and uninformed voters and will give rise to demagogues.

Well how the fuck do we get this ball rolling? I'm ready and it feels like a load of others are ready to fix this too.

Yup, like almost every modern amenity is from socialism. All capitalism has done for me lately is... Umm... What the fuck has capitalism done for me lately?

Yup, that golden age when we came back from the depression was because of socialist policies FDR put in place and the rich immediately began to vilify (note these rich clowns caused the depression).

Socialism isn't a boogyman, it's the reason anything is working at all.

There's just more and more of this lately. We give money to the govt, they fork it over to some company, they use money to make a product I have to pay for, again.

Sorry that's just fucking dumb. Don't bail companies out or give huge grants, make them compete for contracts and have the people own a portion to reduce cost to the US consumer. It's socialism, sure. But at least we'd come out ahead instead of getting hosed again.

My only hope is that America slingshots back to Roosevelt era policies. Wild that this exact shit happened and what saved us? Oh social programs and high tax rates on the wealthy.
