Honestly, I blame Ophra Winfrey for propping up that quack TV host.
As an Asian American, I am truly sorry for that. I can’t personally speak well on the subject but I always encourage people to read this NPR article from 2017.
'Model Minority' Myth Again Used As A Racial Wedge Between Asians And Blacks
Remember, he said on national daytime television he would date Ivanka.
Just so people are aware, Starbucks was caught buying from farms in Brazil multiple times that used slave labor. In Guatemala, along with Nestle, were caught buying from farm(s?) that used child labor.
EDIT: On top of this the company partnered with Conservation International to certify the farms met the company’s standards. The incident in Brazil saw CI trying to coverup the certification of that farm. Also CI is involved with arms dealing.
EDIT 2: Their retail products have the claim “100% Ethically Sourced”. That is a lie.
EDIT: I got the slogan wrong. It is “Committed to 100% Ethical Coffee Sourcing”.
The guy saying it isn’t even American. Wtf?
He probably thinks he deserves it and never actually said he wanted any.
I like to point to Idiocracy (a movie you couldn’t make today but I saw for the first time in 2024; I think it was good) which Crocs are used as shoes for the future because they were not widely available and the costume designer said “There's no way people will wear them.”
I stand vindicated that Crocs are idiotic.
Didn’t Trump get famous for “firing” people on TV?
I fucking hate Blanco. I live in the county he is in. When the pandemic hit in 2020, he openly reported to the public that he would not enforce the health orders the county was issuing. On top of that he had many, many of his deputies die in the prison system due to COVID, plus the jail system in the county has been criticized for issues under his watch. Maybe worst of all, he was a member of Oath Keepers.
I fucking hate this dude. To make the matters worse again, back in March, the Riverside County Supervisors voted against separating the Sheriff’s Department from the Corner’s office. Apparently there have been a number of unexplained(?) deaths in the jail system that the department has not investigated after receiving complaints from families.
He is one of the worst people in elected office in Riverside County. Somehow people keep voting for him.
I don’t trust Boeing with airplanes anymore. What makes you think I trust them with spacecraft of any kind?
No shock here. A majority of the world is on a stance of “anything/anyone against the state of Israel is antisemitism”. This is such a false equivalency. Just because something/someone is against what the government of Israel, does not mean it/they are hateful towards the Jewish people. Hell, making such an equivalency is placing actually Jewish people in an unintended hate group.
The original said the code is compiling.
