00:08 IsambardPrince; JWZ is disappointed that there are no "grants" for energy efficiency for his business. Yes, other people should pay for your business.

00:09 IsambardPrince; That's the attitude that led his business to nearly file bankruptcy due to the Alcohol Board in San Francisco using COVID tyranny to shut down all businesses.

00:09 IsambardPrince; Of course he went along with the nonsense including the vaccines.

00:10 IsambardPrince; It must be nice to be able to shut down a gigantic business you still have to pay rent and utilities and insurance on indefinitely and not worry about losing it.

00:11 IsambardPrince; Someone on the LSC subreddit said all small towns force out the good and keep the crap and that's why they're afffordable, and the small towns attract prisons.

00:11 IsambardPrince; The prisoners are largely the refuse from the Democrat cities.

00:11 IsambardPrince; For when the illegals and the welfare suckers finally get so outrageous they have to be warehoused, and the cities don't want a prison near them full of their own shit.

00:13 IsambardPrince; Progressives encourage people to take money out of systems they didn't pay into and then they act shocked when that translates to the next logical point of armed robbery.

00:16 lightbringer; if his business was energy efficient, that would reduce costs, so no "grants" are necessary

03:38 schestowitz[TR2]; checking

03:39 schestowitz[TR2]; he talks BS tbh

03:40 IsambardPrince; I like him though.

03:40 schestowitz[TR2]; not insightful

03:40 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe funny

03:40 schestowitz[TR2]; but bad logic

03:40 IsambardPrince; Eh, he had the trannies all up in a stir about a Netflix thing again.

03:40 schestowitz[TR2]; "let's support the people who obviously hate me"

03:40 IsambardPrince; I wonder how many trannies subscribe to Netflix while they keep hosting things like this.

03:40 schestowitz[TR2]; the others "just prerend"

03:40 IsambardPrince; Comedians making tranny jokes.

03:41 schestowitz[TR2]; they will cancel monty python eventually

03:41 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe they will say it makes them "look bad"

03:41 schestowitz[TR2]; until all gendered stuff gets canceled

03:41 IsambardPrince; You couldn't do Monty Python today. So many problems.

03:41 schestowitz[TR2]; and nobody can be offended anymore

03:41 IsambardPrince; For starters, pissing off Catholics.

03:42 TR News; DistroTube hardly active anymore, barely 2 videos a week. Maybe he recognises YouTube for what it is (and always was). https://www.youtube.com/@DistroTube/videos

03:43 IsambardPrince; Speaking of which, I just requested my ballot for the election.

03:43 schestowitz[TR2]; despire covid?

03:43 schestowitz[TR2]; ;p

03:43 IsambardPrince; It's not going to make any difference but I'll vote for Kamala Harris. I don't really like her but Trump and Vance scare me more.

03:44 IsambardPrince; Vance says that people with kids should get an extra vote for every kid they have.

03:44 schestowitz[TR2]; Harris is RELATIVELY OK

03:44 IsambardPrince; Like, is he going to make exceptions for the ones on welfare that just keep popping them out while other people have to pay for it.

03:44 IsambardPrince; Because their dad is a keyboard warrier in the anime chatroom instead of paying support?

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; ag

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; ah

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; also trolls techrights network

03:45 IsambardPrince; What he's saying is take away voting power from more educated people.

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; with sockpuppets

03:45 IsambardPrince; And give it to criminals and degenerates and welfare suckers.

03:45 IsambardPrince; Who just think they're entitled to everything.

03:45 IsambardPrince; *warrior

03:46 IsambardPrince; There's a lot I don't like.

03:46 IsambardPrince; Because welfare moochers and criminals have a lot of babies and they're stupid.

03:46 IsambardPrince; Some are Democrats and some are Republicans.

03:47 IsambardPrince; They either feel they're entitled because they were too dumb to earn a decent life or at least try to have some damned class and the Democrats promised to steal from others.

03:47 IsambardPrince; Or they live off the system and the Republicans don't mind it because it means more dumb people voting for them later.

03:47 IsambardPrince; But in any event, the more kids you have, it's a sign of being in poverty and really low IQ.

03:48 IsambardPrince; It's a proxy.

03:48 IsambardPrince; And left wing, right wing, it doesn't matter. This just means that people who take more than they give and don't work for their living get more votes.

03:48 IsambardPrince; It's a disaster.

03:48 IsambardPrince; It shows that Vance ought to be dropped in the middle of the ocean so he'll stop talking.

03:50 IsambardPrince; And whether it was iran or not who leaked the 271 pages from the Trump campaign about Vance and his liabilities.

03:50 IsambardPrince; I mean holy fuck.

03:50 IsambardPrince; 271 pages of liability and they chose him anyway?

03:51 IsambardPrince; I don't think anyoe is ever going to dig up 271 pages of dirt and scandles on Tim Walz. I mean that's the bar for winning now. Don't make the campaign go run the local Kinkos out of paper and ink on your liabilities.

03:51 IsambardPrince; What is this guy? A serial killer?

03:51 IsambardPrince; 271 PAGES?

04:36 IsambardPrince; "Why Starbucks Is Struggling

04:36 IsambardPrince; "

04:37 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], They used to call them Five Bucks as a joke.

04:37 IsambardPrince; Now it's like Seven Bucks.

04:37 IsambardPrince; For a goddamn cup of coffee.

04:37 IsambardPrince; $7 you can buy a whole stinking can of coffee.

04:38 IsambardPrince; Even with the shrinkflation at the grocery store you still won't pay anything near what Starbucks costs.

04:38 IsambardPrince; Dear lord.

04:38 IsambardPrince; There's people that pay for this shit and then call Dave Ramsey wondering why they have $36,000 in debt and $6,000 of it is credit cards and they make $70,000 a year.

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; last week i ordered coffee

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; they served it in carton

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; regular

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; which means small

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; not medium

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; regular is small

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; 3 pounds 60

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; almost 5 pounds

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; for a small latte

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; in a carton

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; i can buy a kilo of decent coffee for this price

04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; blends of coffee

04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; they also charge another hall a pound for a little syrup now

04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; for that price you can buy a whole syrup

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; what do they figure they're selling?

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; chardonnay?

04:41 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], I dialed it back down to Maxwell House in my latest bulk buy.

04:41 IsambardPrince; Maxwell House Silk Dark or something. I don't know.

04:41 IsambardPrince; It was $5 per can after a rebate.

04:41 IsambardPrince; So whatever it is, that's what we're having.

04:42 IsambardPrince; The landlord stealing all our money. We have to stay within ourselves you know.

04:42 IsambardPrince; What CNBC doesn't state is that the consumer is pinched and it's because of layoffs and landlords.

04:42 IsambardPrince; The two Ls.

04:43 IsambardPrince; If Walmart and Starbucks want the consumer to come roaring back, they should spend some of their political corrruption budget going after my landlord.

04:45 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], I'm guessing that the landlord gave us 90 days when the law only says we are entitled to 60 days warning of a rent hike in a new lease because he wanted us to leave in an orderly fashion.

04:45 IsambardPrince; The evictions are starting to cost him some serious money when he blindsides people regarding these things.

04:48 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], Starbucks complained in the earnings report that people are fleeing Starbucks to smaller independent coffee shops with more reasonable prices.

04:48 IsambardPrince; LOL

04:49 IsambardPrince; It says the price of a small latte at Starbucks went from $3.95 to $4.95 between 2020 and 2024.

04:49 IsambardPrince; That's a small.

04:50 IsambardPrince; They said that was for the Chicago area.

04:50 IsambardPrince; McDonalds went from $2.50 to $3.49.

04:50 IsambardPrince; Okay so Starbucks is up over 25%. McDonalds raised prices over 40%.

04:51 IsambardPrince; But McDonalds is still cheaper.

04:51 IsambardPrince; So they figure they can raise prices as long as they're not horrific and people will pay it because McDonalds is seen as the "recession alternative" to Starbucks.

04:51 IsambardPrince; Why that is? Well, people too stupid and lazy to flip a coffee maker on.

05:02 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], I'd like to offer some of my own perspective on that idiot on Reddit who said that small towns squeeze all the good people out into cities and leave all the "crap" behind. People who "get educated" leave so their neighbors won't "burn their house down".

05:02 IsambardPrince; I've never had anyone threaten to hurt me in small conservative towns. Not out of the blue.

05:03 IsambardPrince; In large Democrat cities I've been mugged, at gunpoint. It was the first and only time I've ever seen anyone point a gun at me.

05:03 IsambardPrince; Small towns that are conservative have a high rate of legal gun ownership, not savages and Reavers that go around mugging and raping people and carjacking them.

05:04 IsambardPrince; The savages, rapists, and carjackers are what tends to accumulate in large Democrat cities.

05:04 IsambardPrince; He says that small towns are cheap because the pay is lower.

05:04 IsambardPrince; It's not that much lower, and it's actually cheap because people who are fiscally conservative hold their local leaders accountable.

05:04 IsambardPrince; And nobody is going to tolerate a mayor like Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard.

05:04 IsambardPrince; Who has turned the city budget into her own private welfare dole.

05:05 IsambardPrince; Paying police overtime so she can have 24 hour bodyguards while she does things like use the city credit cards for $40,000 of personal Amazon shopping in a single day and making "business trips" to luxury hotels, having flown first class, paying for it with city credit cards.

05:06 IsambardPrince; Nobody in a small conservative town is going to let a person like Henyard take over.

05:06 IsambardPrince; As to burning people's house down, that's not really much of a thing in small conservative towns, however arson is big in Chicago.

05:06 IsambardPrince; I saw a man pour gasoline on himself and light himself on fire on the L.

05:06 IsambardPrince; I saw a man take a screwdriver and stab an elderly man in the eye with it for no reason in Chicago.

05:07 IsambardPrince; On the news recently, they had to shut down the expressway because a homeless illegal Venezuelan immigrant in Chicago decided to torch a warehouse full of wood pallets.

05:07 IsambardPrince; There are drive by shootings in many of the neighborhoods, and those don't tend to happen in small towns.

05:08 IsambardPrince; The person on Reddit claimed that small conservative towns have "failed schools". The blue state I'm in has six times as many failed schools as it did when Pritzker was elected in 2018.

05:09 IsambardPrince; Failed meaning that not a single child in that public school under the Democrats can read, write, or do math at a basic level for the grade they're in.

05:09 IsambardPrince; And there's over 100 of them now.

05:10 IsambardPrince; Nevertheless, school spending has never been higher, because of all the unfunded teacher pensions. They have to pay a lot to the teachers. How else are we going to get illiterate rapists, arsonists, looters, murderers, carjackers, and drive-by shooters?

05:10 IsambardPrince; Good people don't move to big cities.

05:10 IsambardPrince; And while it's true they cost a lot to live in, that's because the voters are idiots who think that you can run unlimited taxation and spending programs. They can just pile up even if they don't work.

05:11 IsambardPrince; Put the city in so much debt it couldn't pay it off for 1,000 years.

05:11 IsambardPrince; The people who live in large cities and call themselves progressive tend to be horrible monsters, or at least the enablers of horrible monsters.

05:13 IsambardPrince; As you can imagine, Fox News is having a field day with the Henyard Debacle.

05:13 IsambardPrince; They have a black woman as a city mayor, charging up the town credit cards on her trips to Saks and Neiman Marcus, dressing herself in the finest fashions, and using the local police to beat up and harass her critics and hecklers.

05:14 IsambardPrince; It's so bad that they brought in former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfight and even she went "God damn!"

05:15 IsambardPrince; The "burning people's houses down" is a way of saying "they didn't use my preferred pronouns". That's really all they mean.

05:44 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], CVS closed one of the stores and now the other one has three people working in the pharmacy while the line wraps clear to the front of the store.

05:44 IsambardPrince; That's the last time I'm getting anything filled there.

05:47 IsambardPrince; They complain people buy generic drugs.

05:48 IsambardPrince; Well, it's the insurance plans that push you to do this.

05:48 IsambardPrince; Manufacturers don't necessarily cut the price of the brand name to compete when the patent expires.

05:48 IsambardPrince; So they just basically write that business off and I think that's pretty stupid.

05:50 IsambardPrince; I've been using Albertsons for pharmacy more often.

05:50 IsambardPrince; Especially on drugs that are not covered by insurance.

05:50 IsambardPrince; They are almost always 40% or even 90% cheaper than Walgreens if you have to pay for it yourself.

05:51 IsambardPrince; Walgreens has this idiotic plan where you can pay them to sign you up for a drug discount subscription.

05:51 IsambardPrince; So paying money to "save" and then it's still more expensive than going to Albertsons.

05:52 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], I will have four laptops soon.

05:52 IsambardPrince; I have three now and use all of them for something.
