“Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.“ The cereal that absolutely must appear in Fallout 5.

I think that’s the cereal that Calvin always ate on Saturday with his friend Hobbes while watching cartoons.

My family owned and ran a small market/party Store for 40 years. The most expensive square footage was in the coolers because the cost of keeping stuff cold was high. The average markup in the coolers was 20% while the markup on the few groceries we had on the shelves was 33%. From that “profit “ came the electricity, the heat/air conditioning, insurance and basic overhead came off the top then whatever was left was income. 3-5% . It’s not an easy way to live. For years there was a little living space in the back of the store. Eventually… Read more »

Somebody just needs to stand up and talk to this fraudster and say Zoran since you’re lying about this anyway and you don’t have any statistical reason for picking 30% nope nope backup why didn’t you pick 50 or 100 or 70 or 10 such as just a scam to get our attention away from how else you’re ruining the city and make us talk about this rather than everything else you’re doing to damage the place why do you fix such a stupid number just because you think people are stupid and going to believe it.

This is communism to the core, and its sole purpose is to enrich the entitled and to force all the serfs into equal poverty while establishing a two-tiered class system: 1) the pigs inside the farm house and 2) the rest of the barnyard animals fighting to survive in the squalor. Once such a class system exists it becomes very easy to control the masses.

What still surprises me is the fact that the majority NYC voting public chose this future.

My favorite parts are: The government chooses which food you need, which was deemed an unforgivable sin when proposed by RFK Jr about food stamps. You need a government ID to purchase, which has been screeched as racist by every democrat anti voter ID activist for decades. Its an amazing thing to witness.
