If asked, I definitely would have gotten it right lol
What I meant to be commenting on, and I’m sorry this wasn’t clear, was that the news has been so focused on the campaign for so long, and for the past few days on Harris of course, that when I saw this headline, my immediate reaction was, “Why do we still care? He already withdrew.”
And then, instantly, “Oh, because he’s still the president. Right. Duh. Lmao,” which was what my comment was supposed to convey. Hopefully that makes sense now
According to the Urban Dictionary “coconut” is slang for a person who’s brown in the outside and white on the inside. Could this meme campaign be a preemptive attempt to shield against that slur? Real question.
It was around since before there was even a hint Biden was dropping out, and I’ve mostly heard it used in a complimentary, or at least lightly-ironic, manner, so I don’t think it was made for that purpose.
That doesn’t mean it can’t serve that purpose, though.
“Michelle Cox was in disbelief when a U.S. Department of Labor official told her earlier this year she was violating federal law by employing 14- and 15-year-olds past 7 p.m. on school nights.
Cox, the owner of a Subway franchise in Maquoketa, Iowa, knew the state legislature had made substantial changes to state labor laws in 2023 to allow younger teens to work later on weekdays.”
“She thinks the federal government is unfairly targeting Iowa, which she says was only trying to support small businesses”
Since when was subway a “small business”?
The whole point of the labour law is to get kids back home on time to where they can actively participate in school. There are plenty of parents out there who will force their kids to work as much as possible as soon as they can, and it is awful for their education.
The only people who have the audacity to claim this isn’t harmful to children are people who’ve never had to go to school and hold down a full time job. Fuck that lady, I hope the Fed takes all her shitty sandwiche money.
It’s a franchise. Subway owns the name and sets the menu/standards, then pays franchisees to start and run locations in exchange for a (huge) cut of the profits.
The way I see it, just because it is lawful doesn’t mean it’s right. That’s what you get for hiring children.
I’m a nurse and I signed a Do Not Resucitate order before 30 years old because it’s literally a fate worse than death. They’ll have 1 nurse for 32 or more patients and many if not most need to be turned side to side every two hours to prevent bedsores which are like the sores you get from new shoes but on your butt (and other places). During my nursing home clinical rotations I saw a bedsore you could fit your fist in and see bone at the bottom through the slough (that yellow gooey stuff that builds up in wounds). Many people need fed because they have weakness or paralysis in their arms but the CNAs have a dozen people to feed each shift and many of them need soft or liquid food so the CNA is just shoveling mush into barely conscious people so fast they choke and vomit then choke on the vomit then slowly die of pneumonia. They’re also rife with psych issues because that’s where people who have spent most of their life homeless with their originally mild mental illnesses steadily worsening over time wind up when they’re too sick to bounce between prison and the street anymore. And the nursing home staff are barely psych trained so when the patients become violent or even just verbally abusive they wind up responding in kind. Absolute shitholes that only exist to squeeze every drop out of an already scant medicaid check until the person finally manages to die.
I’m very curious how Harris will act now that she doesn’t need to secure the nomination. Here’s hoping it unleashes her better judgement to call things out.
Just wait for his Losartin and Lipitor to run out as society crumbles. Then fuckers like this would just keel over in this civil war they fantasize over.
What happened to white women? Well, she ran for office and you claimed she was unfit for office because women are emotionally unstable and something about emails that magically disappeared as soon as Ivanka got caught ACTUALLY deleting emails.
