I have a new job serving popcorn had to Minnesota movie theater.
I want to tell you the contrast of how different families live.
Well I was working, and Asian American family came in with five kids. They ordered a regular size popcorn for the entire family. The kids were asking the parents for pop but the parents were saying no, we already spent enough.
Shortly after, two Somali woman came in with a total of 20 children! Literally 20! They then bought each of those 20 kids their own combo pack which includes a popcorn and a soft drink. These combo packs cost $13 each!
If you add on the movie tickets, these women must have been spending more than $400 tonight!
Congrats on your new job! A thought: consider how much you make an hour working this job. Government's going to take 20%ish of it in your income bracket before you ever see it in your paycheck. How many hours would you have to work to buy one of those combos? Obviously, the mark-up on them is extortionate. That mark-up exists to pay your wage, not to buy the popcorn.
The Asian family buys one popcorn to share for their night out at the movies. That's what you do when the money has value. You know you had to work for it, so you weigh the costs accordingly.
The Somali family bought $400 of popcorn and soda for one movie. The money is meaningless to them. It has no value. There's no computation in their mind about how much work it takes to earn that money, because they didn't earn it. It was given to them. So, they spent it on a trivial luxury anyone could easily have done without. Why? Why not? There's plenty more where that came from and it takes no effort for them to get it.
Prosperity is built by people like yourself who do the work and provide real value to people. Even if you're absolutely disgusted by people who seemingly waste money, treat them with proper customer service because that's how you earn yours, and it reflects on your character. But don't be silent about injustice either. Just voice those concerns at an appropriate time to the people who can do something to fix it.
Best wishes, and Happy New Year!
Well said.
Excellent explanation of the difference in mindset. When you work so hard to do something and see someone else get handed the same thing, you just have to understand that you learned the real value of learning a skill, trade, craft, or whatever it is and the other person doesn't understand it. Although you may appear as equals to an outsider, you are truly above the other person in skill.
It’s great she’s spreading some of her fraud wealth back into the local community.
Oh, doug. You didn't!
WTF Doug! Please tell me your Retard Autistic kids or sarcasm is a bitch to translate via texting😐
I thought his sarcasm was pretty obvious.
Um, I think you'd have to be, er, 'retarded' not to recognize the extremely obvious sarcasm.
I mean, <facepalm>, WG1WG2.

WOW! Thanks for the great report YP! 👏
Couldn't have been daycare owners - they actually had kids, lmao.
But definitely welfare leeches. No normal American could afford all of that these days. Wow.
Where are you seeing racism?
Are you really gonna try to ride us for having an issue with Somalians?
We know we're getting fucked by Somalians. People are going to complain about it. No one said anything about you or black Americans.
At this point, using your definition, yeah. I'm over it.
I am reminded of the section of "1984" where the economic system is explained, roughly summarised:
The aim is to spend resources on anything that does not raise the general welfare of the people.
In 1984 they created weapons, and great machines of war, then destroyed them in counterfeit wars. Equally they could have manufactured good, piled them up, burned them.
We in the west, we have this new method. Import a whole community that does not blend and become the people, they are just an other-people. Then they can be lavished with generous payments, which they spend into the economy, leak abroad, or simply save into offshore accounts. Thus resources are spent and the typical tax payer gets nothing. The tax payer is poorer from paying the tax, but his general welfare is not raised. Bonus: he has people in his midst that he can be persuaded to feel negatively toward, lowering his "vibes" and keeping misery high. Bonus2: the sight of people who he knows by pure insight could never outperform him in toil are apparently well rewarded for their indolence - demoralisation is added into the mix.
The effect is to keep you poor, angry, sad, and hopelessly helpless to the point of suicidal epidemics.
It is an alternative to traditional war

Each one of those children is a future breeder. They are biological bio weapons being used for the genocide of the White Christian World.
Underrated throwback comment.

Good to know that anons are learning how these people operate.
So my four kids went to daycares while my wife and I worked, this was about 10 years ago. Once a month they had a movie day and all the kids would go to the movies with the teachers/workers. The kids would all get popcorn and drinks for the movie. It was included in the amount we paid for daycare and they didn't charge us any extra for it or anything. One year I went with them to the movie as a chaperone because I was off work and bored. The owner of the daycare told me they had a deal with the theater and got the snacks at cost but paid full price for tickets.
Stuff can be more complicated than just seeing people go to a movie and buying popcorn.
I took their order and payment for the popcorn myself!
I hope you guys have a tip Jar, AND profit sharing!
Sorry Bud but you ate totally wrong in your analysis.
Found the Somali
wtf, are you retarded?
it was a joke.. but yes I am full retard
What you probably saw were the 2 wives of the one man that got kid duty that day for all of the children of the husband. They might have had the youngest kids of the group or just might be on the low end of the totem pole in the wife hierarchy.
Why are we building up hate for Somali Americans? If they’ve committed fraud, arrest and charge them. If not, let them live their lives and don’t demonize them. Adults buying popcorn for children on a movie outing shouldn’t be fear mongered.
Young_Patriot, I'm hoping you work at one of the AMC theatres in Minneapolis. The share price could really benefit from popcorn sales like this.
I have the sense that Muslims need to destroy Christian culture in any way they can. My sense is that it's the work they feel called to do / their spiritual duty to their god Satan. If they can do so while making a profit that's all the better in their eyes.
Good for you learning life lessons.
Most do not.
