Grocery stores are labor-intensive activities.

Lessee, penciling some numbers on a napkin here, and based off of public information/union contacts available to search online ...

Average grocery store employees ~40. Blue state shithole, less motivated/efficient, +10. Gov't bureaucracy +10. Blue state shithole city, security personnel +8. Store managers +1. Asst store managers +6. Gov't political donor 'plum' (no-show) jobs +5. Public Food Director +1. Public Food Dep Director +2.

Annual Wages

  • Gov't: (8)... $1,411k
  • Mgmt (7)....$...654k
  • Staff: (68).. $3,740k
  • Total:..........$5.8 million

$5.8 million. $5.8 MILLION ... and that doesn't include the additional 6-8% for overtime, holiday pay, night pay, weekend pay, union training day pay, etc. Just to 'provide' a grocery store to 200-300 local residents who appreciated the last one SO much, they stole it blind and/or burned it down.


Open question to Chicongo taxpayers (the ones who haven't left yet):

Is this how you wanted (or expected) your tax dollars to be used?


Napkin Notes:

  • 8 = 1 + 2 + 5 (Dir/DD/no shows)
  • 7 = 1 + 6 (mgt/asst mgr)
  • 68 = 40 + 10 +10 + 8 (emp/less eff/bureaucracy/security)
  • 83 direct charge store employees
  • Gov't Dir $135k +68% gov't benefit pkg $227k annual.
  • Gov't DDir $102k +68% gov't benefit pkg $172k annual.
  • "Plum' jobs $100k +68% gov't benefit pkg $168k annual.
  • Store manager $101k +68% gov't benefit pkg $170k annual.
  • Asst manager wages $48k + 68% gov't benefit pkg $81k annual.
  • Store employee wages (union-average) $16. + 68% gov't benefit pkg $27/hr. x2000hr/annual = 55k (rounded up)

Why wouldn't he do this?

If election integrity ever comes to the GA election process, he'll be out of a job. He's merely using the tools he has to ensure no one successfully interferes.

dems have been transferring US tech to the enemy since the '40s. They just look to do it in a way that won't blow back on them during election season.

Clinton sent china a modern spyplane. I grew up on base with guys stationed and assigned on the RC's. The moment the chink clipped the wing, that plane was supposed to turn around and head back, and if it couldn't, it was supposed to fly as far as it could towards the nearest friendly air base, and ditch as far away from the chinese coast as easonably possible under the circumstances. Regardless of where it ended up, there is a specific protocol for destroying all the equipment in the plane to prevent capture. Which every aircrew is trained on. Which wasn't done. Which means this crew was specifically selected before the flight, to get forced down, to not follow protocol, and allow the chinks to analyze every nut and bolt, before they returned the plane. In little boxes. No telling what he did with the laundered 100k campaign contribution afterwards ...

Osama didn't have the luxury of a regional conflict or international incident to hide the tech transfer. He had to use the spy game to make good on his paid obligation. That's the only difference.

Of course he did.

It's not like he had a regional 'incident' he could 'accidently lose' intact American tech ...

Its really going to slow down the shopping experience, taking a photo of the price as you grab each item, then standing in line confirming it's still the same price, or demanding they remove it before continuing with the rest of the cart ...

What a frigging waste of time. This is just the transition to building-wide vending machines.

You wait and see. Within five years, in one of the blue shithole cities, a big-box store will open with nothing but rows and rows of vending machines. You want something, you'll pay for it before it drops into the bin. No credit card? No sale. No exceptions.

What then?

Thieves will just wait in the parking lot for you ...

A crash is coming. It's now just a race whether is happens before, or after, the election. Regardless of who wins, 2025 is going be a dismal time.

Fed chair Paul Volcker figured it out in 1979. In order to squash jummy cooter's inflation, you have to dump the economy on its ass. So Volcker raised the federal funds rate to 19%, crashing the market. It led to the recession of 80-82, followed by, with a few minor hiccups, a twenty-year bull run.

Volcker led a series of tight and aggressive monetary policy initiatives—at one point sending the Fed funds rate to 19 percent in 1981—and curbed growth in the money supply. The economy slipped into a recession in 1980, and a deeper one in 1981–82, but inflation eventually dropped to around the 2 percent level in 1983.

God, it's going to take a massive effort to eject 40+ million (since 1980) illegal aliens and their anchor turds.

Do we still have the will?

Is four years enough time?
