It's either some girl nibbling on the side of a dude's dong..

Or some girl with her legs over a guy's shoulders and he's eating her out in between.

Sorry, it looks sexual either way.

I disagree...I worked for two commercial landlords who built out stores to be rented to Dollar Store chains throughout the Northeast and MidWest. Typically they acquired dirt cheap, stand alone, distressed properties that were eye sores in the community, paid off city counselors under the table so they could obtain all approvals, and then the Dollar Store reps would come in all doe eyed proclaiming they were tasked with helping under served communities and were just trying to help.

Then, when they did open, they hired at most 15 people to run the store (a full time manager and mostly part time employees) and the landlord did the absolute bare minimum maintaining the property. Only if the community was strong enough to demand protections, did the Dollar Store hire off duty cops for securty. And most of the products they were selling were near or past expiration date, full of toxic substitutes/fillers, and considered after life shelf products repackaged as new.

It's a predatory business, targeting under served communities, designed to squeeze out their last dollar. The other retail chain my commercial landlords built stores for? Rent-A-Center...which was basically a predatory loan company designed as a simple furniture/electronics for rent store. Rent-A-Center knew what they were doing, and would often hit us up on locations. It's an egregious business model.

But man, the calls we would receive from Dollar Stores getting robbed, shot up, and people getting murdered were extremely high. And my bosses didn't give a fuck, unless the complaints got so bad. But their attorneys had a list of pre-built, template responses to counter any liability.

I know what I know because I saw it myself and I worked in the trenches. It's a shit show of greed, keeping one community sick and poor, while an Elite few got rich living comfortably in the suburbs.

Search on Google News "Dollar Store Crime", and you'll see an endless, and I mean endless list of robberies, murders, attacks, shootings, etc all occurring at Dollar Stores across the nation.

It's a dirty little secret Dollar Stores and their landlords don't want you to know about...when they open, they economical bankrupt the area, suck in the profits, and leave communities in tatters.

Google it!

It costs American Taxpayers $2,000 per day per prisoner to keep them in incarceration. And there are over 2.3 million prisoners currently in incarceration.

You do the math, and it's no wonder why The Big Short's Michael Burry sold his entire stock portfolio and bought only one stock - Geo Group, a for-profit prison company.

When you think about it, it's very scary what's to come given recession, war, and the Fed's push for creating unemployment to tame inflation, as well as the hiring of 70,000 new IRS agents to chase delinquent American tax payers. And let's not forget they will be pushing a CBDC on us all soon, where they track your spending and take your wealthy away at the click of a button.

Feels very much like America is gearing up to become a police state.

Amen. I just don't understand TSMC and Intel building chip factories out in Arizona, when everyone knows Lake Powell is drying up. It's destined to already fail like by next year.

Hearing about this Micron investment gives me hope America will get back on its feet again. 🙏

Reply to comment by pohl in Microsoft has launched a website to explain its Activision Blizzard acquisition by Zepanda66

I used to think monopolies don't have consequences, but they do. Just look at the world today, with all the poverty and despair, our laws skewed to benefit the rich only, our Healthcare costs monstrous, our food system controlled by just 5 conglomerates, our money centrally controlled and held by the big banks.

With regards to Microsoft's purchase of Activision, it again, one company controlling the vast market, thus limiting our choices, censoring ideas, sucking our pockets empty with constant new pay schemes, and deciding our choices based on what they believe is good for us.

The film The Matrix comes to mind, with the robots holding society hostage in the virtual world.

It may sound fantastical, but just look at the state of the world today, so out of sync with humanity, animals, and the planet. If monopolies continue to gobble up every valuable ip in the world, we are definitely headed toward darker times.
