That was a truly confusing answer. No the government will protect itself. DUH, proven every time you know about Kent state right? Truthfully it is like Daniel Boone always moving on when he saw smoke on the horizon. One needs the individualist mentality. Sadly though there is nowhere in the world exempt from satellite coverage. Possibly very deep caves or mines. If you don't have the mindset to do immense physical damage immediately to survive, then you die. Doesn't matter if it is a Bear, a pack of Dogs or people. Running will NOT help.
Meatpacking workers at Hormel Foods’ plant in Austin, Minnesota, voted to reject a “final offer” contract last week in a push for stronger wages, setting the stage for a potential strike at the processor’s largest facility.
“It’s simply not good enough,” said the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 663 bargaining committee, which represents close to 95% of workers at Hormel’s hometown plant. “Hormel’s record profits are just wages not shared fairly with the rest of us.”
A Hormel spokesperson said that the parties have agreed on a contract extension through Oct. 8 as negotiations continue. The Austin plant is the largest of Hormel’s manufacturing locations, employing 1,800 people and producing more than 1 billion pounds of Spam, pepperoni and other food items each year.
Meatpacking workers “overwhelmingly” voted down Hormel’s contract offer, according to UCFW, with the rejection coming as thousands around the U.S. mobilize to demand big businesses provide better working conditions and distribute record profits. Detroit auto workers for Ford, GM and Stellantis — known as the Big Three — are on day six of a walk-out strike, pressuring automakers for better benefits and pay as they see record high profits. The Writers Guild of America is expected to resume talks today with major Hollywood studios to improve worker compensation and protections around the use of artificial intelligence, Reuters reported. Nurses, teachers, truck drivers and other essential workers are also in the fight against stagnant wages amid inflation.
“The reality is that we keep Hormel running,” the UFCW Local 633 committee said.
“We demand that Hormel does better and comes to the table for a fair agreement quickly.”
Voting took place Sept. 13 and 14 at the plant and UFCW union hall in Austin. Workers are pushing for higher wages in light of Hormel’s high earnings results, which soared as food companies adjusted their sales prices to compensate for absorbed costs.
Hormel’s gross profits totaled $2.05 billion over the past 12 months, though the company is currently grappling with financial headwinds. The pork processor warned investors of lower than expected earnings this year as it navigated through a period of volatile commodity markets.
“We are disappointed in the vote, especially given the significant contract package offered, however we remain optimistic that we will reach agreement,” the Hormel spokesperson said.
No it isn't happens every holiday in the US. The real problem is people have no clue how dark they can get when they don't think. About five years ago this lovely middle class woman was driving her SUV home from shopping. She hit this homeless man and he was stuck in her windshiled. She let him die slowly in her garage. Three days. One of the Fargo seasons sub plots was based on that.
What is Spodiodi wine? Kerouac On The Road (1972) 185: A coloured guy called Walter who ordered drinks and said, 'Wine-spodiodi! ' which was a shot of port wine, a shot of whiskey and a shot of port wine.
I have to argue with the water part, hurricanes, typhoons and floods kind of disprove that point. Get drunk fail face first in a puddle and drown in three inches of water. Water is the only thing that can be in three states at once, solid, liquid and gas. People underestimate water the same way they do methane. How many people die each year in septic tanks?
Yes to all of that. I personally don't like guns. Run out of ammo and it is just a hunk of metal. Adapting weapons from your surroundings is my thing. I also like 2a. The more freedoms we have the better. What always kills me is they typically base shootings in the US but never in nations with higher either crime rates or revolutionaries. They do the same thing with serial killers. I just read some thing about Drew Carey being called as a witness to his exgf murder. Her ex waited for her with a syringe full of Nicotine. You get that from soaking cigarettes in water. You have to admit that is a pretty unique way to picture his murder plan. She was beaten to death then thrown off her balcony. He did not plan that well. And more people are scared of knives than guns. I feel it is because everyone has been cut at some point.
Another site. There was this nice Filipina teacher. Had kids weeks of mails exchanged.. Then one day I get this picture of bars across a window and joke if she is in prison. That is when she said the school year stats and they need money for the kids. Sh even sent pics of supposed other teachers. I had two women out right beg me for like thirty posts for money. I felt too sad to block them. Eventually they got bored and one may have been nuts. Assuming no one has thought of it yet, I would start grabbing every pic there is. AI CGI can wrap a face around any body. Slight facial changes and the look is yours to copyright. Keep this in mind, if you have a bunch of Pics they can be used on fake passports. I've had a couple of shady Muslim women ask for a pic and once they get it they disappear. One is still here. Luckily I have only one real pic so not much to use. I look like Santa or a balding Dwarf. Too much Photoshop work in changing my appearance for a p[passport.
Dude I drank for effect, not flavor. Oddly I was a drunk but not an alcoholic. I never woke up needing a drink, but once I started it was hard to stop. I had many nights of beer, joint, cigarette, repeat sequence until I passed out. I did it no need to lie or present myself as anything other than what I really was. Once I stopped I never had the desire for any of those again. Legal weed makes me dizzy. I guess it happens to a lot of people. I keep looking for Xanax trade off but Xanax actually addresses other issues than anxiety like Tinnitus and Vertigo. Oh well. Not part of your topic except tangentially. So I will leave you with this

Depends on the alcohol content. I am not certain about 2023, but Chilean wine did NOT have any Chernobyl radiation. When I drank we would buy this cheap gallon of Sangria for like 5usd. But I pretty much drank everything so I can not really judge. When I had the money I would but Guinness stout or some import beer. That was before the micro brew stuff.
Stinky Blob ( DEAD NAME) and his PISHWASH ( TRANS NAME) back to integrating the dual personalities. Good on ya. Grab those Carpe's by the deim. Do da filthy.
Wow, you did not research on line dating or read reviews of the various apps/sites. The sad part is you hit just before the AI and Deepfakes start. Soon any real women scammers will all be electronic scammers. Honestly you want women for marriage, go to church or a library or book club. Everything else if Tinder or Hinge. Google up all the various dating apps on REDDIT. Plenty of ongoing recent discussions and evaluations.
It seems that some people like Stinky Blob ( Dead Name) and his alter ego PISHWASH ( Trans name) have two accounts. One male and one female. Why would anyone do such a thing?
I get lying younger but lying older? Really have they run the demographics and said this site requires older women not twenty somethings? You can't thrust most pics. And to be honest the unattractive would be the best women to find happiness with. If they are NOT crazy.
And your observations? Men dye their hair. I hate Hwood Black myself it is so obvious. Do men lie about their age to make themselves younger? The women going older is pretty funny. The opposite of "real" women.
