Every knife guy has had this conversation
I’ve had this one (at least the first four lines) with my wife countless times.
When I lived in Chicagoland, my redneck self was usually the only person with a knife so colleagues and coworkers would ask to borrow mine.
It got to the point where I started carrying a POS loaner knife just to lend to people who asked to borrow one to open boxes.
This is a crime against humanity and the management of NYC should be punished accordingly

The vendor is clearly a beloved member of her community. Neighbors crowded around her, calling for the abuse to stop

The systemic abuse of our city’s micro-businesses and disregard for hunger is a travesty.
Our communities deserve care, support, and training. Thankful to the community members who donated to the vendor yesterday to help her get back on her feet.@NYCMayor do you condone this? pic.twitter.com/k8oc149xRV

The news covered the story:
BRONX COMMUNITY OUTRAGED AFTER FRESH PRODUCE CONFISCATED FROM STREET VENDOR, THROWN AWAY
The video shows sanitation crews throwing box after box of fresh fruit and vegetables into a garbage truck from a stand on Pelham Parkway, with an angry crowd protesting the move.
Diana Hernandez Cruz, an immigrant and a new mother, has worked at the stand for five years.
“I’m here in the rain, I’m here in the snow,” she said. “I’ve been working to provide food but also to take care of my family.”
On Saturday, she was back at the corner with the food telling Eyewitness News what happened here on Thursday, when two police officers called the sanitation department to remove the items after she couldn’t provide a permit.
“This video shows a small portion of an unfortunate situation, where abandoned material needed to be disposed of for the safety of the community. The Department of Sanitation is committed to our mission of keeping streets and neighborhoods safe, clean, and healthy,” the New York City Department of Sanitation said.
Throwing away good food like that is a sin against God and man.
All because this woman was unable to show proof of a permit that is difficult and expensive to obtain because the street vendor permit office is as corrupt as the gun permit office.
Both of my grandfathers were in the food business.
Watching this is a knife through my heart.
The Waffen NYPD and the ordinary men of the sanitation department should be ashamed of themselves.
Biden pulling out the worst rhetoric of dictators on Americans
Biden: “That 25% minority can cause an awful lot of damage…The unvaccinated overcrowd our hospitals…The unvaccinated also put our economy at risk.”

Hutus said the same about Tutsis.
Turks said the same about Armenians.
Hitler said the same about Jews.
Biden is saying that COVID spikes and the resulting lockdowns are the fault of a minority.
A US President is focusing national outrage on a minority of Americans.
This is evil.
I have a question about David Hogg
I try to ignore him, but Miguel brought him up the other day so I figured he was fair game for another post.
Clearly, he’s a psychotic wannabe tyrant.
When he lets it all hang out on Twitter, he really reveals the true nature of his character.
Oppose us for as long as you want- we’re going to outlive you and replace everyone of you in every state legislature, the halls of congress and every court- we’re going to win
All because have the most important thing most of those that oppose us don’t have.
Time.

Who but an utter psycho talks like this?
Does he assume that his generation is monolithic in belief?
What happens when be finds out that for half the young people today who came of age during COVID lockdowns and Leftist crime spikes, they were getting Red pills with their Flintstones morning vitamins?
A recent article in Newsweek gives me hope.
Americans Under 30 Have Rapidly Turned Against Gun Control Laws, Poll Finds
But Hogg’s political Tweets are not what really interest me right now.
This one does:

David Hogg’s dad is a retired FBI agent on disability and his mom is a public school teacher.
He got into Harvard based on his anti-gun activism. Anyone who knows anything about the Ivy Leagues is that their endowments are more than enough to give every student a free ride. They charge tuition to keep the riffraff out. They give free rides away all the time when they want to get a student for reasons of prestige, e.g., the children of celebrities or politicians, some child activist, etc. So his going to Harvard didn’t cost anything.
But sailing a yacht off the coast of one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country?
His various trips and lifestyle?
Who is bankrolling this and why?
He’s no longer associated with March For Our Lives after they threw him out for grifting with his pillow company.
A pillow company that failed before it got started, by the way.
Parkland was three years ago, and in the attention span of politics, that’s forever ago. Nobody gives a shit about it anymore.
How can he afford this lifestyle this long after the incident that got him fame has faded from memory?
Is there a patron investing in him for a reason?
I want to know what’s up.
Sunday funny
I laughed way too hard at this:
