I need to check, but in most of the cases, these are mostly brought by a small group of finance bros that own stock some stock, Robby Starbuck is a big name in that group. Especially after strong arming TSC and John Deere.
A few did it out of cowardice and to kiss Краснов's ring (Toyota, Meta.)

Reminds me when an old boss of line, once a Captain in the Army (my old job only hired military officers as supervisors) mentioned that waivers for a lot of things, including psychological stuff was very common in the military. During both Trump and Bush, recruitment numbers were near abysmal IIRC.

Some have. In my railfan days in the early 2010s, knew a kid who was a bit of a foamer. His dad was pretty left leaning, but every online post to this day this guy had that wasn't about trains was just spewing hate. He was in the army for like 2 years. Plenty of folks like that there unfortunately.

Or even a sizable that are not US Citizens. I recall a lot of folks in the US Navy are from the Philippines. Knew a kid from Jamaica who joined the army after his family moved from Jamaica to Alabama and was deployed to Korea for a bit.

You could have put a picture of Lukashenko and the context would not be lost... Only I'd see him recommending Jaeger instead of vodka as a cure all for every ailment ever...

Waymos apparently. The self driving cars we see in San Fransisco getting disabled all the time by all sorts of hilarious means (cones, T-shirts, parking lots, etc.)

Used to go around there whenever parents would go up to GilMart, Joe and Frank's, and Bobak's growing up (all 3 gone now.) Archer was always mad busy around there.
Also saw a truck trailer take the top off a Toyota Camary closer to Chinatown back in like 2005 or 06.

Sounds like their own troll farm propaganda meant to physically weaken Poland, Ukraine, and others had ended up coming full circle to them.

For business, a lot of folks, a lot of folks are justifiably jaded at the corporate world as a whole for buying financial outlooks in DC that are best described as MAD in the long run to create shareholder value right now.
Healthcare, I know that has the online pharmacy that helps on affordability.

On AI, I can see why folks are worried. Part of it is the obvious opportunities for RiFs, when it's hard to find good, stable employment for a lot of folks. The other part is the potential for generative AI to be used by bad actors to justify some serious crimes against humanity reducing liberties.

To be fair, a lot of folks hate reading. But there were many many good folks who sat down and read the damned thing from the source itself, and were sounding the alarm bells on this and the plagiarized version (Agenda 47).
Frustrating how many folks ignored it and fell for the FB memes instead...

The first one reminds me of vertical farming, which is already being used (though not really for Bananas, used more for leafy greens.)

They may, I'm not as familiar with the laws outside FL.
A lot of states outside the south may have it too, as part of some stuff from the late 19th century that is largely forgotten about.

And in states like Florida, differs with age too. It's officially 18, but if one person is no older than 23 and the other no younger than 16, then in the state's eyes it's legal. Other "18" states may have similar provision too.

I thought Trump University went defunct. Did someone start a new one licensing his name (and him recieving royalties foe it?)

Anyways will close it off with a railroad map fron 1953 that pretty much visualizes what today is Poland A and Poland B at most.

PL B less economic activity, and therefore higher unemployment, I'd also be willing to day that it also holds an older population too that stays glued to Radio Maryja and TV Trwam (catholic extremist stations run by Father Tadeusz Rydzyk.) I know my grandma is one of them. [3]
comment in response to

PL A is made from the western half of the country. It tends to vote for the centrist PO/KO. It is made from some of the major cities (Poznan, Wrocław, Katowice, etc) which had seen more economic activity.
PL B is mostly smaller towns and less developed and agrarian in the East. [2]

It is also worth saying that the PM in Poland holds a bit more power than president, and it's still in the hands of KO (Donald Tusk.)
With that said, Poland, like the US seems to follow a similar pattern in voting habits. This lead to A political theory Poland A and Poland B. [1]

Konfederacja is VERY much propped up by the Kremlin. The guy who came 4th (Braun) was part of them as well. They're basically PiS on steroids and let their pro Russia side show a lot. Like a lot of politicans that appeal to frustrated NEET incels, they love that manosphere bullshit Putler puts on.
comment in response to
post
With Poland it's a little different. Both KO and PiS are pretty anti Russia, though PiS are VERY much falangists in EU terms.
It is concerning to see Konfederacja an get 3rd place with 15% and the guy who put a fire extinguisher to a menaorah at the Sejm of come 4th with 6% @ the 1st round [1]

One is truely stupid, like failing the GED like 3 times. The other only acts it to woo her district (which I hear is one that embraces being ignorant, stupid, and hateful.)
With that said, the fact they both despise each other does end up with hilarious semi-public competitions against each other.
comment in response to

It's funny you post this.
I just read this article of what my Polish Senses has me pretty sure is a Russian Government psyop mascarading as a church for Incels that obsesses on being as close to the 2nd half of that as possible.

Remember watching a video of a plane being rerouted in Russia lately. The interiors were in rough shape, the ceiling fell off.
With that said, there has been an issue for planes with shoddy counterfeit spares on the market there for a while. Even Putin's IL-96 was not safe from this.

UVB-76? El Buzzo's been debunked as a Deadman's switch for a few years now.
Still only makes its purpose more mysterious. I never am on the Twente SDR when all the fun stuff goes down on it (especially folks using the waterfall to draw funny pictures on/near its signal.)

Not exactly an expert on this, but isn't the border region all across known for having all sorts of critters known for quite venomous? Guess as per course, he will for taking credit for creating for things that already exist, in this case the Rio Grande and Scorpions. Wonder what he'll rename them.

Oh, believe me I'm well aware. Modern RT has been long known to be Der Stürmer, if that were a TV network...
The only good thing I recall they ever had was a doc on their car industry some 20 years back. Learned GM built Tahoes in Kaliningrad for a while...

It is. I remember how orlando was in the 90s and 2000s. Then 2 theme park CMs could easily rent or even buy a house locally. Now they all got pushed out to Polk Co. And as the new people find out about Polk, some are getting pushed into the ocean it feels like (though that's getting pricy too.)

Last 10 years have been rougher on anyone whose employer is not named Goladman Sachs in being able to afford this place. A lot of folks in their 30s still have to live with multiple roommates. Some homes in once cheaper places like Poinciana have up to 6 working adults in them. FL is a dystopia rn.

And let's not forget about the frog hiding in the back. It possibly explained a lot on who was managing his account.

Well that seems to be quite telling on who is pulling the levers of that account.

The concerning thing is while KO may have won the 1st round, the PiS candidate has a lot behind hin from him from folks who voted for the fringe parties in 3rd and 4th place who make PiS look sane that could support Narowcki in the 2nd round.

They're going to do what places like the local BJs Brewhouses here did for their kitchen staff and use prison labor instead.

No he was also chemically castrated as well after his conviction.
Recall reading that the stigma of the conviction and the side effects of the chemical castration drove him to that point though.

Read up on it, yeah, he's one I was thinking of, especially with TSC amd John Deere being the two big ones he was mentioned for.

Problem is there is a very small select group of finance bros doing this. I forgot their names off the top of my head, and I'd say they're responsible for a majority of these shareholder proposals.

Don't look at me, I did my part and voted against him. Same with my mother, and an old family friend who hasn't voted in 20 years!
Wirh that said, there is a lot of folks who are pretty greedy, not very well aware of current events, and generally intolerant. They fell for the FB meme by bot farms.

Wonder what these are normally used for. I'm guessing more for VIP transport?

The press love him. They're not in the business of informing the public, they're in the business of forcing us to watch the Viagra commercial they sold that ad slot to while we're glue to the screen watching all this unfold.
Why would they want to cancel their biggest rating booster in decades?

Things that stick out to me from all that, is (1) he's obsessing over Autopen again. (2) Brevard Co Sheriff Ivey and Polk Co Sheriff Judd must be throwing their TVs into their respective swimming pools over the fact that it's not their uniform behind him.
In the end, I wonder, what he hiding now?

FR, I checked the BBC and any time they bring him up they obsess over it. To be fair, it feels lately their entire reporting had been hijacked by sympathizers of the far right.
At the rate things are going, Voice of Korea might end up becoming a more reliable news source. That should be worrying.

It'll reopen I'm sure, with prison labor that's even cheaper if virtually nothing as a "work release". TN strikes me as a state that would do this.
There is a reason why the GrOPers are trying to make everything illegal. They trying turn it back to 1852, complete with the Supreme Court of then.

Absolute cryptids. How there are people okay with this is absolutely upsetting.
I recently visited some Party Loyal recently, they honestly think Canada is buckling under his threats, and the tariffs are not causing chaos in industry, they eat all this up like it's fries.

I don't think he has ever gotten these. It seems every meal he gets, at least since the 1960s comes from the Golden Arches.

Hey, that's almost a 747SP, which Qatar did use before the 747-8I. SPs are short ones, about 20 feet longer than his 757 and 65 feet shorter than a 747-8I.
Be funny if they pulled a switcheroo and gave him the best long range technology of 1975 instead.

Twice, don't forget all those influencers who went in to trash the stores during pride month because they got mad at T-shirts, and Target buckling to people who would never step foot in a Target in the first place.
Their executive leadership IMO has no spine, and due to that, pissed everyone off.
