Yes. They all politely declined. The video is hilarious.

It was always targeted harassment against the baker. The original gay couple had to shop a dozen or more bakeries before they found this guy a couple hundred miles away.

Crowder did that, during the original case. Visited several and they all politely declined. There's a video, it's hilarious.

Even if they're "made in USA" it usually just means "assembled in USA" with Chinese parts. Using thousands of Chinese products to run the company.

The blue states will be taken care of. The red state pensions will go broke.

Another reason why UBI will never work. Or at least not "work" like they tell us it will.

The old Milton Friedman joke when some commie minister of agriculture in China was showing a visitor how the peasants using shovels (rather than backhoes) "provided jobs." The visitor thought for a minute and asked: "Why don't they use teaspoons?"

Yep. If flu were tested as often as rona, and if hospitals were paid out for flu deaths at the rate they're paid for (supposed) rona deaths, and if flu were sensationalized to the hilt like rona, flu numbers would look like rona numbers EVERY YEAR.

Even the CDC says flu deaths are underreported and thus underestimated - and have been for decades.

To be fair, the only person I know of who died was the cousin of a friend and he sought ZERO care after he started feeling sick and got tested and was waiting for results (this was before the rapid test was easily available). By the time he figured out he should go to the hospital, it was too late for him.

He had type 1 diabetes, was over 70 and also had cirrhosis of the liver (from the diabetes). And was overweight.

I know you can make it yourself, but that's not what I'm talking about. Texas barbecue places used to offer affordable family meals. That's no longer the case for the most part. Franklin almost singlehandedly drove up prices in less than a decade, to the point where it's almost $100 or more to feed the family after church even at a standard (not upscale) place like Rudy's.

It's like what Starbucks did to the coffee market. It created a mass market for expensive coffee (whether or not you think it's good) and now even the crummiest coffee is three times as expensive.

I'm a capitalist, so I get it. But that doesn't mean I like it.

Of course, Franklin can charge whatever he wants. Unfortunately all the others are now charging Franklin-level prices too. Yes, the market will bear it - because the whole state is so damn full of California money. I still hate what has happened. Barbecue is but one of a thousand examples.

Aaron Franklin means well, and I respect him for being open source about his techniques and a nice guy, but I hate what he did to TX barbecue. Used to be a working man's meal and priced accordingly. Now it costs 3x the price thanks to fancy shit.

Is it better now than it used to be? Maybe. But it's yet one more thing taken away from regular people.

Three times and the third was the worst.

I noticed that. I don't remember seeing it before. It was almost as if the guy was watching him to make sure he was going to make it up okay. Like he had reason to think it was something to worry about.

How many times did Trump mount the stairs at windy airports with zero problems?

Even if it was windy - Trump has walked up and down a zillion AF1 stairs at windy airports with ZERO problems.

The mainline churches are already lost. Find a splinter church.
