So it would be bad to break into an abandoned house and take any salvageable food you can? You're against that? What about taking the tv from the upstairs bedroom of a house instead of taking it from Walmart?

Just trying to see where the moral line is drawn here is all.

So, uh, Addicks levee is overtopping. Wasn't that the sign that it's about to start eroding and break? Or is it late enough in the storm that it can probably stand up to it?

the best part is this is some poo poo head manager's "great idea" to increase his store's margins and get a promotion and instead it's going to get him fired.

Again, Best Buy/Home Depot/Lowes (etc) don't sell these as flats. They're individually priced, applied to a whole flat. So that's 24 bottles at $1.79.

Granted, they should have bucked the gently caress up, sold them at a loss (or even just given them away) through their system, but they're lazy.

Not the debtors fault we live in a lovely capitalist system, as long as they use it I say leave it alone. If they do ask you cause they can stiff their creditor by having insurance pay for it, then it's OK.

I don't understand why the right-wing people who are so worried about the government aren't completely panicked by ICE. The protections people get in ICE custody is laughable; there is no right to representation at all (sometimes people are not even given an opportunity to retain any), the standards for action and hilariously bad, and they do poo poo like move people hundreds or thousands of miles to holding locations and make it hard to find that out. US citizens can and have been detained, held, and deported by ICE without any real repercussions or recourse. Not like, it could do that, it already has, more than a few times.

I know that the real reason they don't worry is that they're white and they understand ICE isn't going to start detaining them en masse, but it could if someone decided to switch it from a racial bias to a political one.
