They were buying a legit chemical product but were tripping over their dicks to give a wink and a nod to using it for drug processing. Since it wasn't a controlled substance we had no obligation to stop them, but kept trying to keep them from shooting themselves in the foot or get someone killed with off-label use of highly flammable gasses.

Question was asked, I answered.  also to be specific I don't think I ever bragged about making tons of money so much as I said "so post your savings account then" repeatedly at people who kept saying socialists were all broke losers?

It's been all over the local news for the past day since it happened here in Detroit, and yeah it's pretty hosed up, the one kid died from illness that probably could have been prevented or cured if we had any kind of good healthcare system, and they couldn't afford the expenses so his friend took to fundraising to try to get that going since the dead kid's Christmas wish was to be remembered after he died, or something like that.

I went to a restaurant the other day and when I got the check there was an additional charge under the tax labeled " Employee Service Charge" or something like that. This wasn't tip/gratuity added in, it was a separate charge. At the bottom of the check there was a statement that said something like " Due to state-mandated wage increases, we are including a service charge to make up the difference". Motherfucker just increase your food prices instead of whining to me on the bill that you have to pay your employees a decent wage.

you could definitely have a socialist/communist state that includes fried chicken fireplace.logs, but when people worry about what they'll lose in a transition from capitalism, its.pretty much just poo poo like that it's like when seemingly sane folks say things like "if we increase wages there will be no more McDonalds" and I enjoy a clown burg sometimes but really we'd all be better off without it

In n Out pays people well above minimum wage in California and gives them benefits and poo poo and they rake it in at prices that are often less than McD's.

well yeah and what I usually say in barroom chats is something like 'if they go under, won't that just incentivize a savvy businessman to figure out how to fill the niche and also treat workers with dignity?' it works on the principled ones
