Second Hand Meat Mouth posted:looking to rent a car when lol I worked for a large retailer doing supplier investigations and we would have dozens of allegations come in each year about "women-owned", "Made in America", and "Minority Owned" each year because there were initiatives to grow suppliers in these areas so you'd have lots of business falsely claiming it. The most common explanation I got from the owners when there were interviewed was "I'm married." That was closely followed by "my daughter is on the board/has stock." The bleakest investigation was of a Thai fruit company which was solely owned by a old man and the only possible way "women-owned" could apply to the company was to his workers and without the hyphen. gently caress, I do not miss that job. Sourcing is a bleak hellscape where literally everyone is lying, bribing, scamming, and knowingly involved in some form of slavery. Edit: Made in America had many inventive loopholes. Lots of all parts manufactured overseas, partially assembled, and shipped to the US for final assembly which may be as simple as putting 3 screws in. Then there were the people operating out of their garage and just packaging items bought in bulk from a factory in China and slapping a made in america sticker on it.

Hatebag posted:looks like it was made by an anarchist so unsurprisingly they don't know anything. though realistically, many so-called islamic states don't actually practice sharia for banking because they're run by puppets of the west and that's part of being shackled to finance capital. iran actually does it iirc how the hell do you look at that image and think the anarchist is supposed to be the good guy elmo's out here leading a people's army whereas grover is sitting on a pile of books alone. it's biting commentary

Does USA not have at least basic registry of businesses? Over here, I can just check who's the actual owners of a business, here's a random McDonald's and here's Novo Nordisk for one of the harder to read but serious examples.. Of course, that doesn't help with wife owned businesses, but that's for small men who don't realize what will happen at divorce time.

tokin opposition posted:The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue is the best movie ever made and I will allow no disagreement The Brave Little Toaster Goes To Mars is actually based on the original books apparently Wild how it was basically a stock kids movie plot in the 90s for evil animal testing labs trying to kidnap beloved pets. I probably don't need to get into how that makes no practical sense to do for a number of reasons on thirty seconds of thought.

he's wearing a hi-vis vest and there's a label that says "employees only" below the door handle so it's a work vehicle. the correct and sensible screed might have been put on the car by the company that owns it
