  • It literally does though. Forget our personal politics for a moment. I don’t think there’s a single voter already planning to vote for Kamala Harris who would stay home because the staffers of a long-dead president support her. Keep in mind, Harris and her campaign have zero control over who officially endorses her. And even among the people who are not solidly behind her, many see her as the obvious only sane choice and are planning an anti-Trump vote no matter what.

    But on the other side, I could definitely see centrists and Republicans swayed by what they view as the administration of “the greatest president ever” (fuck Reagan) denouncing Trump and supporting Harris. They may not even vote for her, but if they stay home this could literally tip the election for Kamala Harris.






  • Good points! Keyboard, monitor, and mouse are so crazy cheap (for one that is at least fully functional) that they probably aren’t worth mentioning, at least in terms of extra cost. They’re also the most easily-replaceable parts on any rig! I bet most people would be able to get free/low-cost versions of these, no matter where they live. Many people could leave workstation-level models of these for people. No LEDs or extra features, but completely usable…






  • Thank you for the different perspective and clarification. I’ve only visited outside the US, never lived, but I think you’re correct: customers here are worse. Entitlement practically surrounds them… I once had a couple with some minor issue as I rung up their order. They looked me in the eye, then the husband later submitted a complaint and straight-up lied about the interaction trying to get me fired. Luckily I don’t do that job any more…

    But you make a good point about forgetting a wallet, or an emergency! I guess workers shouldn’t completely ignore people banging on the locked door…

    People like you and the reviewer need to work a service job, at least once in your lives. “Closed”, I wonder what that means?? The registers are all shut down, there’s no cash. If it’s a food place, the grill is off. They are not serving customers. So no, just because there happens to be glass or bars you can see workers through, they are not required to acknowledge people on the street or “be nice”. They are trying to get home at a somewhat reasonable time!

    PTSD from having to literally stop people from entering grocery stores after 11:00p in a previous job…
