Single issue voters and crime

November 27, 2019 — ~level3

If you are a single-issue voter, and the issue you vote for has "fringe elements" using intimidation tactics to support the issue you also support does that make you a terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer?

I don't know but I am inclined to say no. At least not given just the information we have.

Food and consumer expectation

August 14, 2019 — ~level3

The Signature Select 12 grain bread I bought from Safeway is molding. It won't expire until tomorrow. So, I called customer service. They said they will give me store credit.

Now, I am eating my saltine crackers. It looks like these don't expire. Is it food? Who knows. But it got me thinking, maybe the bread got moldy because it is food. And saltines don't go moldy because it is not food.

What if businesses gravitate away from food and only sell not food because people like me complain?
