Trash headline, but interesting information.

Surveys have always been nonsense. I suppose if you are legitimately trying to find something out then that is one thing, but almost every group doing surveys has an ulterior motive. If the data starts looking bad for them, they just don’t release it or they cherry-pick who they are talking to by how they gather the data. Either way, it is always skewed towards the advantage of whoever is paying the tab.

I agree. If they can’t afford to man the stores properly, they shouldn’t have stores.

I don’t even think this is intentional. They just under-staff those places so hard that there is no chance that somebody went around any time and updated the prices. I have walked into a half dozen dollar generals, got my stuff and stood at the register for minutes, never even seeing an employee. I could have walked out with a couple shopping carts of stuff unchallenged. Baskets of unshelved items are always stacked in the rows. The GAF is very low when you do see an employee. They must pay minimum wage. Dollar General used to be a pretty good store, so something must have happened in management in the last decade.

It would be hilarious if he played Euro Truck Simulator 2 on his down time.

They have discovered that even the Amazon rain forest is actually a result of agriculture. I suppose you enjoy eating… It makes no sense to rave against agriculture in general. At any rate I wish they would start domesticating Melipona beecheii for North American bee keeping. It is a native american bee, though it is more central and south america as it is tropical. It is also stingless, which is a plus. Native Americans in Mexico harvested them for honey.

Slavery happened to whole peoples in multiple places. Rome enslaved peoples from all over europe. Slave traders from Europe and America didn’t introduce Africa to slavery. Africa was already fighting wars and enslaving each other across the entire continent. That is where the slave trade came from. They enslaved europeans if they got caught there. They had slaves to sell and Europeans found that they wanted to use them. It was a global problem and any peoples left in Africa are just as guilty of it as any European or American. Which is to say, not at all, because all of those people have been dead for two generations.

Well, domestic bees are invasive. I wonder if they are going to try to feed this to wild bees… Probably not. Still, I want domestic bees to flourish, because I like honey, so I’m not that mad.

It’s the truth. Sorry? Do you think the slave traders were parking outside Africa, ranging across the continent, and grabbing people with big nets?
