I mean you are dealing with the absurd, so what's a win anyways? All for him to decide tomorrow it's a loss?
Country is ruled by an authoritarian warlord, you can't expect decency or rationality. If it was everyone's beloved PP in Carneys place, he'd still be getting his ass handed to him. Don't kid yourself.
And he might roll out of bed one morning at 3am and decide it's all over again. Hit the truth social with his one eye open, and that's that.
Hope it works for you!
This shit can take forever to crater though, bubbles are a real bitch for that sometimes. Look at Bitcoin, here we are a decade later, it's still rollercoastering between absurd and literally insane. Our housing market is another example, it's been in a bubble for almost 20 years. Everyone knows it's a bubble, but what's going to make it pop?
Last month would have been better.
It's getting to the point where I'm ready to quit some of my clients. For real. One of these days, I'm going to just be like whelp, if AI is the route you want to go, please by all means. And don't call me, I'll call you.
Coffee can come from a variety of sources. Some of the local roasters have what I believe are basically futures purchased for coffee grown in the coffee belt regions.
I'm not psychotic about it, like somewhere some place whatever I'm after probably uses US sourced materials or touches the US somehow. Can't help that. Can only do so much, right?
Mostly just coffee and water. Water comes out of my tap. My coffee is locally sourced (we have a variety of local roasteries).
I couldn't remember if that was before or after they went public. Must have been before if it was 2003, because I'm almost positive they went public in 2005.
2005 was when they went public. That's when the enshittification started. It all started when they went central with their bakeries and pulled all the baking from in house. Then the prices started going up. 25 cents per fiscal year, almost to the calendar date. Then shit started getting smaller. Less staff. The bagel toasters suddenly sped up a whole lot.
Fast forward to like say 2015, they were probably the biggest users of the TFW plan. Didn't train anyone properly. Couldn't keep staff. The toasters went so fast the bagels pretty much shot like a torpedo out of the toaster when someone put one down. Food was never warm. Lids leaked like hell, and no one would do anything about it.
Used to be a multiple times a day tim visitor. Best thing that ever happened to me was when they went to shit. It correlates directly with better health, better financial health and habits and it removed what was pretty much an addiction. I haven't even been inside one since COVID.
Come on bruh. Have you been to a Tim Hortons in the last 20 years? Dumpster fire to the exponent of 100.
Can't affect shit, if we ain't buying shit.
I'm going out of my way, overpaying, to make sure my purchases are made on Canadian soil, from Canadian companies.
Ah yes the cons and all their privatizing. Trickle down economics blah blah blah, etc.
