I think places like this are gross. But any Republican fauxrage about it is laughable bullshit.

Mass casualty building collapse in Miami
I was volunteering in Port au Prince, Haiti fall of 2009. I stayed a week in a 9 or 10 story building the organization had in the Petionville neighborhood. It completely collapsed in the earthquake a few months later killing a friend of mine. I still shudder whenever I think about it. /CSB

Mass casualty building collapse in Miami
It appears it was built in 1981 so there's a fair chance they're long gone.

Wolfgang Puck can’t find waiters because of labor shortage
When you talk about flexibility with schedules, what you really mean is that their employers purposefully avoid giving them enough hours so that they can't accrue healthcare and other benefits. Big fucking corporate employers making billions. And many of these employees are adults with limited skills that don't have the ability to work in higher skill industries that will give them full time jobs and benefits. You say fuck them it's them own fault, free markets, Darwinism, etc... You probably call yourself a Christian and then rejoice when big corporations fuck these people out of healthcare and basic human rights to maximize corporate profits. What a fucking asshole.

Exactly. I don't understand how someone can call someone seeking higher pay and/or a higher quality of life Marxism. Isn't that the free market at work? And there's a lot of elitist snobbery in this thread with folks saying that a waiter or cook is inherently only worth $2.55 an hour plus tips. The market says you're fucking wrong. And yes I'd pay $9 for a fastfood meal if I knew the employees were making a living wage with benefits. The idea that low skill workers should be content with effective slavery in the wealthiest country in the world is disgusting.

Catholic Bishops vote to deny Biden and liberals communion
Anytime there's a contentious vote, someone is making a comment. It's the implication that counts.

Catholic Bishops vote to deny Biden and liberals communion
Or their anti-war stance. Or healthcare for all. Or food for all. Or serving the poor. Or treating others as they'd treat Jesus. Fun!

Catholic Bishops vote to deny Biden and liberals communion
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/18/us/targeting-biden-catholic-bishops-advance-controversial-communion-plan.html In other news, religions reaffirm the decisions of tens of millions to leave organized religion in recent years. I applaud this brave move. The faster we relegate religion to the dustbin of history the better.

Yep. I think it was when we did a big crawfish boil.

Racism and the Greek System (South & Texas)
Didn't know what the hell a frat was when I got to UT. Found my way to the Tejas Club which was pretty diverse as far as male organizations go. We used to have coffee talks on Thursday evenings at the house with some pretty impressive guest speakers. McRaven came one time and impressed the hell out of me. Who know that 10 or so years later he'd lead the raid to get Osama. /CSB

Hawaii recomendations
I hike once or twice a week. My favorite hike Honolulu side is Wiliwilinui (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/hawaii/oahu/wiliwilinui-ridge-trail?u=i). Amazing views of both sides of the Island. About 2.5 hours roundtrip and easy to moderate difficulty.

Trump to be reinstated by August
Yep. Saw him in a play many years ago in Chicago at the Steppenwolf. Pretty surreal experience.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Appreciation Thread
I'd like a massive federal investigation into Trump's historic and intentional mishandling of the virus once he and his people knew about it. If you want a tangential investigation into Fauci's decisions then go for it. The rage you Trumpkin's have against Fauci seems inverse to your absence of rage about Trump and his apologists.

Microsoft paid $0 taxes on $315 Billion in profits in 2020.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/03/microsoft-irish-subsidiary-paid-zero-corporate-tax-on-220bn-profit-last-year Other than rage I don't have a particularly point to make. I know the Fed chair and Treasury Secretary are working on a world wide minimum corporate tax rate. The lack of patriotism and sense of civic responsibility by American corporations is appalling. Even at a corporate 20% tax rate, this is $60bn in taxes avoided that could do a lot of good in the U.S. I'm curious what the right wing argument in favor of this is.

Saw it yesterday and thought it was pretty good. There were some weak plot points as there always is in these types of thrillers, but not enough to diminish the film. I don't know how to spoiler quote on tapa so I won't list them.- Identifying Trump rioters
I'll throw in a thousand.- Redundant topics are dumb - just post gifs!!!
