You’re not gonna believe this guys, but that thing that doesn’t happen happened again.

called an HVAC guy to replace a $40 capacitor on my air conditioner. quote came back at $680. i asked him how long the fix takes. he goes: "about 15 minutes." i said: "so I'm paying $2,700 an hour for labor?" he looked around and whispered: "i make $26 an hour. the private equity firm that bought out our family-owned business last year sets mandatory revenue quotas on every service call." then he showed me his tablet. if he doesn't hit $3,000 a day in upsells, he gets written up. the original founder ran that company for 30 years charging $150 a visit and built a great life. now wall street owns local plumbing, electrical, and AC contractors across the country, jacked up prices by 350%, and put working-class technicians on corporate sales commissions. you aren't paying for skilled trade labor anymore. you're funding a hedge fund's profit margin on basic home maintenance.

The popular drinkware company YETI has updated their site to let you put in the name Jesus Christ The company restricted Jesus Christ but allowed you to customize with the names Satan, Allah, Muhammad and more Only after backlash has the company unrestricted Jesus Christ, previously giving you the error “Sorry, that doesn't fly. Try a different prompt.” Satan, Allah and Mohammed were accepted but of course Jesus was banned This is why you have to apply pressure to these companies and not accept this insanity

In 2005, Oneida shut the flatware factory in Sherrill, New York. A town that had made silverware for MORE THAN 100 YEARS was supposed to be finished. Two men refused to let that happen. Their names are Matt Roberts and Greg Owens. Roberts had managed that factory. Owens was another former Oneida manufacturing manager. When the company ended U.S. production, they bought the plant and the equipment and reopened it the NEXT DAY as Sherrill Manufacturing. They did not have a giant rescue fund. They did not have a Hollywood ending waiting. They had a building, some machines, and a workforce that knew how to make forks, knives, and spoons. At first they kept making product for Oneida. Then Oneida pulled the remaining American work and sent it overseas. That should have been the end. It wasn’t. They took government flatware contracts to keep the lights on. In 2010 they filed Chapter 11. They sold unused equipment. They sold space they could no longer fill. They leased back only the part of the factory they could still run. They came out of bankruptcy in 2013. Then they did the thing that saved the company. They built their own brand: Liberty Tabletop. They sold 18/10 stainless flatware straight to customers who wanted tableware MADE IN THE UNITED STATES. Not through a department store that could drop them overnight. Direct. Today Liberty Tabletop is the only company still manufacturing stainless steel flatware in America. Same town. Same trade. U.S. steel. About 70 jobs. They did not bring back 2,000 workers. Nobody did. What they saved was the last line. If you want American-made forks and spoons, this is the factory that still makes them. Support Liberty Tabletop. THIS is what keeping manufacturing in America actually looks like. 🇺🇸

🚨 THE OUTRAGE IS REAL: GM is officially killing the oil dipstick. First, the auto industry tried to force us into monthly subscriptions just to use our own heated seats. Then they started voiding warranties if you dare to change your own brakes. Now, General Motors is taking away the most basic tool under the hood. For the 2027 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra V8s, GM is completely removing the physical engine oil dipstick. Their corporate response? A total shrug. They claim they’re "simplifying the ownership experience" by replacing it with a digital sensor at the bottom of the oil pan. Translation: If your truck is burning oil and you want to double-check the level yourself, you either have to cross your fingers that the computer isn't glitching, or you have to jack the truck up, crawl underneath it, or pay a dealership service center just to find out where your fluid levels are. It’s an absolute middle finger to American truck owners, DIY mechanics, and anyone who believes in the Right to Repair. The comments section on TikTok is already completely losing its mind, with thousands calling for an absolute boycott of GM products. Corporate greed has officially crossed the line. They don't care what the public thinks—they just want total control over the vehicle you supposedly "own." Are you standing with the boycott, or are you letting corporate algorithms control your engine? Drop your thoughts below. 👇🏼

What's next? She'll claim she was on the O.J. Simpson trial too?

WOAH 🚨 Senator Josh Hawley says that Flock Safety Cameras admitted to him in a private message they are saving images of every American inside their vehicles and they can search those images BY PEOPLE, not license plate Hawley says this is a mass surveillance network like we’ve never seen being setup right here in America at a very shockingly fast pace He says Flock is also searchable by bumper stickers on vehicles, like Trump stickers or NRA or pro-life or anything. Flock is using AI to be able to identify people down to the bumper stickers on their cars, even dents “Flock's cameras can even recognize whether people are in the images. And in fact, Flock admitted in a letter to me ahead of this hearing that you could search their database based on people's images. You could ask to search people, images that had people, images that are scanning the the inside of the cars. I mean, this is really quite extraordinary” “What seems to make these networks unique is not just the sheer number of cameras, it's the fact that they're all linked together and powered and searchable by AI. It's unlike anything we've ever seen in this country before — They store and catalog details like the vehicle's make, model, color, location, date, time. Flock's searchable features include details like dents and roof cracks and vehicle damage and racks on the roof or racks on the back or specific bumper stickers even. You think about that. I mean, Flock can tell you if a car has a Trump sticker or a Harris sticker or a Pro-Life America sticker or an NRA sticker. It's really quite extraordinary.” Just so you can get a sense of how truly vast the mass surveillance network already is in America with Flock cameras I included the current September 2026 map of all Flock cameras installed. It is insane Why is this being allowed to happen

Why is Sunny Hostin lying about being the hold out juror? According to this article, Asunción "Sunny" Cummings Hostin is actually upset with the holdout juror, saying she believed the cannibal defendant was aware of his actions. She was upset w/the juror pushing for a NGBROI verdict. Is she really this desperate? It’s easily checked!

Shocking. Just like DOGE at the Federal level, they don't want people tracking $$ fraud and held accountable.

It's like a bank robber having the authority to block any police investigations.🤦‍♀️

What was the first movie that scared you as a kid? For me - Wizard of Oz. The flying monkeys scared me big time. That and the evil witches gave me nightmares for quite a few years. I was about 7yrs old.
