Note: Don’t just send them an insulting message. Send something vague saying you’re being harassed. Work the conversation for awhile to waste their time. Add a little more absurdity to each message and see how long it takes them to figure it out. ---

The AG is angry that the Starbucks workforce is becoming more female and less white, which he claims is having a negative impact on efficiency and service. Of course, finding good white boys who actually want to work at Starbucks might be challenging, and expecting white boys to provide better service, well, I have worked alongside white boys and many of them are slackers. Also, I suspect white boys are more likely to push for unionization. ---

Everyone uses cards to pay for stuff. The CFPB was established to regulate the insane practices that some of those card providers were using to extract more and more money from their user base, usually from the most vulnerable people. ---

Ted Cruz - described by one Donald Trump as, "He’s a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him.” Still, you wouldn’t think even someone as viscerally repulsive as Ted Cruz wouldn’t want other countries dethroning the U.S. as the world leader in scientific research. But you’d be wrong. He (some toady staffer) did some word searches and eXcreted this ignorant flatulent tirade. > **[Ted Cruz Claims Researching Self-Driving Cars And Solar Eclipses Advance...](https://jalopnik.com/ted-cruz-claims-researching-self-driving-cars-and-solar-1851762545)** > > Republicans are very normal people with very normal concerns. ---
