Amazon and Walmart.
In the old days if you wanted a collection of different goods you had to go to the mall.
After Walmart you could get shoes, clothes, furniture, and trinkets at Walmart...for less. And latter you could just order it from Amazon and have it show up at your house in a couple of days.
Malls couldn't get compete because the stores there had to pay for appealing real estate.
In my area we still do have malls but I like in a wealthy-ish area and more and more the stores in the malls are high end.

The tepid nature of propaganda that Shrub experimented with was...underwhelming...and of course he shelved most of it as soon as the Democrats started whining about it.
If you want to win a war you fight it like you did in WWII. Yes that means a winning RoE, competent generals, but all an effort to keep homefront morale up. Ironically, the reason we lost the WoT is because Shrub and co had no problem sending grunts to their deaths but were TERRIFIED of getting spoken of poorly in the FNM.

2 teenagers, 1 man arrested for illegally manufacturing guns in Ventura County
https://t.co/XvPzGMwA15
http://tiny.cc/5v3yzz
Deputies arrested two teenagers and a 45-year-old man for allegedly manufacturing and possessing unregistered guns and automatic rifles in Ventura County, officials announced Friday.
At the conclusion of a months-long investigation, detectives say they seized 16 illegal firearms, three unlawfully possessed firearms, numerous firearm components and a “significant amount” of ammunition from a Santa Rosa Valley residence.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation began in May when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security intercepted internationally shipped packages destined for one of the two teens, who was believed to be residing in the 2000 block of Blanchard Road

When Jaguar was a serious car company, they really didn't have to advertise. The cars sold themselves, simply being Jaguars. You knew you were getting a beautiful-looking, fast powerful car that simply oozed class. And the fact that it needed to go to the shop regularly was simply proof of its thoroughbred ancestry.

The Mesilla Valley Mall in Las Cruces is about half dead for a few reasons. When Sears folded that end of the mall died and they've never been able to refill that huge space, most of the stores in the mall are not that compelling and are being slowly replaced by vape stores, and then there are the three Walmarts scattered around town.

Big socialist titties.
If they are socialist... aren't they owned by the gubbmint which is all of us, the people, and so We The People have a right to enjoy all the big socialist titties, without the consent of the "tit"ular owner?
Isn't that how socialism works -- we get to take from those who have to give to those who have not? They have the big socialist titties, and I do not, so I get to take them, or at least play with them?
I think that's how this socialism thing works, right?

Most incels are pretty leftwing and many of them have started to argue for the "socialization of sex" which would mean that people have to have sex with each other by random lot.
A stupid, stupid idea on many levels, but I mean, it is socialism. From those that have to those that need right? And a number of the early communes actually tried things sort of like this.

I have a spare steering box, sitting in another naked chassis. If the '08 proves to need more than a U-joint, I will pull the spare steering box, throw it in the back of the '99, and come down in it. It doesn't steer that bad, just not as good as it should be.

It's gonna be cold all over the country for the next near week, looks like. Looking at the temp map, I see a tongue of really cold air is coming down through ND, Wisconsin, and into Iowa.

Officials are usually airports and other "reliable" stations in town. It routinely gets 3 or 4 degrees colder here than official in cold weather.

Most major advertisers are afraid to, or don't want to, buy adspace in Conservative media. Neither the advertisers, nor the site owners, can afford to be choosy.
Hopefully that will start changing, too.

That makes my heart smile. Those poor referees that had to keep working for free for all those overtime periods cuz the game kept going on and on and on.
I get angry and bored when I have to do extra work for free so I'm laughing at that poor crew LOL Hahahaha
We only get one match fee. When we have to work OT it's like giving free labor. :eyeroll:

There were many complaints at Powerline; the response was, the ads are computer selected by the number of times a word appears in the blog threads. A keyword search initiates what the subject of the advertising would be. They used Googleitics or something like that. That's when I got my first adBlocker.
Posted by: Braenyard - some absent friends are more equal than others at November 30, 2024 12:50 AM (lrtx8)
Oh, yes, that, too. Probably much more to Christopher's point! I was thinking about the ads like King Harvey.

Heh, I was looking at some of the Idaho, Montana, and other stations out there, and wondering why the hell the graphs weren't updated for the 30th.
Then it hit me, those are local time based. It ain't the 30th in Idaho yet....
And Wunderground's programmers need to be horse whipped for their DST change handling. They couldn't handle the 25 hours for the change, screwed everything up.

King Harv's ads are amusing and harmless. I think he has bought direct from Ace. The other shit comes from Gurgle's adservers. Gurgle is evil, never forget that.

Has Powerline gotten useful again? I stopped going there a while back when one of the hosts (since departed) contracted TDS. Now I only look at it on Saturdays for their The Week In Pictures meme fest.

Has it ever been? Before Obama, they would occasionally write something interesting. I followed a link from The Other McCain. They had a monster blog but months before us common folk considered Obama would win they knew and dumped the members like a hot potato.

Same.
I only check out FloppingAces on Sunday evening/Monday for their "Sunday Funnies" week in review compilation of political cartoons. It's usually quite
More news in political cartoons than from the cartoon characters who 'analyze politics for a living' on corporate media.

Nothing new. I worked in the comm manufacturing sector for decades, and the usual purchasing cycle for a new product was on the order of 5 years to volume buys.
A year of marketing ads, trade shows etc. Another year of sales coming presentations to top brass and engineering. Another year of engineering doing lab qualifications. And... Another year of initial installs and training of Operating Company staff, and finally orders in sufficient quantity to start amortizing design and development costs.
I got out :-) during the dot boom, and found that electric utility companies run on the same sort of schedule. Seems to have something to do with being highly regulated.
