Someone should scrape up some of that Burning Man sludge with all the micro organisms that are now multiplying in it and wholesale it to Gwynnie Paltrow's company Goop.

BearHunter said:



Pizzagate aged better than Russiagate.

ABC journalist investigating Pizzagate was charged with child sex abuse material charges.
NM. I changed my mind.
Probably for the best. Anyone dim enough to think BearHunter and I are the same person and post about it on Growls probably shouldn't try to come up with clever retorts.
No, I was just mindboggled that you thought anything aged worse than Pizzagate but decided I didn't want to get dragged into the muck with you.

You write like BearHunter, you obsess about the same topics as BearHunter, you came up with an alias that takes a shot at the Bidens like BearHunter does over and over again. Basically there's not a nanometer of difference between the two of you. It's pretty clear you're just another Yogi burner account, albeit one with more stamina than most.
If taking a shot at the Bidens makes me BearHunter, does that mean that you are all of the accounts who take shots at Trump?

Newsflash for Eastern Oregon Dim Bear - Biden is more unpopular than Trump was. It's a majority position in this country - just not in this Democrat safe space.


I think this documentary might be particularly relevant for you. Never go Full ******.


Yogi, I see that your profile shows your account must have been banned again and that you recreated your account a few minutes before you posted this. That's going full r e t a r d.

Resurrecting banned accounts is something else you have in common with BearHunter and the other burner accounts.
BearHunter's account is almost a year old, dimwit. Hardly a burner account.

Stupid is as stupid does.
You're not fooling anyone.
You and Eastern Oregon Bear would have been great candidates for this.

Thank you.
I'm honored to be mistaken for EOB, because we both despise the hell out of the likes of you.

Further, it's no surprise that you're posting Howard Stern videos. I mean, heck, even a reformed Howard, after years of intense and humbling therapy, has realized what an ass he was.

But, if he can do it, perhaps you can, too.
Except for the fact that you probably can't afford the therapy!!

Best wishes!

It's $110/sqft, dirt cheap for class B+ commercial RE, considering the replacement cost is about 3x that. It's basically a fire sale. Perhaps some upside if it can be converted to live-works or condos.

In a statement provided by Cortese says, "Under my SB 553, employers would be prohibited from forcing their rank and file, non-security workers to confront active shoplifters, and all retail employees would be trained on how to react to active shoplifting. The legislation has other provisions that keep people safe at work. Let's take every reasonable step to prevent another workplace assault or shooting."

You still might disagree with the bill, and that's fine! But it doesn't actually fine employees who confront shoplifters. I'm honestly not sure where Cheong got that from, but I think there's a reason he just took a picture of the article and didn't actually link to it.

You're right, I think, but the bill apparently states this (according to the article): "It would establish new workplace standards, that would prohibit store employees from fighting back against thieves."
How will companies prohibit anything? Will they be made to give offending employees a stern talking to?

When companies do not enforce this policy, they will open themselves up to lawsuit by injured employees, onlookers, and even the criminals themselves if someone is hurt while an employee makes any effort to defend a store from crime. Employers would therefore have a strict policy against this, which would possibly lead to termination for employees to don't follow their do nothing procedure when criminals are in the store. Unfortunately, it is never the criminals fault. See GFR's amazing tik tok links.

You are right again. Lulu just fired two employees for doing just this because of their policy. But they didn't need the government to pass a bill. I don't know the right answer but I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve the government passing more laws. They don't enforce many of the ones already on the books.

OSHA could therefore require signage at the workplace to make sure employees know not to try to stop any crime on premise. Employers who do not post this signage would be subjected to fines. This would be similar to not posting the minimum wage etc...

From what I can tell, the intent of the bill is to prevent companies from REQUIRING employees to physically confront shoplifters (security guards excepted). I haven't read the text extensively, but seems like the company would be fined (or open to lawsuit) if it violated this law, not the employees themselves.

There could be indirect effects on employees' ability to keep their jobs, of course.

I was at the Montclair Safeway last evening, not busy, and the northern entry door was closed.

Outside the front door there was a tall, hapless looking young security guard. No weapon or handcuffs. I asked him if there are any thefts there, and if managers instruct them to take pictures? He mumbled, and walked off to his car.

Simultaneously a customer was leaving, and the woman said "I see theft here all the time".

Investors Business Daily: Retail Theft Nears $100 Billion As Violence, Organized Crime Gouge Earnings

"Target CEO Brian Cornell noted that retail theft and organized crime continues to weigh on the business. Stores saw a 120% increase in theft incidents involving violence or threats of violence during the first five months of 2023, according to the company...."

"But every bit of research shows that a small portion of the offending population is responsible for the majority of incidents," Lowe said. He cited one retailer's case management system that reported 10% of the known offending population was responsible for 90% of their losses.

"It's these high-impact offenders who are really contributing to all these problems," Lowe said."
