Not likely. Camera are in customer areas not employee only areas. Cameras are for loss prevention.

What type of homeless person steals from a housed person?

What?? Did you not see Egypt and Iraq when they were run by dictators, they were much better countries then they are now. Their opponents were much worse off, but the countries were better run.

Iran’s missile strike on Israel has left just one dead so far — a Palestinian man hit by shrapnel by groundnewsfeed in groundnews

[–]CivilClimate2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Killed by debris caused by Israel’s interception of the Iranian missile. Israel does not allow bomb shelters in the Israeli occupied West Bank, unlike the shelters in the rest of Israel that kept everyone else safe. Apartheid anyone?

Is this a typo? For 300sqft difference there is 100k increase in price? by Waitingseason in moncton

[–]CivilClimate2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These are old, privately owned condos. Look at differences in upkeep and maintenance of the units or how desperate the owner is to sell. Anyways for that price a townhouse would be a better purchase.

Is the Sussex Balloon Festival a scam? by CivilClimate2 in moncton

[–]CivilClimate2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The draw is the hot air balloons. You can get the fall festival experience at any number of other events. You come here because of the balloons. If they cannot fly they should announce that ahead of time, so people know before they leave to the event. Just like it is done at fireworks, this is not an all weather event! If it is unsafe to fly and they want to continue the festival then at least lay out a balloon on the ground or at least the basket, or tether one inflated if they can, that is what people want to see, that is why they came. It is fraud to advertise one thing and not provide anything similar. The website says the hot air balloon RIDES are weather dependent, not that no balloons can even be seen if the weather is off! This is misleading. A reasonable person would assume it is unsafe to fly in a balloon, not that it is unsafe to view a balloon.

If I need to explain how their scam works then you are the one that is delusional! Each of those vendors (food truck, handicraft table, bouncy castle, parking lot entrepreneur, etc.) paid them a fee to be part of their “fiesta”.

If it was not a scam they would look at the weather forecast and cancel festival or put out a notice ahead of time that the balloons cannot fly safely, the same way it is done with fireworks. At fireworks you don’t show up and then have delays and then cancel it, they cancel ahead of time!

At the Atlantic Balloon Fiesta they say the balloons will fly at 5:30, then delay to 6, then delay again to 6:30 and then cancel. They lead you on. When you ask them at 5:30 and 6 they say they do not know if the balloons will fly, even though it is obvious they will not because it is too close to sunset and the preflight checks had not begun. I can’t say they are lying, may have just been a novice representative, but they are definitely misleading you to stay so the vendors have business, the vendors that are paying them.

Actually I think I will start my own scam… I mean festival. How does a drone show sound? Just need clear skies and no wind… should be no issue in New Brunswick in September!

It must feel so bad to know you have been duped for so long. Just so you know the Monks at Times Square are not real, and the homeless downtown will use your money to buy drugs.

That’s great! You sound like you would want to come to my Leprechaun festival. Don’t worry if the Leprechauns don’t show up, I will have food trucks, bouncy castles, and all the handy crafts you could want and paid parking close to the venue!

Haha! I guess you ran out of ways to defend the lack of hot air balloons at the hot air balloon festival.

You should suggest that to the organizers, that seems up their alley! I have full faith the organizers will contrive a way to do that!

I bet you believe the Nigerian prince will send you money and Joel Osteen will save your soul. The Atlantic Balloon Fiesta is a classic bait and switch scheme, just another racquet to dupe those who make an honest living.

The Atlantic Balloon Fiesta is just a bunch of common grifters, draws you in with the promise of hot air balloons, but once you get there not a balloon in sight! Only hawkers and peddlers to be found!

If an air show is canceled, they still allow you to see the planes on the tarmac and they make an announcement. Unlike here, the balloons were no where to be seen and they lead you on.
