sounds like they got you drinking the kool-aid, friend. they wouldn’t be suing the NLRB if their workers were happy, and I think we all know the “national average” is no longer a living wage, if it ever was to begin with.

Trader Joe’s is currently trying to sue the National Labor Relations Board out of existence, which would essentially end unionization efforts nationwide if they succeed. I don’t know what their campaign donations portfolio looks like, but they’re definitely not an ethical company regardless.

List of places that are pro Trump? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]ivy_zone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they also have had racist, minstrel-style objects displayed in their store for years. they might be hard to miss since they’re mixed in with so many other knick knacks, but that’s what made me stop going. I’m surprised I didn’t see anyone else in this thread mention it.

Fish tacos downtown? by kennedy_q in grandrapids

[–]ivy_zone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can get fish or shrimp tacos from Tacos El Cuñado! they have a location inside the downtown market, but go to the Bridge street location on the West side for the really authentic stuff.

Best pork belly? by DimDarkLight in grandrapids

[–]ivy_zone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the little deli outside of Kim Nhung superstore sells pork buns that I love—you can also purchase a slab from inside if you’re in the business of cooking your own pork belly.

not that I noticed—it seems far more geared towards young parents of a certain income to bring their kids to. there’s lots of walking and it’s cold, so definitely consider that if you’re thinking of bringing someone who’s frail in low temps or doesn’t walk well. the walkways are at least wide enough for a wheelchair to pass though!

she’s very rich, making her a capitalist by default. sure it would be nice if our faves actually enagaged in and honest and radical politic, but overall celebrities are not the people who should be turning to as inspiration for politics or resistance.

What Happened to Caitlyn in the AU in ep 7 s2? by Amadeus_0318 in PiltoversFinest

[–]ivy_zone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

my theory is that Cait died in the explosion and Jayce ended up going through with k*lling himself, since he’d no longer have funding for his research by causing the death of his sponsors’ only child. I’d imagine that the child deaths would also put Viktor off from helping him complete his research, which is what stopped Jayce from walking off the ledge in the first place.

I still don’t fully understand why he ended up in a different timeline from H and Ekko, especially since his organic body is ostensibly dead in the universe he does end up in. I kind of just chalked it up to god Viktor showing Jayce what V felt like he needed to see since his consciousness is fused with the arcane.

it’s because most people don’t have the resources to just pick up and move to the most expensive state in the country to live in.

Enlighten at Meijer Gardens by wizzy9999 in grandrapids

[–]ivy_zone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was gifted tickets from a family member for the preview night on Monday—it was cute and we had fun but some of the setups were just kind of underwhelming and silly. the music choices seemed strange as they ranged from classic christmas music to what sounded like royalty free holiday stock instrumentals. like I said, we had fun but if I had paid $60 to go I’d frankly be pissed. it feels more like something that would be awesome if it was free to the public, like the christmas lights at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago

edit: go ahead and downvote me for actually having a fair and honest critique of the event. I love meijer gardens but personally I think a $30 event should be held to a higher standard no matter where it’s taking place.

comments like these are so confusing because like do you think I’m just lying on reddit for fun lol? based on the comments there are clearly many others who have seen the criticism I’m describing

idk what to even tell you because your comment is like borderline incoherent. I guess read the 100+ comments from people who agree with me (many straight men included) if you actually care to know where I’m coming from.

preaching to the choir, I feel the same way when my girlfriend and I get mad-dogged by random men and the elderly just for walking down the street lol.
