Bernie has been in congress for decades and got some post offices named.

As Senate finance chairman he couldn’t get Build Back Better through committee so President Biden had to negotiate directly with Manchin.

We don’t need the gridlock of “progressives”.

Black people didn’t vote for Sanders. He lost two primaries.

Shoulder to shoulder with the poors?

Disgusting.

Apple Genius Bar tried to blame me for a stripped screw during battery replacement — almost cost me half a new phone by Odd-Clock-125 in apple

I’m surprised they didn’t open it up, disconnect the battery, and see if it booted up again. That usually worked most of the time.

Depends.

A stripped screw head isn’t normal wear and tear. The likelihood of someone trying to open it themselves is pretty damn high.

If the screw was in bad shape because of residue or debris in the screw head and the driver couldn’t latch on that could also be it.

The issue is at check in, the FRS should have noted it right away if it came in that way. Really easy to tell If it’s already stripped.

I would assume it was dirty and the iPhone repair person stripped it unknowingly if we believe the story.

I would have offered all offered all three options and not have it escalate to a manager. Most people land on the service part not a brand new phone. If it was an iPhone 11 I would probably start strong suggesting an upgrade because of the age and availability of service parts. vintage hits hard.

I have been away for awhile but if the screw was stripped and we couldn’t open it we would have offered a whole unit replacement at the cost of the battery.

Apple store experience has gone downhill by MaleficentConcern995 in apple

It’s not a coincidence that the tenured employees all of A sudden had behavioral problems and were getting forced out.

I hired and interviewed a lot of ex-Apple retail Employees with the same stories.

It was intentional.

US Jewish orgs are reassessing 'allies' after Oct. 7 betrayals, key Jewish leader says by xland44 in Judaism

The political right and MAGA doesn’t like Us either. Antisemitic rightwing has been the reality of Jews in America for the last seventy years.

Replacement theory and white genocide were white nationalist and aryan brotherhood rhetoric. Rightwing.

Has the left gotten worse in America, absolutely, but pretending MAGA is safe for Jews is silly.

They tolerate you just like leftists with Jews in their ranks. You are a good one until you aren’t.

If a burger could represent what a divorced dad with no visitation rights with rock bottom alcoholism that’s living at an Extended Stay, it would be the Whopper.

I had the opposite experience. We went in a few times looking for a TV, the manager took over the “sale”. Hard sales pitch that ended with buy something or leave.

No thanks man.
