It is a store without exterior signage in a plaza with like 35 stores, all with exterior signage. I am growing obsessed with this place.

i am very convinced that its a direct response to late-stage capitalism keeping us from buying homes. nobody is buying the home that they want, so they settle by buying or renting a home they dont want, and making themselves look and feel good with a flashy truck that they can store stuff in.

I feel like I’m going crazy. He is from Africa, and of south Asian descent. How hard is it to understand something beyond ‘80 years in the same county’? If he never left Uganda he could say the same thing, African and Asian! But people just repeat it, they don’t care.

He has an alarm set on words like ‘dictator’ and ‘king’ but you can definitely get him with a word like ‘ruler’. “How satisfying is it, after a term of democrat and rino obstruction, to simply react and rule for the American people?

This is so much better. He is roundly hated, one of trumps best friends in nyc, and the store is without a doubt the worst chain of any kind in New York City, which specifically preys on old people who prefer not to go far.
