CEO EATS HIS OWN PRODUCT… AND WON’T RAISE THE PRICE
Costco’s CEO is going viral for sitting down and eating the $1.50 hot dog combo -
a price that hasn’t changed since 1985.
Same deal.
Same combo.
Still $1.50.
He’s even said the price isn’t going anywhere as long as he’s there.
That’s not just business…
that’s a decision.
You ever actually tried the $1.50 Costco hot dog… or just heard about it? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@M_Simonyan Yeah, those bridges are arms smuggling routes across the Litani, they were hit before and they came back to finish the job. if they wanted to kill him, trust me they wouldn't have missed.
Our correspondent Steve Sweeney has been wounded by an Israeli strike in Lebanon.
He says an IDF plane fired upon the car carrying Steve and his cameraman, as they were crossing a bridge in the south of the country.
Both men are conscious in hospital, doctors are diagnosing extent of shrapnel damage.
War journalists are not legitimate targets.
We pray for them.
@BowesChay@SweeneySteve Yeah, those bridges are arms smuggling routes across the Litani, they were hit before and they came back to finish the job. if they wanted to kill you trust me they wouldn't have missed.
My close friend and colleague Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve is nearly killed by an Israeli strike in Lebanon.
Their vehicles are clearly marked as Press. They wear Press markings.
He's alive. What more can we say.
@kusha_alagband It hurts to read this. No celebrity speeches, no Greta, no UN emergency sessions. The only countries actually trying to stop this madness? The US and Israel. And they're the ones getting criticized. Sad.
At midnight, the regime raided 18‑year‑old Melika Azizi’s home and dragged her to Lakan Prison in Rasht. She’s been beaten, cut off from her family, and sentenced to death. In court she looked the judge in the eye and shouted: “You’ve spilled the blood of so many young people, how can I stay silent? It doesn’t matter to me, kill me too.” This is a teenager whose “crime” was courage. We can’t let them execute her in silence. #MelikaAzizi#StopExecutionsInIran
@AlinejadMasih@realDonaldTrump 19 year old wrestler executed for protesting in Iran. No celebrity speeches, no Greta, no UN emergency sessions. The only countries actually trying to stop this madness? The US and Israel. And they're the ones getting criticized. smh
Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔
After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite.
Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial.
Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal.
I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices.
This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.
@__Injaneb96 19 year old wrestler executed for protesting in Iran. No celebrity speeches, no Greta, no UN emergency sessions. The only countries actually trying to stop this madness? The US and Israel. And they're the ones getting criticized. smh
The Islamic Republic has launched a new wave of executions, taking revenge on its own people after being humiliated militarily by the U.S. and Israel.
This morning at dawn, 19-year-old wrestler Saleh Mohammadi was executed for taking part in the January protests.
We are begging America and Israel to destroy and stop the Islamic Republic’s killing machine.
To the whole world:
This is the real Iran. For years and years we all lived like this. You cannot ever imagine something close to what happened to us.
Don’t look away. I know. It’s brutal.
