Constantly Underfoot

@VicMelsky @twistsoflemon @DemzDeliver I knew the brainless socialist failure in life would cry at being blocked. Deservedly so for failing a cogent argument.

@twistsoflemon @ConstantUnder @DemzDeliver If you want people to take your argument seriously, try actually making the argument you want to make instead of just drooling drunkenly on yourself swinging random punches at people who walk by.

🚨 New York Democrats introduce bill requiring 10% discounts on all items at self-checkout.

@JustJenRX @NBCNews Deport them both. - The Kidney is here illegally.

Hey @NBCNews no one gives a shit if he donated a kidney or both! He’s in this country ILLEGALLY!!! And if he wasn’t, ICE couldn’t detain him!!! 💯

@redsteeze And everyone would rather see the 82nd Airborne deployed to Minnesota than Iran. - I think we're onto something.

I mean, Minnesota is a much bigger threat than Iran.

@IngrahamAngle @grok If it's not just willful denial, how much of a mental disability would an individual have to suffer from to make them incapable of seeing that men have an advantage in women sports.

She’s “not educated enough” to know if men should play on women’s teams? My goodness.

@onesmallvoice Countries rarely get a civil war start date ahead of time.

In other words, the manifesto for the apopcalypse.

Walmart annual profit is $21.8 Billion on $706 Billion in sales. 2.9%. - What absolute fucking moron believes they can't accumulate hundreds of billions making 21 Billion a year? - Also, Walmart isn't primarily a Grocery store. - Besides speech being free, so is Google. Research more.

@ConstantUnder @DemzDeliver The Walton family worth hundreds of billions from Walmart famously made all their money on 1% to 3% profit margins. What an absolute fucking moron.

@SenWhitehouse Sheldon's stepped out of the Jim Crow Country Club and into 2020.

I’ve sent four letters now asking why DHS used white supremacist materials to recruit ICE agents. Unsurprisingly, all four have been ignored.

James, thanks for this one at the least!!!!! - The insanity of wanting a 10% refund on an industry that has a 1-3% profit margin was driving me nuts. - It would either 10% increase costs 10% to absorb the refund, increase costs 9-14% to remove all the self-checkouts to avoid the refund, or result in the closing of stores (which NYC may want to promote their socialist version, still though).

Can Democrats just be normal for once? Yes, self-checkout requires labor from customers. But they reap the benefits of quicker, easier checkouts. And no one is forcing you to use self-checkout. This is in no sense the government's business.

So, "in your mind," Corporations are currently ignoring the ability to make 10% more profit while suffering at only making 1-3%? - Those, greedy, greedy corporations could make more 10%, if only there were more gov't regulation putting a knife to their throat? - Do you hear yourself?

@ConstantUnder @DemzDeliver Basically every industry simply adapts to regulation. I can't think of a single industry that was regulated then it killed the industry without a replacement

It's worth the cost savings which has allowed the prices to be lower than without using them. - Every other scenario costs more. - Liberal lefty lemming loons scream "Greedy Corporations," but then ignore the reality that it means they're already working to operate at the lowest possible costs. - This isn't Apple, with 40% profit on earnings. Grocery stores are the lowest of all industries at 1-3%. - Go shop at all cashier-only stores and pay more. Simple.

@iopq @ConstantUnder @DemzDeliver It's worth something and often it's more than 1 minute of time. It's not like they have fully stocked registers with people ready to check you out. They're essentially making you pick

@halfwyhousepoet @Polymarket Grocery stores operate on 1-3% profit on sales. - Dems "Duhoy, give customer 10% discount." - And you think this makes sense?

@Polymarket It kind of makes sense, right? They make you ring up and bag your own stuff, and they get all the savings.

BREAKING: New York Democrats introduce bill requiring grocery stores give a 10% discount at self-checkout for all items for all customers.

More than 50,000 federal employees, $2B in salaries eliminated under Trump in 2025 trib.al/OdaoHEY

First, the stores will have to raise prices beforehand; they know what their profit margins are already. - I, too, already knew how stupid it was, as I already knew grocery stores only have a profit margin of 1-3%. AI was the easy way to show the mindless that it's patently stupid. - Whatever price controls are there, companies will either raise prices 10% (they're not operating at a loss), eliminate all the self-checkouts and hire cashiers (and raise prices 9-14% to account for the increased labor), or close. - They're not operating at a loss. Just stupid Socialist tripe to take over grocery stores.

@ConstantUnder @DemzDeliver U can’t just raise the price of everything by 10%. the 10% is only for self checkout transactions. Furthermore the bill definitely has more provisions to prevent retailers from retaliating Ur the dumb one for running to AI for affirmation. Use your brain moron

@AkilahObviously Explain why you want prices for consumers to go up 10%. - Or was this just a reflexively ill-informed response?

Honestly yes

@BernieSanders Unions spent $1.8 Billion on trying to elect Democrats in 2024. - Gee? Which side is smarter on how they spend their money? - But the worst part is the Union is just spending member money.

Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump. His investment worked. He is now $438 billion richer. Now, he wants to buy Congress by spending $100 million to keep Republicans in control. We must fight oligarchy. Defeat Musk. Preserve democracy.

So, corporations are greedy to make more profit, but will now just stop? - The one thing they won't do his hire more cashiers, which is more expensive than self-checkout. 1. It would require ALL checkouts to have cashiers and eliminate self-checkout entirely, and they'd have to handle a lot more cashiers because otherwise everyone would want a self-checkout for a 10% saving. That would push up prices because it's more expensive, likely more than 10% given the multiple shifts involved and the narrow profit margin of the business. Labor typically costs 9-14% of sales. Or. 2. Companies would eliminate all human checkers, because they'd be vastly underused given the 10%. Job loss and a 10% price increase in cost. Good job. The one thing that won't happen is companies suddenly being willing to sell at a loss or give up making a profit. The reason the current hybrid model of choice exists is to lower the total labor cost of products, and that benefits consumers. -If YOU don't want to do the labor, it's a free country; go stand in line for a cashier.

@ConstantUnder @DemzDeliver They are literally expecting you to labor for free by using self checkout. They are free to hire more cashiers if they want

@midwestjak @DemzDeliver Okay. Someone so stupid as to believe a business can be forced to discount a product 10% when the business operates at only a 1% profit should then be called what, instead? - Only a bot would be so dumb as to argue this point.

@ConstantUnder @DemzDeliver Bots use “stupid” and “morons” as name-calling.

@sherpajahan @DemzDeliver Oh yeah! It's central planning nuts, rights abusive, and property rights confiscatory, but on the most basic level it's just 2+2=10 stupid. - Laws, rights, and destructive causality aside, there's no getting past that level of stupid.

@ConstantUnder @DemzDeliver

And, the simplest way to confirm the operators were given an order to stand down (aside from the fact that operators confirmed it). - The operators ultimately went to save Stevens. There are only 4 options. 1. They were ordered to go. 2. They went on their own without telling the Station Chief. 3. They went on their own and the Station Chief didn't care either way. 4. They were ordered to Stand Down and went against those orders. - In the midst of a political campaign where Obama was being blamed for doing nothing, "Did he take credit for sending them?" - No, he did not. Nobody did. Ever. - 2&3 are obviously unlikely. But Obama, et al could've taken credit for making the effort with options 1-3, just not option 4. - Nobody took credit. #4 is the only option that then makes sense.

For those that still don’t understand what Benghazi was all about: 🚨So here's the REAL story: Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission. Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in Qatar by the CIA. Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy. It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.” Obama and Hillary committed TREASON! THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not. Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo. Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal. So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya. Forward this again and again and again until everyone reads the true story of Benghazi.
