Hi all, Kroger, who owns PNW home grown Fred Meyer, is closing stores in Pierce and King Counties. Tacoma, Everett, Redmond, Lake City, and Kent are losing their stores. These stores are more than grocery stores, they are huge and sell all kinds of stuff like house wares etc. You might remember that Kroger tried to merge with Albertsons. Albertsons is a Boise company that bought Safeway. Both of these are very prominent in the WA/OR area. The merger was a big deal around here. Most were happy it didn't happen, myself included. The reason these stores are closing is mostly due to crime and to a lesser extent the lousy business climate here in WA with higher taxes just imposed. https://www.king5.com/article/money/business/fred-meyer-closures-spark-debate-over-retail-theft-and-community-impact/281-3e096ce2-5193-49e2-b6f7-3198e3ccd6d3 https://www.heraldnet.com/news/kroger-to-close-fred-meyer-store-on-evergreen-way-in-everett/ https://mynorthwest.com/local/fred-meyer-stores-closing/4122284 Kroger is closing 60 stores across the country. I believe that the stores price their items so they can remain profitable. Theft robs them of their profit and eventually of our ability to shop there when they eventually close. mspart

The map companies use lat and long to place the land masses appropriately. So what is a better way to represent a globe on a 2d piece of paper? And keep lat and long in straight lines and easily discerned? mspart

My son lives in DC and there is so little crime he warned us not to ride the subway, funny things happen there. mspart

So people starving in the an area controlled by terrorists doesn't make you wonder? No, you assume it is the neighbor next door that is sending the aid and then preventing the aid from getting to the intended target. This is nutty thinking. mspart

Show me where this is wrong. 2+2=4pi/pi You have Harvard President plagiarizing her papers. It is not that far fetched that scientists fudged data. Remember Cold Fusion? mspart

I guess the lefties are on to something else since this got zero traction. mspart

Recently got back from UT visiting my son and my sister. Both are doing well. They live right on the Wasatch front which is incredible to look at . To be able to see that everyday coming out the front door is just heaven on earth. mspart

That is a good one!! Here's one my brother in law told us. Flat Earth Society - It is gaining recognition around the globe. Thank you thank you, I am here from time to time. mspart

Who could look at a world map and think that Africa is small. Way bigger than Australia and Europe and South America and North America. Only Asia would be bigger. Crazy mspart

There seems to be a correlation. My friend who worked and lived in Saudi Arabia lived on a compound for expats. It was a nice place and the elementary school was off the compound but right across the street from the compound. They all drove their kids to school even though it was just across the street. Why you might be asking yourselves? Well, there were Saudi men waiting just off the school grounds that would sexually abuse the boys and the girls. I was shocked but he swore it was true. mspart

I'm sure they have other sources of income. mspart

When you believe news sources that have been shown to continually and maliciously falsify their reports for a political advantage, I'd say the degree of gullibility on your part out weighs most of the free world. Israel has shipped 1.3 million tons of aid. Where is that aid? What happened to it? Apparently the Gazans are not eating it because they are starving. What say you? mspart

I have no doubt there is starvation in Gaza. Why is Hamas not feeding them or arranging to feed them. You would think this would be the top consideration for them. But I heard a top Hamas official a year or two ago asked a similar question and he said that the Palestinians are not Hamas's responsibility, they are the UN's responsibility. https://cis.org/Rush/Hamas-Official-Protecting-Civilians-Gaza-UN-Refugee-Agencies-Funded-US mspart

That is just so crazy ..... It just might work!!!!! mspart

Kid Rock and Redd Foxx. Both do it apparently. mspart

The lady asks a good question in that video. What is the motivation for the police to record crimes as lesser crimes? The answer is crazy. Effectively they are falsifying official records which in DC (and everywhere else I'm sure) is a crime. mspart

2+2=4pi/pi mspart

Unconscionable. mspart

That is an amazing stat. Wow! mspart

Yeah, this I believe. And yet you have time to chime on here all day long. mspart

Yeah it was in the sense it seems to be moving away from the US And away from Bermuda. mspart

So far it has been mostly a nothing burger. Its all about climate change. Climate change caused to in increase in strength and to decrease in strength. Good all around omni boogey man. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/climate-change-increasing-risk-rapidly-intensifying-storms-hurricane-e-rcna225568 mspart

Cav - I usually like your posts but this went too far really. mspart

It is generally accepted that when we have something "important" to do, we fare better than those that have nothing "important" to do or nothing to do. The definition of "important" is up to each individual and what drives them. Continuing work is one, volunteering another, tutoring another, etc. Retirement can end shortly if the retiree is not engaged in something more fulfilling than sitting and watching TV. We need a purpose or we languish and/or die. Plenty of people out there with no purpose, but they are languishing and not fulfilled for the most part. mspart
