I had a look at that site and what makes me wonder is the title "VP of
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion"? Do businesses in the U.S. now require
someone to tell the employees how to treat customers? Or other
employees?

The U.S. seems to have become a very strange country, or perhaps
"weird" is the word.

Their motto is:
"Fake news you can trust, delivered straight to your inbox!".

The Babylon Bee seems too close to reality for me to distinguish
between comedy and reality. If this is also your problem, take the
quiz and see where you stand:
<https://babylonbee.com/quiz/the-bee-or-not-the-bee>
Hmmm... I only got 2 out of 10 questions correct. I should probably
read the satirical news articles more carefully and more often.
However, it's easier to not read the Babylon Bee and not worry about
it.

Babylon Bee is a satire website.

Which is a rough business now because the nation is so
convoluted today that as Vicki McKenna notes, "We are beyond
parody."

lol...sure thing skippy - the black population of the US before the Civil Rights Act was exemplar of the the 'nuclear family'.

Meanwhile, andre the stain basks in the largess of his own government:
https://www.msn.com/en-ie/money/other/social-welfare-ireland-200-bonus-to-be-paid-this-week-to-certain-recipients/ar-AA1agwx4

€200 doesn't do much for those of us who have reasonable incomes from contributing to society, but I'd imagine it goes a long way for someone suckling off the government teat like you.

You might want to stick to criticising your own back yard, stain-boy.

https://www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/ourview/arid-41149939.html

You remember....that's the newspaper that not only fired you but proceeded to purge anything you ever wrote for them from their archives. Now their taking on not only your hero, but you homeland in one swipe:

"Many countries, particularly in Africa, view his contribution as baleful and a significant factor in extending the rule of apartheid, to a point where South Africans now lament the fact that Nelson Mandela was released at least five years too late, and that the consequential limits on his vigour and reconciliatory powers led directly to the chaos which now threatens to overwhelm the continent’s most influential country economically and politically."

"chased by south african death squads" indeed.....lol

I used to really like that web site; it's great when stuck
on telephone hold. But there are few updates now but I
assume the variety and breadth of Wal Mart shoppers has not
actually changed.

I can only comment from reading the "news" but I do have to agree with
Vicki (whoever that may be)

Along those lines I read that you can now convert your "classic car"
(some call 'em "Old Bangers) to Electric. Won't that be wonderful?

"Well, lets see... we had to change the wheels and suspension 'cause
the batteries in the back seat are so heavy. and of course there's no
gear box any more - all electric you know. ... BUT! The steering wheel
is original!" (:-)

I avoid Walmart except when traveling. When we're on vacation, we
sometimes find it's the only store in town.

But as I recall, the shoppers look much more like the people on that
website, and much less like the ones in Walmart advertisements.

It's a hobby thing, a technical challenge taken on as mechanical (or
electro-mechanical) art.

In principle, it's no different from someone taking a 1930 Model A and
making it into a hot rod with a 400+ cubic inch V8.

Or for Andrew's benefit, giving a 2nd generation Corvair a mid-engine V8.

But Frank, haven't you noticed that Walmart prices are a lot lower than those of other stores? How much money would you have to save before you would be willing to shop with people from outside your social class? Maybe you should try to concern yourself less with distinctions in social class.

That's the Afro-Irishman' claim to fame. He took what he described as
the best bicycle in the world and added a cheap Chinese motor. I seem
to remember his excuse was that he was getting too fat to pedal up a
hill, or some such story.

Wow....way to make assumptions about someones character.....I avoid Walmart because I don't like their employment policies and political associations. And before you go off on a rant about how ineffective that is, I'll leave this for you to consider:

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/nov/30/breitbart-news-kelloggs-advertising-boycott-alt-right
https://www.businessinsider.com/target-bud-light-boycotts-working-social-media-culture-war-2023-6?op=1

I'm still not going to shop at walmart if I can avoid it, regardless of any baseless assumptions you choose to make about classism. Funny how you right wingers keep hammering Frank for "sticking his nose in other peoples business", then you try class-shame him, fucking hypocrites.

Seems to depend on how you do it, ie if you put a 700hp engine plus
batteries into a morris minor which is what sub 50hp? Then yes your going
to need better brakes/suspension and so on.

If you use a motor plus battery more in line with its original design then
you don’t need to, as far as I’m aware.

There is a mid wales place who do both ie hot rod or sleeper type plus
something rather more sympathetic.

Ish E MTB are for example quite a different beast to ride than a motorcycle
or moped, lot due to weight, also why E - MTB (lite) are a thing ie E MTB
with weights close to acoustic MTB which give a bit of help.

My friends have some E MTB doesn’t feel like riding with motorcycles just
slightly fitter riders.

It means they can ride on longer distances ie daft stuff that I do! With
out being absolutely done for!

The actual problem and the source of all of the arguments here is the entire misperception of the Stupid 4 is what their actual social class is. Frank believes that because he lives in an all white neighborhood that puts higher in the social class. John hasn't lived in the USA for almost forever but without any hesitation will tell you all about it, Liebermann is a sick old man who is dying a piece at a time but believes that having a college degree means that he has a legacy to leave behind. Flunky is just realizing that he is so replaceable that the simplest AI could replace his with no pause in production.

The entire Democrat social structure is designed to take everything these people have away from them and that fear turns them into nothing more than slaves willing to do anything to retain the present status quo while at the same time it is being jerked right out from beneath them.

Right. Guys do that but it doesn't make any sense to me. For
about the same cost we already have Fieros which actually
handle very well.

I said nor implied nothing about "social class." Whose dog whistle are
you responding to?

Furthermore, I haven't noticed that Walmart prices are lower, because -
wait for it! - I don't shop at Walmart. And anyway, I pay essentially no
attention to prices. Unlike some posting here, I can easily afford to
buy what I want without whining.

I object to Walmart's practices of screwing employees in various ways.
Also, going back many years, I was told (by a fellow engineer) how
Walmart "whipsaws" suppliers, using semi-extortionist buying practices.

Shop where you like. But try to engage your brain before posting.

For the Corvairs, I think it's the "sleeper" ethic.

Come on now, Frank, be honest: you don't shop at Walmart because, on a social basis, you don't happen to approve of the people who shop there. You save about 20% by shopping there, compared to the food chain stores, so there really can be no other explanation except snobbery for your insistence on spending more money elsewhere, no matter how much money you have.

I feel privileged that I can shop were I feel comfortable. Is that snobbery? Strange.

Well, there's certainly nothing wrong with shopping where you feel comfortable. But is there any social difference between shopping in Walmart and Safeway or Albertson's or Luckys aside from Lucky's being neater by a small fraction.

I have to agree with William that Frank shops where he does for the same reason that he lives in the all white neighborhood he does - he is a snob who doesn't want minorities around him and he believes that minorities shop at Walmart. Remember that during the Obama Presidency, the Stupid 4 were declaring anyone that didn't like Obama as racists rather than people who didn't like Obama's silly policies. And it has since come out that this group who were hollering names are exactly what they were calling others.
