Do You Take Snap?

 

The actual store 

This shouldn't anger me. But, it does. A new grocery store opened up in New York City called Meadow Lane. It's a store for people who don't mind spending $15 for a container of raspberries. If you watch this video which follows an influencer who walks around picking up a few items which easily fit into a small tote bag, then pays over $130, you might understand why the owner of the store is not getting a warm welcome from the 'hood. The owner, Sammy Nussdorf, who oozes elitist ice balls, was once making loads of money in finance but got tired of making money so he opened up a store where only people making loads of money can shop. Apparently, customers have been lining up around the block for their chance to get in. Hey, it's new. People love new things. It gives us all a reason to wake up every morning- something new to look at. 

I'm all for people making money and if shoppers want to spend $15 for the same product they can buy at the Jewels for half the price, you go, bros! (A voice in my head says, "A fool and his money are soon parted.") Nussdorf claims he has received death threats which seems rather odd to me. "Hey, Imma gonna make you swim with da fishes youse keep selling dem tomatoes like they lobsters!" 

 According to Ammy (link above) many of the customers are influencers who were invited to stop buy, shop and give an "honest" review. I'm assuming they received a discount the little people won't enjoy. As for the regular people, they don't seem impressed. A woman who critiqued some of the more popular items, so you don't have to, was quite underwhelmed. Just looking at the store, it screams, "Not for you!" When I walk into a grocery store I like to see an abundance of delicious and colorful food, not a measly selection of outrageously priced products surrounded in beige. 

So- why do I want this guy to fail? Bigly fail. Well, one- he comes off as an asshole. I don't understand his weird interview where he said he decided to exchange making big money with making big money. If he had said he likes fruit, or likes selling pretty cupcakes maybe I'd like him. Nah, probably not. It's his cockiness, his self anointed self righteousness that brings out my completely unfair and biased reaction. I hope his fruit shrivels and the gluten free bread turns green with mold after the sugar dust settles and people realize they need to pay rent, or realize they could buy ten apples for the price of his one. I hope he fails because I don't like to see people being robbed, even if they don't seem to mind. 

That's a great thing about living in this country. You can go for the moon, or you can be a dumpster diver. What a country.

I'm going to try and keep track of this, just to see if people really go for this.

An Empty Vessel

Image
He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

Image
  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
