So BRICS?

No. Most people round to the nearest whole number and often just pick a direction to round.

Since no one does math in their head anymore the total is always more than they expected. No calculators on shopping carts anymore either.

Ha! That’s what they want.

Now add the sales tax. And don’t forget about bag fees and to tip Tippy.

People suck at math and this is how they confuse people into not caring what the actual price becomes when they have to add multiple items together.

What’s 19.99 + 21.75 + 4.99 + 3.99 + 1.99? Can the common person do that math in their head while grocery shopping? What about adding the tax to that total? Not a chance.

Most people probably don’t even know what the sales tax is in their own state.

Recycling was the big lie the corporations forced down everyone’s throat. They shifted the blame from those who produce plastic products to those who consume them. They slowly replaced all packaging materials with plastic in the name of convenience and saving money and weight.

Later, when recycling was deemed not be effective enough and the corporations needing a new scapegoat, They rebranded and green washed everything. Now every corporation has a mission statement than includes their commitment to environmental responsibility. While in the background they’re selling their carbon credits and laughing at gullible people who believe the current bullshit they pass off as environmentalism.

Oh, we can’t do that because they pay for politicians reelection campaigns.

Okay then, let’s just destroy the environment for a few more decades.

Ya think?

dollar. As per the deal, 95 per cent of the $260 billion worth of trade will be settled in yuan. The remaining 5.0 per cent will be settled in Ruble and the Euro.

Hah ha. Russia gets less than 5%. Less than 13 billion. Get fucked.

Seems like a power play for China.🇨🇳 The next stage is the Cold War is upon us.

And cheese. And all dairy products. And eggs. Etc.

This cannot end well.

Inconceivable!

The company has pledged to make 100% of its palm oil supply deforestation-free by the end of 2022 and for its operation to be net zero by 2040.

By their logic, after 20 years the same land will be deforestation-free since they already chopped all the trees down.

When you run out of shells and ammo, you tend to lose.

Yup. The data was encoded on the back of the plastic disc. So long as the “label” surface wasn’t scratched you can resurface the bottom.
