They were in the veggie business in NYC I think. The name comes from Southern Italy somewhere.

A branch of the Broccoli family made the James Bond movies until they sold the rights for gigabux to Amazon.

the laptop I’m working on right now cost me $1600 new in March and it is AWESOME. It replaced a Mac I bought in 2016 for $1800. My son uses PCs. He’s bought 4 in the same time period for about $1000-1200 each. Tell me whose computers are most expensive.

“they cannot afford to keep you.” Oh they almost certainly CAN. They just don’t want to.

MegaBux Inc. bought our small ag-biotech firm in 2018. I had developed a high throughput product screening system for natural products against a bunch of animal diseases. The program worked and we identified a bunch of candidates (I also developed the list of things to screen) for botanical/natural solutions to animal diseases. I should have guessed that I was on the chopping block when after finding out some of the things we screened actually worked, I got replaced as PI on the project by someone else much younger. A couple months into 2020 all the folks at the R&D center (including me) got laid off. They did pay severance to us- and mine took me out to October of that year due to my longevity with the firm that was purchased. A couple months after that, a bunch of the junior staff (who were well trained in my methods) got hired back. I was almost 69 at the time, so it was probably time to retire anyway. I was very lucky. This is so familiar! At least I made my stack and can live comfortably on my SS and pensions.

If they unlawfully detained her, they should be prosecuted for false imprisonment and be imprisoned themselves upon conviction

yup, I was on a street so narrow just a couple months ago that I couldn’t pull over far enough to let a firetruck go by. I had pulled over as far as I could. The truck got behind me and I couldn’t move over. SO I just said “fuck it” - and zoomed into the road as fast as was safe and turned off the road the first place I could find.

It is a testimony to Marine training and the DI’s that they got that couch fucking weirdo Vance up to speed enough to be a Marine.

This. I’m guessing the insiders and Mr. Moneybags are observing plenty of evidence of mental decay. Enough to invoke the 25th.

Run Tesla stock prices into the ground. It’s legal and, short of criminal violence, it would damage Elon worse than anything else. Without his money, Elmo Muskrat would just be the guy at the end of a dive bar you avoid because all they talk about is government conspiracies to cover up the fact that Lizard People Aliens are making human lizard people hybrids.
