Trump’s EPA Delayed Pollution Safeguards Ahead of Deadly US Steel Explosion

Residents of steel communities say fence-line monitoring for dangerous air pollution must be mandatory.

Randomly decided to try a Dragon Ball Z energy drink.

This one was "Warrior Power" and is allegedly citrus flavored.

It tastes like something a person who had one Sprite 20 years ago (and no other citrus beverages since then) would make and call citrus flavored based on their old memories of Sprite.

Meh. Wouldn't get again.

I always stated that I'm addicted to Coke Zero. I never took anything else, and in bars that only had the US competitor, I ordered a juice.

But since the fascist actions of Trump, I moved to non-US brands. And I find that my caffeine fix is just as easily satisfied with Coke that costs half the price.

It was meant as a temporary political statement, but when Trump is replaced, I will wonder if I am still willing to pay a 100% premium to get the 'real' thing.

This is for anyone that orders #Coke at #McDonald's...

Did you know that McDonald's is
required by #CocaCola to keep their syrup and fountain drink water <45F? (The CO2 is already quite cold.)

This is to minimize any "head" (or frothing) when the drinks are poured and to provide a positive guest experience.

You do not need to order "ice" in your soft drinks. The liquid in your drink is already quite cold the moment it comes out of the machine.

The only thing ordering ice does is increase McDonald's profits since less volume of drink will be dispensed and you will still be charged the same amount of money.

Source: One of my good friends back when I lived in Atlanta worked for Coca Cola in IT, but regularly worked with the group that managed their strategic partnerships.

Also, it cost McDonald's (back in 2015) $0.012 per "large" (32 oz) drink of fountain Coke. This included the product and the cup (which Coca Cola subsidized McDonald's costs to have them have the "Coca Cola" branding on them.

Of course that was back in 2015. I'm sure they cost a little more now. But we're still talking maybe what? $0.05? $0.10? At most? Including cup + product?

Remember this the next time you see the price for a large fountain drink of Coke at McDonald's.

[…] but cash don't allow you to send million in the other side of the world without being able to follow, and cash is not anonymous, as it relatively easy to track […]

I have bad news for you: Those services do exist and either way one would have to provide plausibility of the source of funds.

There are #Narcosubs filled with millions of #cash to pay for the millions in #coke they offloaded in the #EU.

  • Even if one could pay rent, utilities, fees, fines, taxes and expenses with #Monero that wouldn't mean that one didn't have to follow #bookkeeping and other regulations.

Just like if I were to try to buy a condo I'd be asked "How did you finance it?"

Trump posts on Truth for the brainless red-cap disciples, James Quincey (the guy who wants to be CEO) jumps and kisses Trump's butt, and launches a new Coke variant (Quincey's laughing stock edition) with cane sugar; but corn syrup will still be used. Trump does nothing for free. If Coca-Cola needs cane sugar, it has to be delivered. Prices for cane sugar and corn syrup will change rapidly on the stock market. Who earns and who loses? Follow the money.

Well, at least we still have that other special passover coke. 🕺 :lion_of_judah: 🕺

"A uniquely #American #Passover tradition could become a thing of the past, after President Donald #Trump announced that he had successfully pressed #CocaCola to change the formulation of its signature drink in the #UnitedStates.

“I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in #Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so,” Trump wrote on #TruthSocial, his social media platform, on Wednesday. “I’d like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You’ll see. It’s just better!”

Such a change would obviate Coca-Cola’s special runs for Passover — and the fervent searches that some kosher-keeping Jews undertake to secure the scarce “#yellowcap” bottles of Coke that result."
