Looting at whole foods? Oh, the liberal dilemma!

I do not think the downtrodden masses shop at Whole Foods. Does Whole Foods accept the EBT card?

[Verginius Rufus]

I was being sarcastic about the downtrodden masses. I have never been inside a Whole Foods store, so have no idea whether or not they accept the EBT card.

One of my memories of Berkeley (from 30+ years ago) is seeing posters in support of Socialist Albania. This was after the Red Chinese had deviated from the true Stalinist gospel when they went "capitalist road" in economics. I'm not sure who those people would look to now--Cuba? North Korea?

Loved my time at UC Berkeley about 35 yrs ago. Things were still the Peoples Republic but hard science kept the scum bags out of my hair/life...and now they’re burning shit down for their last hurrah I hope. Sad to see how far the racist president on down has created such anarchy, he deserves a full military coup if Africa. Maybe all haters can be shipped to Liberia again...oh and the illegals...we need to take care of that madness because our tax dollars will pay for ILLEGALS to have the American dream while we slave for them?
Makes sense right? RIGHT?

LOL. I was being sarcastic too. I’ve never been to whole foods because it’s where the vegans etc...shop. I just can’t imagine them 1) being a looting target (WOOHOO! FREE TOFU!!) or 2) accepting the EBT card.

He's probably correct. After all, the agency known as NRO was top secret until the 1990s. Nobody knew we had that capability. These days, if a orbiting camera sees you pull out a pack of cigarettes in the parking lot they can read the surgeon general's warning.

Police eventually moved protesters away from the cars, one of them damaged by fire.

Unfortunately, I assume they mean one of the cars, not one of the protesters.
