A family picnics in the middle of Costco

I have officially seen it all. A large family decided to bring in their own drinks, sandwiches and chips and have a picnic….. not in the food court… but in the middle of Costco on one of the furniture displays.

The Boss Who Gave His Employees a $240 Million Gift

This blessed my spirit! Good to know there are still some wonderful people out there.

Many business owners who sell their companies for a huge sum will happily walk off into the sunset with their billions. Graham Walker chose a different path.

Graham Walker, the now-former CEO of Fibrebond, told The Wall Street Journal that he would not agree to sell his company if prospective buyer Eaton did not earmark 15% of the proceeds for its employees. The employees didn't own shares in the business. They weren't investors. Their windfall came through a founder's generosity.

To thank longtime workers at the maker of enclosures for electrical equipment, though, he earmarked $240 million of that for bonuses, which resulted in life-changing cash infusions for 540 full-time employees.

On average, The Wall Street Journal reports employees received $443,000. Workers with long tenures received more. Much more. The money will be paid out over a five-year period, as long as the employee stays with the company. (Workers over the age of 65 received the entirety of their bonus and won't have to continue working if they don't want to.)

First time in the past ten years with no over drafts!

I know being poor sucks and no one would look at my poverty as success but I just wanted to share that this is the first time in the past 10 years that I've gone almost six months with no over drafts!! I've come close but I've managed to make the few dollars I have stretch until my next pay check. I'll take that as a win as I continue to figure out how to improve my finances.

Trump falls asleep at Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals game after ruining the experience for fans!

This asshile has the audacity to fall ASLEEP at the NBA Finals after ruining the experience for literally thousands of people!

This is so infuriating…

Monstrously selfish Trump just had to to try to get close to the NY Knicks to try and steal the spotlight, no matter the consequences for anyone else and he couldn’t even keep his eyes open.

The NYPD shut down ALL foot traffic in a huge radius; thousands of people were denied the ability to party outside the stadium and hold watch parties; traffic ensnared for miles and roads closed, people who paid thousands for seats had to stand in line for hours to get in… and he couldn’t even stay awake!

He doesn’t care about basketball or the Knicks!! Nothing sums up the state of America these days than a fat old demented pedophile ruining the fun for thousands if not millions of people just to satiate his own ego.

He’s just the worst!

Avery Wilson’s Star Spangled Banner’s Performance overshadowed by Trump

How disrespectful of the producers of the NBA Finals broadcast to showcase Trump on the screen for a lengthy amount of time while Avery Wilson was performing!!! The crowd booed Trump into oblivion and it totally overshadowed Avery’s beautiful performance!! I felt so bad for this young man. That was not right!

Data Center Operators Are Trying to Fix Their Water Use Problems

The fact that it is possible for a data center to consume 1 to 5 million gallons PER DAY equating to the daily water use of a small city of up to 50,000 is insane!!!! At what point...will these gluttons .. become recognized for what they actually are.. redundant, unregulated investment traps that will leave the communities where they're located, hollowed out and depreciated in the quest for shareholder dominance in an overcrowded market..😡😡😡😡
