Redditors and writing fictional stories about their enemies 🤝

It is really odd to me that you can't go to the Dr Pepper web site, enter in your zip code and have a list of stores, vending machines that sell it retail or restaurants that have it on the fountain.

I just figured they would have that function.

Every generation thinks they weren't annoying kids

Anyone that believes this is a fool 😂

80% of the product consumed maybe, not 80% of unique product choices.

23 hours. The end is nigh.

It just gets tiring hearing people whine about something that they either A: Were not a part of and didn't live through it or B: Don't even know how far back you need to go to get true gritty Richmond charm. It's like RVA MAGA or some shit.

That's hardly true. First of all SAB is no longer a corporate entity. AB-InBev sole 'craft' ownership in the state is Devils Backbone. MolsonCoors zilch. Sapporo bought Stone but i am unaware of any other corporate acquisitions of local breweries in the same fashion. Constellation bailed and sold BallastPoint in Roanoke back to craft ownership.. A far cry from 'more often than not'

They know they deserve to be covered in dog shit and they're terrified of that day

Out of those three sectors, financial is the only one that has the potential to drive big CoL increases. IT and manufacturing aren’t particularly high-paid industries, and manufacturing plants (and the people who work there) are almost always located far outside the city limits.

Very true on Lombardy Kroger. Their produce is just trash, so I generally opt to add a few minutes and go to Carytown Kroger. The others work out to be the same, if not longer than just going to Carytown (15-17 minutes). It would be lovely to have something clean and within a 5 minute drive, but I’m not holding my breath.

Do unions like this choose to endorse candidates by a collective vote of all union members, or is it a decision made by union leadership? It seemed like a pretty boneheaded move on the union’s part given that it resulted in the loss of a major polling place and probably suppressed turnout.

Probably accurate, but I don’t editorialize titles.

Just posting it here so people know that, despite attempting to put a serious effort into these elections, Republicans haven’t exactly given up on elections in blue districts and they can only win when Democrats get too comfortable and think they don’t need to vote.

RVA’s COL is below the country’s average, and I don’t see that changing any time in the foreseeable future.

Portland and Austin both became tech hubs, which is what drove up COL in those cities. Richmond doesn’t have anything that is particularly attractive to large tech companies.

No need to cross the river. Theres a few Food Lions (Hull St Rd, Jahnke, Forest Hill) a Kroger near Chippenham Hospital, and Publix/Target/Walmart all on Forest Hill.

Shoot, the Lombardy Kroger is closer to Manchester than the Carytown if you still feel like dealing with traffic across the river.

First of all, people die from more than just old age or illness. Second, replacing a deceased representative isn’t really about maintaining a balance of power between two parties, it’s about ensuring that all constituents in every district have full representation in government.

Yup, 3 companies control something like 80% of the beer market in the US. Of course that's the same for almost every product these days. The illusion of choice is keeping the country from realizing that almost everything we put into or onto our bodies is owned by a shockingly small group of companies and people.

yeah. I didn't really think holding it at the IBEW would have been a conflict, but I respect the being careful

I'd assume so. Can't remember if his seat is one of the ones in play for redistricting though, that's what got Adams to do the hail mary

it probably skewed blacker and older. But that's not exactly a bad sign for Bagby in a bigger election

for all of them... So yeah, it's a meaningful data set. Not so much at 50/50, but the blowout, yes

it is, but that's not just the issue. Though I look forward to seeing some sort of city vs county breakdown. The online left is very vocal, but every study and poll and election shows it doesn't get elected

not going to happen - which is why all 3 ran now. You add incumbency and Bagby is a sure fire win, even with a changed district.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see someone run against Bagby, as long as it isn't Adams or Rogers. I think he's the best of that lot

I thought she had a pretty good chance. In fact, I wouldn't have bet on her, but I would have said it was 50/50 between her and Bagby. So I was shocked she was blown out of the water so epically
