I wouldn't trust anything on the street. It's not a question of absolutely safe/absolutely not safe. If I had to bet money on which is statistically more likely to be safer, I would bet on what comes from a licensed pharmacist directly into my hands vs. buying something from a person on the street.

It's a big gamble. It always has been and always will be. Black markets are driven by expediency and profit, full stop. Safety does not enter into it for black market businesses.

Selling a curved Samsung 65” 4K TV.

Full disclosure: it has two light spots that are noticeable in some scenes and not in others. They popped up months ago and I’ve just dealt with them. Haven’t gotten worse and more haven’t appeared but no clue what the cost is to get it checked out. Still a super solid tv, I just got a new to me Samsung and don’t need this size in the bedroom.

Comes with stand, power cable and remote. Looking for $250 OBO

I don't care how much I trust anyone, if it's not in a prescription bottle they get legitimately I'm not trusting it. Way too much sketchy shit out there now.

....they are off street but tested for fentanyl. I just posted here cuz I figured someone may have heard something about them in the city and knew if they were safe or not...

how could anyone possibly answer this question?

Are you insinuating that he is a drug dealer, a pill thief, or has his own script that you are using?

if you are getting drugs off the street it is a decent idea to test them for fentanyl.

And to not post about it on reddit.

I once thought I needed a new transmission because there was an awful clanking coming from it at certain speeds. I took it to Weaver Transmission and told them I thought the transmission needed to be rebuilt. The next day they called to say it was just a chassis brace under the car missing a bolt, causing it to rattle at certain speeds.

They charged me like $50 to tighten it when I was fully prepared to pay them thousands to rebuild the transmission. So I'd trust them for transmission work even though I've never actually needed them to do any for me.

Bullshit. They pass laws lowering standards and move the goalposts. Ex: Why attract and hire more subs when they can force current teachers to give up planning to watch classes? Planning we need to make lessons and grade and do IEP work and do PDs and and and. This kinda shit is rampant. They aren't incompetent. They are very intentional in not spending the money. Teacher and administrator unions are not the baddies. My union spends half our time advocating for changes that would be of benefit for students mainly. Because teachers and administration give a shit about students and we are often some of the only people catching systemic issues. So it falls on us to advocate for solutions. Your black and white understanding of how the world works is failing you spectacularly.

You definitely haven't actually been involved with a union if you think that, except maybe a police union. Employees need other protections than just pay, and employers rarely give out substantial raises without collective bargaining, and are also empowered to create unsafe working conditions and discriminatory environments without someone to tell them to piss off.
