Congrats to my fellow shoppers who stood up to the nonsense.

I'd hate to infer. But did what?!

Im with Okie, what are you referring to? Im unsure what any of us collectively did that has to do with Mystery Shopping.

I know exactly what he's referring to, and posting it here is in poor taste. -glares-

This isn't the place for this

Last I checked this is GENERAL CHAT forum. I don't have to post about mystery shopping here. I'm not violating any rule. I did not mention any names.

If you don't like it, reach out to the owner of this board and tell them to close my account. Otherwise, move on.

Either way, I. Don't. Care.

You never said what you are referring to.

Spoken like a true MAGA.

And proud of it!

Such a delightful human. Thank you for showing us your character.

I respectfully am not part of the "WE".

The guidelines for General Chat say we can post about any topic, as long as no other rules are violated.

The sanctimonious reactions are hilarious.

They say nature abhors a vacuum. Okie scores one for the community, this post removes one for the community, so we're even. FFS - we're already so divided as a nation, so why not throw another another knife into us as you say, you don't care.
SMH. The rest of us will be over here, busy trying to dig ditches for democracy.

Exactly what knife did I throw? There are people here who see the world as I do. I wanted to thank them. That isn't throwing a knife. The only knives being thrown are at me. But I don't play the victim card like you. I stand strong, loud, and proud. I value myself. I respect others. I stand for the truth, for justice, and for fairness. I'll be a good friend to anybody. I don't care who you are or what you believe. I don't compromise what I believe, however, and I have every right to express it. If it offends you, then be offended. That sounds like a miserable place to live though.

This is God ordained. A billion dollars, bullets, lies, and disdain for others who disagree with you cannot ever overcome that.

Glory be to the Lord Jesus Christ for ever and ever.

I am with you. And we are not alone!

Has anyone seen Allan Lichtman? I hear he can't find his keys.

We can express our opinions. I didn't want to arrive at a conclusion, in case ServiceAward meant something else.

This thread seems like it can be civil, as long it doesn't turn into personal insults, and the thread is moving in the direction of adding a positive contribution. In my opinion, it could be more tactful to foster further engagement. We're all in control of our reactions and responses!

Edited to add: I don't have an opinion on this topic, but wanted to help steer this in the right direction!

Your "we" belongs on a social media rag. I come to this site because it is a safe site away from the craziness and gives me some reprieve. I didn't come on here and gloat when Biden won in 2020. Please do the same.

I don't think ServiceAward was referring to people that think MSNBC is unbiased.

So am I! Now HATE me if you will, LOL!

No opinion? On exactly what? If SA's post belongs on this forum in "GENERAL CHAT" or on your election outcome reactions?

No sermons here, but expose yourselves and be open minded. I think more than the majority of you have "loved" SA, his insight, his experiences, his advice, sharing of information, etc. All of a sudden, his character is being questioned? Negatively, I might add. Not a good look.

I did not come here to gloat. I'm happy to gloat. I can say things like, well, see, I'm not going to do that.

I posted a simple message that is respectful, but expresses my thoughts and appreciation. I did this in a what the moderators have designed a General Chat forum. It seems anytime I post something on this part of the board, I'm attacked because I did not post about mystery shopping. Please.

Again, I ask, what knife did I throw? I can't seem to get an answer. I only hear crickets.

One more thing: What you did or did not do, does not determine what I do or do not do. You made the choice to click into this thread not once, but at least twice. I didn't make you do that. You did. If you do not like something or want to read something, why click into it? In fact, if you do not like me, my thoughts, or opinions, you can hide my posts. It is a great feature. I regularly utilize it.

@Okie I agree with you 100%. Speech is the only thing that advances ideas and allows us to better understand one another. I find we have much more common than not. When we step out of our bubbles, we realize that.

@Madetoshop I appreciate that. If someone who was too afraid to post under their main name had to go make a new account to put me down, then so be it. As long as I'm right with God and the people I'm closest to IRL, what anybody else thinks or says about me is good with me. It just adds to my treasure pile in Heaven.

I agree that ServiceAward can post his thoughts in General Chat. I found him to be helpful and generous with his posts myself.

Myself personally, I don't feel overly strong on vaguely expressing thoughts on the election outcome. Some things may be better left unsaid or differently. But I've posted about other things, where others may not feel strongly about.

Whether someone supports or votes for a candidate, it could be for various factors and reasons. Someone could vote strictly based on party affiliation. Someone maybe be at odds with voting based on tax policy, immigration, abortion, and other items. It could be a response to the performance of the incumbent administration. In my opinion, for those reasons, it may be better left better unsaid, rather than have to further expound.

To satisfy those who would like this tied into mystery shopping, one of the things I am personally going to work on is to suggest a tax break for IC and gig workers. People often take these type of jobs on as second jobs. Maybe they can't get overtime at their main job, so this type of work is really a substitute for it. If we are going to give a tax break on overtime, which I believe is a great idea, we need to reach those who work those 2nd and 3rd jobs. 10–15 years ago those extra jobs were traditional employment. That's not the case today. I think it would be completely appropriate to give IC and gig workers at break on the first 10k-15k of earned income through that this of work.

Ah...fellow patriots, your voices have finally been heard. Now the hard work needs to be completed. But now is not the time to become complacent because a single date has passed. We must hold them accountable. Stay informed from sources that are unbiased.

Be kind to others in your community who may need mental health resources as they lick their wounds. Let the healing for them begin.

Ok. I saw the heading and immediately thought, "Service & Dr.D sittin' in a tree, something, something I-N-G." Let me get the dirt on this!

Boy, was I disapointed!
