Banks, Bigotry of
And here I thought those banks didn't want to handle Paypal accounts because the function of a Paypal-linked bank account is to process pennies and never have a balance worth stealing for 24 hours at a time. We need a law. Money-handling services must not be allowed to display "attitudes" toward customers. Any evidence of personal feeling, good or bad, in handling other people's money should get them shut down. Paypal should not know or care whose transactions it's handling. Nor should your bank, if you use one. People who handle your money should give no room for suspicion that they know if your mother once gave them a failing grade, much less what your religion, politics, or other personal affairs might be.
Food Service, Lessons in
Hooters Girl wants her old job back again? Well, cry me a river, Bimbo. News flash: Most people who want to eat in a restaurant want to eat with someone else. Most people who want to eat together in a restaurant go in pairs or small groups that include women. And women do not want our food to have been handled by other women dressed in what look like the gym suits my class protested having to wear in high school, grinning and chattering at our dates, thank you very much. Here's a vote for food servers dressed in black from neck to wrists and ankles, taught just enough English to whisper "Your order, Sir/Madame," and required to wait in a corner for customers to summon them as distinct from interrupting customers' conversations. I don't care how cute or deserving they are, I don't want my dinner date talking to or looking at any other female. Hooters should have known that and not tried to build a brand around having inappropriately dressed women "smile and joke" with male customers.
No link, because the story's at nypost.com, an obnoxious site fouled up with obtrusive ads. But I'm tempted to try to link to an old song about a jealous woman who shot her cheating boyfriend and the "honey," which I used to like, although aunts traditionally hate it, for the line, "She said, 'Stand back, all you cheapies'..." I think that has to be a lot of women's opinion of Hooters Girls.
Humor, Immature Male Sense of
In an English wildlife park, a Siberian tiger, which is not an English species and shouldn't have been there, attacked a young man. The attack was fatal. Someone at the White House posted the video of the attack in the President's name. Howls of outrage arose. The White House "Truth Social" consultant then replaced it with a computer-generated video of Trump playing with the tiger.
Guys will be guys. Guys probably don't belong in the White House, but I did chortle...See the blatantly fake video of Trump hugging the tiger at
