Amazon Go, the tech giant's cashierless store concept, is ready for its move to the suburbs. The company is opening a new Go store in Mill Creek, Wash., on Tuesday morning, which it says will target customers living in suburban areas. Like its other Go stores, customers won't need to visit a cash register when they're ready to check out. They grab what they need and leave.

Why isn’t “Woke” Bezos opening these in those ghetto food deserts first? The Community could use his contribution to their quality of life more than suburbanites. Where’s your sense of equity and equality in your business?

The perfect vehicle for the State to track our every move and I'll bet it has a feature that records when we visit the restroom and EXACTLY what we did inside. Trading privacy for convenience? No, thanks!

No interest. Whole Foods a nightmare whether the smaller older jumble or the fancy new multistory one with the grocery cart escalator.

I was going to post what #1 already did, but then I realized that nobody can purloin anything because it's 'rung up' as soon as a customer puts it in a basket. The question will be whether the store will let a shoplifter escape if they can't cover the price, or will they hold them and press charges.

Punchbowl offers a big preview of This Will Not Pass, due out on May 3, and of Pelosi’s disgust with her caucus and the White House.

ATLANTA (AP) — When Democrat Stacey Abrams first ran for Georgia governor in 2018, her lackluster personal finances and a hefty bill from the IRS gave Republicans fodder to question how she could manage a state budget when she struggled with her own debts. As she launches a second bid this year, that’s no longer an issue. Abrams now says she’s worth $3.17 million, according to state disclosures filed in March. That’s compared with a net worth of $109,000 when she first ran four years ago.

The Walt Disney Co. has lost nearly $63 billion in market capitalization since it decided in March to embrace radical LGBTQ activism and declare war on Florida by opposing the state’s Parental Rights in Education law. Shares of Disney have plummeted 23.5 percent since the start of March, falling from $145.70. Market cap is down $62.6 billion, from $265.3 to $202.7 billion. For the past 12 months, Disney has seen its stock drop more than 30 percent, making it the worst performing stock on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Disney’s free fall comes as the company has embraced woke, far-left politics, specifically the exposure of young children to radical LGBTQ ideology.

Portland Public Schools plans to provide free menstrual products in both the boys’ and girls’ bathrooms as districts move to comply with an Oregon state law for “menstruating students.” “Starting next year (2022-23), products will be available in all restrooms (male, female, and all-gender) in every PPS building where education occurs,” said the April 19 memo titled “Update on PPS Implementation of Menstrual Dignity Act.” Last year, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown signed HR 3294, which requires K-12 public schools and universities to stock bathrooms with tampons and sanitary pads at no cost to students to give them the “opportunity for safe, dignified self-care.”

Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court case involving a 2018 Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks, addressing whether bans on abortion before fetal viability are constitutional.“Will this institution survive the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?”
