Walmart forces manufacturers of products being sold in their stores to use expensive recyclable and/or biodegradable plastic in their packaging, BUT for their store brand items (Great Value, Spring Valley vitamins, etc.), they specify that the absolute cheapest plastics (PVC) be used.

Multiple oil companies agree to shares in particular wells they drill. The main driller agrees to share cuttings with the partners. At least two majors provided cuttings appropriately labeled, but not from the well they said they were from. Some of the partners found out and said nothing.

The US military is the most bloated, inept, unprofessional, inefficient and incompetent organization there is. Other governmental LE and intelligence gathering organizations (FBI/CIA) are almost as bad. Folks who believe in all these conspiracies that the government supposedly pull off, have no idea. The JFK assassination was spearheaded by the mob, the CIA would have screwed it up and let it leak out by now.

The success of our military has much more to do with overwhelming force and resources than leadership or fighting skill.

but the liquor industry might be the bullshittiest of all.

Almost all vodka is distilled at an industrial level and simply bottled and marketed by the companies you’re familiar with.

A huge percentage of the bourbon consumed in the US comes from one supplier in Indiana and is bottled and distributed by the companies you’ve heard of.

I’ve got a ton, particularly about seafood; but I’ll just throw one out. Most salmon and tuna that you consume has been treated with carbon monoxide.

Oh, and nearly every food processed with additives contains an “acceptable” amount of carcinogens.

When a pill falls on the floor in a pharmacy, 99% of the time they just pick it up and dispense it.

True.

Ist week - 90/10 split
2nd-3rd - 80/20 split
Then 70/30, depending on the interest level.

It never goes below 60/40 in favor of the studio.

True for mom and pop places. I spend $400 every two months for someone to break it down and clean. Hourly employees only do the basic cleaning

Eta: the soda nozzles can get pretty bad if not maintained. The real threat is the menus. Everyone touches them eith hardly anyone washing their hands properly and then the menus not being sanitized often. Everyone likes to blame the food for poisoning bit never the poop fingers that were there before you

Same. Our ice machine is pristine. The most consistently nasty equipment in restaurants that I've found is soda fountains. Particularity inside the dispensing nozzles. We take them out and soak them every night but a lot of places, mostly smaller places, but also some large operations with poor management, don't.

God I wish I could share some details about the project I have been working on. Just a complete shite show, baffling decisions by the military every step of the way and a gross misuse of taxpayer money.
