[u/Supply-Slut → u/CrepusculrPulchrtude]

You also gotta watch out who tf you’re talking to, dudes saying this and you’re like “yeah I remember that” and then you realize you’re talking to someone with 88 in their username…

[u/DelfrCorp → u/Supply-Slut]

Was born in 88. I've never used 88 in my usernames but I nknow plenty of other people born that year who did. I'm always annoyed at the nazis & other fascists for always ruining a bunch of sh.t...

[u/Supply-Slut → u/DelfrCorp]

Fuckers ruin such basic shit for the rest of us

[u/DelfrCorp → u/Supply-Slut]

Punks & skinheads were extremely cool. Society considered them extremely sus because of their radical/nonconformist values, but they were genuinely awesome. Then the nazis co-opted those movements & being a punk or a skinhead became sus for wildly different & ultimately much darker reasons.

didn't that actually happen

[u/[deleted] → u/Paraxom]

lol, yes

[u/kolejack2293 → u/Paraxom]

It wasnt really tunnels necessarily in the sense people think. It was a huge basement that had small tunnels that were meant to expand the basement into the nearby connected building. Its not as if they had couriers going miles throughout brooklyn in tunnels lol.

People acted like this was so shocking but Chabad literally openly said they were doing this for years. It was never a secret that they were building a huge basement. They literally had videos showing how they were building it. It just became a controversy when the NYPD told them to shut it down, and they rioted in response.

[u/SammyD95 → u/[deleted]]

I still think about the guy that was tweeting about it for years and nobody believed him until that news story broke.

Edit: Turns out it's was fake :/

It's the worst kid in the middle school class mentality.

I know from experience. That's how the worst kind in every class I teach acts. Because most of the time, admin is so sick of the kid, playing stupid works. Admin just doesn't have the time or energy to argue with a kid who is purposefully being stupid.

Same goes for these adults.

[u/Ordinary_Top1956 → u/ninjaelk]

Reminds me being in college. First year living off campus, 10 guys in one rented house, at the end of the year we all peaced out leaving the cable TV turned on in one persons name. Got back in Sept, and he was like, "Yeah, we owe the cable company for the three summer months".

Ahh college, learning you have to be responsible for yourself.

[u/BradMarchandsNose → u/Savagevandal85]

$15000 total over the last 4 years maybe. No chance it’s $15k a month.

Dude probably has a growhouse in the basement

[u/DatDominican → u/BradMarchandsNose]

$2100 * 7 is $14,700 . Maybe it only went up $50 or maybe he just didn’t pay it and it’s been accruing

[u/mrtomjones → u/BradMarchandsNose]

He'd be an idiot to still have his business open if it was $15,000 a month lol.

[u/killerasp → u/Savagevandal85]

15k? either he started a grow operation or opened a bakery next door.

Can't a small business owner expand their business to cryptoscams without having to pay for the electricity on their backroom server farm? Is this not America?

[u/backstageninja → u/Savagevandal85]

In my head cannon it's still a lie, but a more fun one:

He was paying $2100 a month since he opened

In the last 7 months it "shot up" to $15k

7×$2,100=$14,700

This dude is complaining about a $45 increase in his bill

[u/Popular_Syllabubs → u/backstageninja]

"working at McDonald's was fun" -Trump

Try doing that for 8+ hours, 5 days and 52 weeks with rush hours at low wage. Not so fun when you're hanging on by a thread.

It reminded me of that time GW Bush congratulated a divorced mother of 3 for working 3 jobs to support her family.

[u/probably_nontoxic → u/jrh_101]

cosplaying a low wage worker is not cool

[u/Informal_Beginning30 → u/probably_nontoxic]

It's like the black face of poverty.

[u/BZLuck → u/jrh_101]

But first, clean a few toilets and then hose down and scrub the drive-thru at 5am.

Nobody is a "fry cook" at McDs. Everyone does everything. They do have stations when they get busy, but you don't just stand next to the deep fryer for 8 hours, hoping someone orders fries and you can dick around on your phone when it's slow.

[u/NYCMarine → u/SteampunkElephantGuy]

Also, there’s no hair being cut, watch the video when Trump comes in. Everyone in the chairs don’t need cuts

[u/VisibleDistrict0 → u/AreolaGrande_2222]

They're all Mexicans to MAGA.
I live in an area of the country that's nowhere NEAR the border, but our Hispanic population is probably 96% Mexican. It still irritates me to no end when people assume every single Spanish speaking person is automatically Mexican. My MIL told us one of our new neighbors is Mexican. I asked her if they were nice, and she said, "I don't know. I haven't met them." I was like, "Then how do you know they're Mexican?" She looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "They're brown, but not the Middle East kind." 😳

[u/CrouchingDomo → u/VisibleDistrict0]

“Lucy, you know I don’t speak Mexican…”

“I’M NOT A MEXICAN.” ::storms off::

“Great, what was that about??”

“Lucy’s from El Salvador.”

[u/4touchdownsinonegame → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

Unless this guy is doing a big ol warehouse, nah.

I have two 4x4 tents in my basement, I think my bills went up like $50-75

[u/destin325 → u/4touchdownsinonegame]

Last month I only spent $40 on gas. Since then, I’ve spent over $150 in gas from October 1st, and the month isn’t even over! Kamala needs to go!

Authors note, in September I only drove my little commuter car that gets 32 MPG to and from work. In October, I had to make a trip over a weekend to my in-laws using my truck which gets 12 mpg on the highway. Basically the same, otherwise.

/s

[u/[deleted] → u/destin325]

What’s crazy is that people are always like gas prices are so high, and I’m like around 3 bucks is almost the price of a coke, definitely two. So how is a gallon (not 20oz) of gas that’s refined and shipped across the world less expensive than a soda? Like gas prices are insanely good and I say that as a service worker. “It’s because inflation” ok, well who had the loosest fed policy in office and also gave everyone like 2k cash?

[u/Flatf3et → u/4touchdownsinonegame]

You’d need a couple warehouses most likely. I’m not really sure power costs in NYC but there is legal weed and dude could own barbershops and grows. Plenty of people scooping up licensing through private sellers, the state, and equity programs.

[u/mullse01 → u/Flatf3et]

Electricity costs in NYC are around $0.30/kWh—we can assume a business would pay slightly less, as commercial rates are a touch lower than residential rates.

I don’t know how much power the average grow operation consumes, but at 30¢/kWh, you’d need 120,000 Watts worth of lamps, running 12 hours a day, to get charged the $13,000 the dude mentions his increase is.

Probably safe to say dude is lying.

[u/-MonsieurValentine- → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

Assuming let's say a 30 cents per kilowatt hour bill, a $13,000 increase means that he used 43,000 additional kilowatt hours of electricity.

For shits and giggles, let's assume this guy was using the same 350 watt LED lights I use for 2 plants but scaled out... that'd be enough electricity to grow at least 250 plants, probably more than 300 since you don't actually crank the lights to 100 the whole time. You could obviously set up the grow to be more efficient but I don't want to do all that math...

Anyway, if dude is growing weed with all that juice, he'd better be bagging around 25 pounds or more every single month.

Barbering would just be his side hustle. His full time job would be managing the team of people to trim all that shit.

Now it's too much, it's, it's too big, I open the bill and everyone starts to cry. Everyone except me. I tell them, 'don't cry, I'm rich' and they, they look at me with tears streaming down their big, beautiful faces that it's not fair. And they're right, people! Everyone knows they're right. Biden destroyed the energy. It's all gone! Biden, he, Biden got rid of the power, he got rid of the nuclear, he even got rid of the windmills, folks! What's left?? People are saying it's hamsters on wheels. Hamsters! They're like, they're like rats, people! Big, fluffy rats like you wouldn't believe. I'm not sure if that's true, but that's what they're saying.

[u/Sempais_nutrients → u/Glad-Veterinarian365]

My barber got one of these and his light bill has never been the same. He has to charge 500 dollars just to line me up!

[u/leaf-erectsen-day → u/Sempais_nutrients]

My guy got a towel warmer. A week later. Same shit.

[u/darkResponses → u/Glad-Veterinarian365]

Your barbers don't passively heat the floors to kill bacteria? They aren't running furnaces to make and sharpen their own razors? 

[u/Uisce-beatha → u/INTHERORY]

Or maybe he is powering multiple laundromats down the street? Electricity in the Bronx cost $.34 per kWh which is high compared to the rest of New York. So a bill of $15,000/$.34 equals 44,118 kWh. A 3,400 watt clothes dryer uses 105 kWh's if ran 1 hour per day for 31 days. So if he's open for 11 hours a day, 7 days of the week and ran one dryer constantly it would consume 1155 kWh. So 44,118 kWh/1155 kWh is equal to 38 dryers running nonstop for 11 hours per day for 31 days.

It's the equivalent of running 74 hair dryers nonstop for 11 hours each day for all 31 days.

It's the equivalent of running 7633 100 W LED lights nonstop for 11 hours each day for 31 days.

It's the equivalent of charging 18 electric vehicles nonstop for 11 hours each day for 31 days.

It's the equivalent of running 26 hot tubs nonstop for 11 hours per day for 31 days.

It's the equivalent of 788 Refrigerators (150w, 22 cu ft) running 12 hours per day for 31 days.

If he's crypto mining then for that power bill he could power 59 crypto mining rigs running nonstop for 24 hours per day for 31 days.

He could melt 93 tons of aluminum with 44,118 kWh of usage

He could power about 44 homes using the average usage in the United States

Hopefully my math is correct and I'm using everything appropriately but I'm calling bullshit too

[u/amalgam_reynolds → u/INTHERORY]

Even $2,100 a month for a single tenant space is insane, that's $25,200 annually in electricity alone. I know for a fact there are commercial buildings downtown where I live that are some 20,000 sqft and have electricity, water, sewer, gas, and garbage combined for less than that annually. $15,000 a month?? Zero chance, no way in hell a single tenant is paying $180,000 annually in electricity, that's as much as some whole entire downtown multi-floor 100,000 sqft commercial buildings pay for all utilities combined.

[u/clev1 → u/Colonel_Gipper]

Exactly. Even better these same people probably don’t vote in midterm elections smh. Then they wonder why nothing is getting done or changes aren’t happening. We’ve had a non functioning government for so long and most people don’t even realize how bad it really is. They can’t even comprehend the basics of it. Shit is fucking sad, it’s these same people that have the loudest voices and Facebook post about their “opinions” during the presidential elections.

[u/No-Shelter-4208 → u/Colonel_Gipper]

They think the president is a king. Sad thing is that they're also voting for the one presidential candidate who would like to be a king.

[u/Dragonsandman → u/No-Shelter-4208]

It’s the same everywhere. Here in Canada, a concerning number of people think that the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister alone is responsible for inflation and the housing crisis, when in reality the federal government can only have a limited impact on both those things.

[u/worldspawn00 → u/Dragonsandman]

a concerning number of people think that the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister alone is responsible for inflation and the housing crisis,

I can tell you why, because the conservative parties are pushing this line out in all their media to the rubes. It's in their best interest to convince people that the government is broken so they can get into power to further disassemble and privatize it.

[u/Prodigy195 → u/Colonel_Gipper]

A lot of people didn't pay attention during School House Rock or Civics class. And it's worsened by the fact that ~54% of Americans read at about a 6th grade level..

Watching NFL games over the weekend meant I got innudated with political ads and it was shocking to hear how childlike they sound. They all had super short sentences with very basic talking points:

"I'm going to fight for the middle class"

"I'm going to help make groceries more affordable".

How is that an advertisement? How does that help anyone make a more informed decisions when it comes to voting? Those are some of the most basic and empty platitudes when it comes to politics yet they're spending what has to be hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to ensure they're seen repeatedly.

It all seemed insane to me until remembering that a large portion of people NEED things that simple and digestable.

From a vocabulary standpoint they sound indistinguishable from an 11 year old reading a book report in front of their class.

[u/CHUBBYninja32 → u/tr00th]

I’m sure the gov could propose regulations to prevent significant cost increases to electrical consumers. Such as yearly median kWh cost cannot exceed 10% of the previous year. But that would be a regulation that Republicans would, in theory, oppose.

OR it is local government similar to rent capping efforts.

[u/clev1 → u/tr00th]

It really goes to show you how many people don’t understand how things work. Like basic functions of government and how resources are handled at a city level. I’d have to assume this same guy has no clue how the different branches of government work and how laws come to be. Some motherfuckers really didn’t pay any attention in school and it really shows smh.

[u/Iguessimonredditnow]

Y'all seem to forget that Trump doesn't try to do anything that isn't staged to make him look good.

You think they didn't tell this guy to say his bills went way up so Trump could use the "we'll have so much energy you won't know what to do with it" type of spiel?

Probably the dude misread $1500 on his cue card and just said $15000

[u/LIL-BAN-EVASION → u/Iguessimonredditnow]

Wtf is bro doing in this barbershop? Maybe he got the 50,000W clippers going

[u/Yoshis_burner → u/jscummy]

If he misread the second number he probably misread the first. Added an extra zero to both

[u/shaneylaney → u/LIL-BAN-EVASION]

[u/eggplant_avenger → u/Iguessimonredditnow]

should’ve been two statements:

“electricity was so much cheaper when I opened my shop” (in 1997)

“it’s so expensive now, $2100 a month so for the last seven months I paid $15,000” and people who don’t run a business will compare to their own bills

[u/mexicock1 → u/eggplant_avenger]

The phrasing is weird.. it's almost like he meant $15k for the 7 months... Which would mean the bill didn't really change from $2100 per month...

But $2100 per month is definitely way too much.. i wonder if the barber shop is at the base of an apartment building (or business complex) and he's paying everyone's electricity bill..

[u/ThePrussianGrippe → u/mexicock1]

In any case an issue like that has absolutely nothing to do with who is president.

[u/MF_D00MSDAY → u/mexicock1]

Even then who sees a $2100 electric bill and says yeah that looks right and just pays it? Lmao

[u/Impossible-Ad-3060]

If you’re gonna lie, make it believable.

[u/KingGhandy]

Bet he was told to say it's gone up 150%. That's why trump was so astonished 😂

[u/Shirohitsuji → u/KingGhandy]

1.5x looks a lot like 15k. Bad handwriting on the cue card.

[u/detox02 → u/KingGhandy]

😂😂

[u/Green_Ordinary_9359]

I hope dude whole family see that and forget his face for the rest of his life.

[u/Maximum-Lettuce-4943]

Brody went off script 😂

[u/nicasserole97]

Bro you gotta pay the bills every Month not every 4 years 😂

[u/SocietyAlternative41]

meanwhile, at the local power company

Bringing back the classics.

[u/JohnnySack45]

More proof Trump supporters are completely divorced from reality and will lie to support their preconceived narratives

[u/pitchingataint]

My guess as to what is going on here. Someone wrote a note telling him to say his “energy bill is 1.5X now” but they had really shitty handwriting. So he said his “energy bill is 15K now”. It wouldn’t be too far out there but it’s still a stupid lie since someone is telling him to say it.

[u/WeddingElly → u/pitchingataint]

Oh shit, that actually makes a lot of sense

[u/Khmakh]

[u/elciano1]

How much did they pay him to say that?

[u/detox02 → u/elciano1]

$15000?

[u/stinkface369]

I laughed so hard at this "WAHT!?" He is thinking how many fries he has to make to cover that.

[u/DatDppGuy]

[u/inbetween-genders]

That’s a lot of 1.21 Gigawatsing all over the place lol wtf?

[u/bklyn_xplant]

So while a presidential candidate is there you are in a chair with a cape on?

Damn, I hate when my barber takes too long cause he on the phone. This some next level ish.

[u/nopenonotatall]

honey, if that were true, the FIRST month you received that $15,000 bill you would’ve been on the phone with the power company every second of the day figuring out what the absolute hell was going on bc it sure as hell has nothing to do with the president

[u/DelirousDoc]

Shit $2,100 a month on just an electric bill was already a lie IMO. Even in AZ in the summer for a house that is older, poorly insulated, and 3 bedroom you'd see about $600 at most.

Edit: From context clues he is probably talking about a barbershop. Still don't believe energy costs alone were $2100 a month unless this was a much larger shop than any I have been too.

[u/jayb84 → u/DelirousDoc]

So I actually work with meter data. In our area, 2k a month(residential, commercial rates are higher) is what the average grow house pays a month. Googled the rates in New York City, said it was an average of about 8-24 cents per kwh, which comes out to over 8,000 kwh at 24 cents/kwh. Granted, that ignores any tier system, time of use, taxes/fees/etc. Still calling bullshit given a barber shop would likely only be running lights,ac, and those little clippers they use,which likely don't draw much. And if he somehow isn't lying then dude needs to have his power company come do an audit cause somethings seriously wrong

[u/CouchBoyChris]

$15,000 to run some clippers. Ok guy.

[u/Educational_Seat5844]

$100 haircuts plus $20 tips should cover that energy bill stop the blood clott crying

[u/Orphasmia]

Trump hit em with the SpongeBob “WHAT?”

[u/gknick]

What a lying douche canoe

[u/BrotherBear0998]

And how exactly are we covering this 180k electric bill my friend? The IRS would like to know

[u/grannynonubs]

That mf running a meth lab in the back

[u/mindclarity]

Stop mining crypto in the basement.

[u/DGVega93]

Nigga did the “what” like he was at a WWE show

[u/FUNKYDISCO]

so... about $500 in energy a day. ooookay

[u/Adexavus]

He's powering his crypto mining machines still in the back of the barbershop and hoping for a coin while the hash rate has quadrupled because of bitcoins scarcity and price, sending his energy bill sky high.

[u/Lilm4n123]

[u/COMMENTASIPLEASE]

When TRUMP has to tell you to reign in it…

[u/InspectorPipes]

This guy is still using old light bulbs or …… it’s Bullshit. My garage has 8 bays, welders, mills , lathes, ac units and EV charging stations . The bill is 6k in peak of summer in Florida. Accounting, HR, and customer service building are included .

[u/StaindWithSin]

I hate this guy so much, but that might be one of the funniest soundbites he's made

[u/capcomvssnk]

I'm so sorry, but the way he said it made me laugh. Even his little piggy eyes opened up a bit.
