Why Are There Suddenly So Many Car Washes? Fueled by private equity and a subscription-based business model, the auto wash industry is flooding the US with new outlets. Some towns and cities have had enough.

Top three responses by most likely, in no particular order:

Private Equity investments with hope of being prized real estate.

Investment with hopes of being converted to a charging station.

Private Equity with tax writeoffs and hope of being a stake in future water rights claims.

Who knows.

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

Sounds like Miller

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time.

The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical.
Thinking it isn’t is.

Right?! I'm still pissed we were scolded for demanding recounts in 2024. I KNOW they cheated. No fucking way he won every swing state.

Well of course Republicans can't win if they play fair and not cheat. That's why Little Mikey swore him in so fast, we're not as stupid as they think we are!

If I recall correctly, Elon was very recently at the White House. Shortly before the election. Hmmmmm

Do it before someone "accidentally" deletes the voting data like in GA after the governor election.

No wonder he was sworn in so quickly

Yes!! Those numbers in percentages did not add up. Why do you think little Mikey wants to swear him in so quickly?

Election Fraud is the GOP strategy for 2026 and 2028. Beware.

Everyone in TN 07 needs to demand a recount NOW!

America, once you have rid yourselves of your corrupt, shit stain President & his sycophants, you really have to overhaul your entire electoral system. This includes your constitution which was once a shining example to the world has been so easily violated + integrity of all arms of govt.

Election fraud by Republicans? Yes, they cheat! We should have recounts any time a Republican wins. We should have had a recount when Kamala Harris lost. She was a shoe-in and yet Trump won.

“As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.” Nope! Johnson REFUSED to swear in Grijalva for 50 days!

Politics can easily show hypocrisy.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

If his conviction is overturned, he CAN NOT be executed.

Louisiana has a long record of convicting and sentencing to death people later found to be innocent. In the past three decades, the state has exonerated 11 people facing execution, among the highest such numbers in the country

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

Why does the DOJ want private, unreacted voter data. It can only be for nefarious purposes. I'm glad this SOS is not complying with the request. Will other states follow her lead? I sure hope so.
