Another good company
Most corporations are PUNCHING you in the face with Official Satanshit about the "virus" coup AND the "racism" coup at the same time.
Grotesquely horrible PUNCH from USBank, based in Bezosville:
Our commitment to community: As we work to address racial and economic inequities, we’re continuing to support customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
It's getting hard to find businesses that just want to do business.
You can't get away from banks and governments, but you CAN find plain old non-forcible businesses in other areas. Good companies are so rare that it's important to USE them and BUY from them and spread the word.
I saluted OtrCat.com and Ebay last week.
New good example:
Nuts.com.
Barley is the staple of my diet since I switched back to vegy in 2010. Before the "virus" coup I could always find it at Safeway. Since the coup it hasn't been entirely missing, but I can't count on it. So I decided to buy in bulk. Tried several smaller online retailers, but all of them were PUNCHING me in the face with "racism" shit. Finally found Nuts.com, which is a larger outfit with a variety of products. Good price, easy buying experience, and above all NO propaganda. Lots of cheerful promotion of their various products, which is EXACTLY WHAT A BUSINESS SHOULD BE DOING.
Nuts.com is CHEERFUL, a quality we need desperately in this hellish time. It doesn't matter if the cheerfulness is automatically generated; it's still almost unique. Nobody else even bothers to
generate cheerfulness. I already ordered more stuff, coffee this time. Trying to minimize store trips and preserve my health as much as possible, now that the stores and the bus force me to wear a suicide mask.
Advertising of actual products is beautiful. Propaganda is ugly.
Later after cooking and eating a few packages: The barley from Nuts.com is much better than
Goya, and also
somewhat better than the Safeway house brand. The grains retain their structure and cook up consistently plump and chewy, with less starch and 'glue'. I don't have to rinse as much before storing.
