Segregationists are going to test each and every one of you, to see where your heart is at.

If they haven't tested you already, they will test you soon.

Do you know what you are going to say?

@wilpercy @mekkaokereke Nothing to do with today's vote but Costco is a better company than a lot of folks realize. Living wages, good benefits, equity, etc are all very normal for employees; Sam's Club by comparison pays starvation wages and treats its employees like dirt.

@klausfiend @mekkaokereke I had no idea. Thanks. The freezer part of our fridge is still too small to avail ourselves of their generously sized products. Still, their heart is in the right place. Bravo!

@wilpercy @klausfiend @mekkaokereke Costco has a medium sized box freezer for sale that's about $200. It would probably pay for itself within a year (the fresh ground hamburger is $4.95/lb...)
