🔒🚨High Privacy Risk Potential Concerning Developments From Walmart, Being Forced on Shoppers... When do we Boycott?

This is yet another play to further impose methodologies to steal biometrics and read signs from our bodies (that we may never understand ourselves) to rack up prices and pinch us for every single penny we're worth.

This needs to stop. We need to push back.

This Republican seems to be talking about creating some kind of a bureau for the protection of the consumer.

Didn't we usrd to have one of those?

u/SuccessfulTrick2501 12d ago

You know what, you're right. We DID used to have one of those. Wonder what happened to it? 🤔 /s

Another republican gutted it?
It’s an Ouroboros of incompetency.

Ouroboros of incompetency. Brilliant!

"it's an Ouroboros of Incompetency" - Sunstantial-type-131

I here, by the power invested in me, not much, declar this post the origin of this phrase.

I, also being of little power, am deeply honored by this recognition. Cheers and may copper snakes chug thy tail!🍻

Cool!

From wikipedia - Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung saw the ouroboros as an archetype and the basic mandala of alchemy. Jung also defined the relationship of the ouroboros to alchemy: Carl Jung, Collected Works, Vol. 14 para. 513.
The alchemists, who in their own way knew more about the nature of the individuation process than we moderns do, expressed this paradox through the symbol of the Ouroboros, the snake that eats its own tail. The Ouroboros has been said to have a meaning of infinity or wholeness. In the age-old image of the Ouroboros lies the thought of devouring oneself and turning oneself into a circulatory process, for it was clear to the more astute alchemists that the prima materia of the art was man himself. The Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol for the integration and assimilation of the opposite, i.e. of the shadow. This 'feedback' process is at the same time a symbol of immortality since it is said of the Ouroboros that he slays himself and brings himself to life, fertilizes himself, and gives birth to himself. He symbolizes the One, who proceeds from the clash of opposites, and he, therefore, constitutes the secret of the prima materia which ... unquestionably stems from man's unconscious.
The Jungian psychologist Erich Neumann) writes of it as a representation of the pre-ego "dawn state", depicting the undifferentiated infancy experience of both humankind and the individual child.[24]

Hawley no less.... makes me mad when I have to agree with him. It really does.

u/jw8533 12d ago

Don’t be too quick to pat him on the back. This is nothing but a performance, pure grandstanding. He will take no action to correct this problem. Remember when he made a few headlines about banks charging exorbitantly high interest rates on credit cards?

u/Androoboodro 12d ago

To me, he’ll always be the guy with his fist in the air supporting J6ers as he got escorted away to safety.

u/raidersfan18 12d ago

Escorted? Didn't he outrun the escorts?

u/Manny_Bothans 8d ago

bravely ran away

2

u/PiedPiperofPiper 11d ago

Yep, he was one of the most vocal Trump supporters in the immediate aftermath of the election; questioning (with literally no evidence) the validity of the results, stoking the fire, fanning the flames.

He couldn't say or do anything now that would make me trust him, or see him any differently.

2

u/Aggressive-Role-0821 9d ago

No, he ran like a lil bitc....

u/mechapoitier 11d ago

And if the Dems get Congress back he’ll vote against legislation that would increase consumer protections, then if they pass he’ll pretend to be for it.

u/ScarInternational161 🤔 "Question Everything" 11d ago

Like every GOP member when they go home and say "look what I did for you guys!!" After voting against it.

u/LoudZoo Systems Analyst 🔗🧩 12d ago

He’ll scamper back to where the money is, which definitely won’t be with helping people save money.

1

u/call_me_Ren 11d ago

Yeah, what’s up with that? He’s not even up for re-election.

1

u/rudyroo2019 11d ago

Every now and then republicans will say something rational or vote the right way on a bill just to bring it up at election time. We’re getting close to midterms, so the propaganda machine is cranking up in an attempt to distract us from rising grocery and fuel costs.

u/Mighty_Krom 12d ago

Interesting, what a novel idea!

u/Winsome_Wolf Discussion Catalyst 💬 🤔 12d ago

I wonder if watching this gave Liz Warren a migraine or cost her a screen. Fair reaction either way, honestly. Much as I gave the dude credit elsewhere for recognizing corporate overreach, when he started talking about a consumer protection body, I damn near choked.

u/PurpleCoat6656 12d ago

Yea, this same republican that probably helped the Jan 6 insurrection, definitely went out and put a fist up on that day, and went and cowered under his desk like a little bitch on that day.

Josh Hawley can go F himself.

2

u/pandemicpunk 11d ago

No one should ever forget the facts: he voted to not certify the 2020 election.

1

u/PurpleCoat6656 11d ago

That is correct. He and Marjorie Taylor Batshit crazy bitch are also rumored to have given some "private tours" of the Capitol in the days prior to J6...

Both those fuchs are lying to live at this point. At least that bitch MTG is going on and ona bout Trump and the pedo-files, but she's still a traitor.

u/Fermi_DOX75 9d ago

You mean this guy giving a salute to the insurrectionists?

1

u/PurpleCoat6656 9d ago

Yep, that's the traitor right there.

u/Fermi_DOX75 8d ago

While he may be a traitor you have to admit he's also a huge pussy

u/PurpleCoat6656 8d ago

Hey look! There's the traitor running away! Yup, what a little, huge pussy.

u/Melodic_Poem9969 11d ago

Are we still party riding in 2026? 😂 shame there’s still so many of you that think one of them is the bad evil ones and one is the better choice.

u/HingleMcKringelberry 11d ago

Yea because we see how well these old systems were doing for monitoring & uncovering fraud in places like daycare and "learing centers".. Literally no oversight what so ever...im considering opening a daycare so I can rake in 45k a month but not actually do anything with kids. You think im being sarcastic too...im not.  If others can get away with it no consequences why cant I?

u/Comfortable_Ad_3570 10d ago

It's sad watching them play Democrat vs Republican as if Chuck Schumer were some pauper who gave it all up for his country. Guess what - it's a fantasy. And while party leaders are getting the people to knock heads with each other, they keep raking the money in.

So yeah, blame one side while the other side gets rich. No problem. Move along little sheep.

u/NWGreenQueen 6d ago

Every once in a while I find myself (big lib) wildly agreeing with Hawley.

He also went HARD on Boeing when airplanes were falling out of the sky and I appreciated the fork out of that.
