2016 US Presidential Election Thread

I think it would be really cool if instead of throwing out food at grocery stores and restaurants it could be regularly given away. Even at some places employee's aren't allowed to have them unless they pay for it. Wish I knew why it had to be that way.

Liability.

If someone gets sick from tainted food or if they had an allergy to some element of the food, then they have a viable lawsuit.

I don't think all "thrown away" food is spoiled or contaminated. I work at a Grocery Store, and we usually throw away "damaged goods". Stuff like dents in cans and chipped plastic from caps on stuff like bottles. These are perfectly good, eatable, if not healthy products that are simply thrown away for not looking 100%. A dent is not going to ruin the vegetables or soup in the can, a scratched bottle cap doesn't ruin the water or dressing inside. Like, just as another example, if we accidentally damage a club pack of pop cans, as in, the cardboard gives way, we just throw away all of the perfectly fine pop cans inside.

There's no need for that kind of waste really. It's more applicable to stores than restaurants.

[Kublai Khan]

Not saying anything more than a very small minority is tainted. But if it is, it's a massive financial loss if the sick person sues.

Reading this article about the GOP race has provided me with a lot of laughs.

That settles it. It's going to be Sanders vs. Kasich in the general election. Take it to the bank.

I actually did not know this and that's very good to know. Still, Botulism is quite rare, and a dented can is only contaminated if the dent creates somekind of an air opening.

Spoiler: nightmare fuel

Does the fact that Trump have a huge lead and is trusted to "fix" the economy mean that the rest of the GOP field is horrible or the GOP base are morons?

I worked at Wal Mart and we donated anything within three days of expiring to the food bank. Anything past that went to compost (except meat and stuff obviously). I honestly thought that this was more common.

[MonkeyMan576]

Sanders is leading Clinton by 7 points in New Hampshire. But Trump is also running away with it so I guess you can take that with a grain of salt.

Considering they also liked Romney IIRC, I honestly could not tell you what new hampshire is looking for in a candiadate seeing as those three people have nothing in common

There isn't a far enough away. Maybe if we really speed up work on a mars colony.

Yeah, and then Trump decides to build a wall around Mars and make Mars pay for it.
