There was a photo of a Walmart I saw today (unknown source) that had the toy aisle roped off.

Why? I understand toys are not necessities but with so many children having to stay at home I don’t see a problem with parents being able to buy them.

I suspect the backlash from the media and both political parties would have stopped that from ever happening. Everyone would have said it was unjustified, abuse of power, war mongering, etc. Frankly no matter what 4012 does there is a very loud syndicate out there that will say it is wrong. Great l...

If you are in a crowded supermarket, the 6 feet rule will be meaningless if you are in the store for 30 minutes breathing in the virus. It is based on time. If you breath in the virus for 4 minutes, your exposure is much less. People need to get in the store get what they need and leave as soon as ...

4012 has been saying this for the last 4 years to try and bring back manufacturing here. The problem is the other elected officials, the ones with those approval ratings in the, like, teens, of both parties, seem to keep doing things that discourage it from happening.

I just really, really wish we could at least make masks, drugs, vaccines... maybe this virus will teach us a lesson.

While a lot of unskilled and lower-skilled labor went to Mexico you have to remember that 1.2 million jobs were created in the U.S. producing products that a...

If one washes their hands properly prior to using the blowers there shouldn't be any germs left to be spread.

Brea (the original Albertsons DC), La Harbara (ex-Lucky) and Irvine (ex-Lucky) …. The Brea and Irvine sites were sold last year in a lease-salesback deal. Albertsons is still listing jobs at the Brea site, so presumably both will remain long-term. Thanks for clearing that up. Brea is what I mean to...

Interesting to think 21 years ago in SoCal there were distros for Albertsons, Lucky, and Vons all separate. Now there is one DC to serve that total store group. I thought there were four distribution centers, although I'm not certain about one of them. Irvine (Originally Lucky) El Monte (Originally...
