They scrubbed the blood and opened the doors at 10 AM. Capitalism doesn't sleep.

Less than 24 hours after 3 people were shot and thousands were traumatized, Westfield Valley Fair reopened on Saturday morning. I walked past the area where it happened. The yellow tape was gone. People were drinking boba and lining up for luxury bags like nothing happened. It felt... dystopian. I understand businesses need to make money, but it feels so disrespectful to open up so quickly. It sends a message: "Your safety matters, but our profits matter more." Did you go back to the mall yesterday? Did it feel weird to you? #ValleyFair #Capitalism #TooSoon #SanJose #PublicSafety #MallShooting #Debate

Trading Food for a Fix

Officer Daniels pulled over a suspect known for dealing drugs. In the suspect's wallet, he found five different EBT cards, none under the suspect's name. Here’s how it works: Addicts hand over their cards and PINs to the dealer as collateral or direct payment. The dealer doesn't just buy chips; he goes to a high-end grocer, buying steaks, energy drinks, and seafood to resell or consume. The original cardholders go hungry, their children go hungry, while the dealer eats like a king on taxpayer dimes. It’s a cycle of addiction funded by public welfare. #OpioidCrisis #Crime #LawEnforcement #PublicSafety #WelfareAbuse

Lowe’s Home Centers Hit With $12.5 Million Penalty for Lead-Paint Safety Violations During Home Renovations Federal regulators have ordered Lowe’s Home Centers to pay a $12.5 million civil penalty after investigators found the company repeatedly violated lead-safe renovation rules during home improvement projects across multiple states. According to officials, Lowe’s contractors failed to follow federally required safety practices designed to protect families—especially children—from toxic lead-based paint exposure. Violations included improper containment, lack of cleanup verification, and failing to provide customers with mandatory lead-hazard information. The settlement is one of the largest ever issued for residential renovation lead-safety failures, underscoring federal concern about the long-term health risks posed by lead contamination in homes. Officials say the enforcement action sends a clear message: major retailers must ensure strict compliance with federal health and safety standards during every renovation project.
