Slouching From the Cheerios – #Whiners

From the WaPost.com, “The baffling reason many millennials don’t eat cereal“.

Few things are as painless to prepare as cereal. Making it requires little more than pouring something (a cereal of your choice) into a bowl and then pouring something else (a milk of your choice) into the same bowl. Eating it requires Bernie_Birdie_Supporters_01little more than a spoon and your mouth. The food, which Americans still buy $10 billion of annually, has thrived over the decades, at least in part, because of this very quality: its convenience.

And yet, for today’s youth, cereal isn’t easy enough.

[A]nother thing happening, which should scare cereal makers — and, really, anyone who has a stake in this country’s future — more: A large contingent of millennials are uninterested in breakfast cereal because eating it means using a bowl, and bowls don’t clean themselves (or get tossed in the garbage). Bowls, kids these days groan, have to be cleaned.

Bern Down the House

Come August 28, the “Bern” is taking a week off from politics. That’s when he’ll be at Nevada’s Black Rock City for the festival named in his honor, The Burning Man.  When asked about his plans, “The Bern” noted that after the Democratic Convention in July, it really won’t matter where he is, or what he does, so he might as well party like it’s 1968.

A Question For the Trump Protesters

From AZFamily.com, “Trump protesters block streets in Fountain Hills“.

For hours, the protesters – about two dozen in total – parked their cars in the middle of the road, unfurling banners reading “Dump Trump” and “Must Stop Guns_Conservatives_With_Guns_BehavingTrump,” and chanting “Trump is hate.” Traffic was backed up for miles, with drivers honking in fury.

Protesters were also chanting, “Donald Trump, shut it down, Phoenix is the people’s town.”

The road was eventually cleared and protesters marched down the highway to the rally site, weaving between Trump supporters who booed and jeered them.
