Worst mardens by far. All the other mardens at least had some decent stuff mixed in with the garbage, this mardens was just all garbage

He does not receive any profits, though. That's what people are concerned about: shopping there and LeFuckhead gets a piece.

I'll edit my comment to say "linked financially."

I don't know anything about him back in 1996, but I am sure he was less crazy then.

And nothing of value was lost. Marden's was one thing 20, 30 years ago, selling surplus and salvage was one thing when most products, in general, were higher quality than today. Now everything they sell is insanely cheap Chinese-made trash that just happened to be salvage.

The only things worth buying there are tarps and carpet. Anything else you're getting ripped off by paying money for it at all.

Inflation exists....

People love to cry about the “shelf life” of both solar and wind energy, but these strip mall structures barely have 25 years of an expected life. That isn’t even including the shelf life of a parking lot that is larger than the physical building.

Most of these were built 25-35 years ago, for big box convenience, and the upkeep is too expensive for anyone to care. These structures are starting to blight and rot across the country.

Look at most of the big box / massive parking lots. Almost all the drop ceilings are brown from rain water, parking lots are a disaster with no paint, and no one is improving these structures. Almost of half of these structures in Bangor are either abandoned or are about to be and on purpose. These landowners are purposely letting the structures rot to devalue themselves and neighboring land for acquisition / tax purposes.

This isn’t a Maine issue but a country issue, we chased the cheapest price for everything so we can have more and let businesses get subsidized by our dollars. Now that the profit has been extracted they’re moving to different investments and leaving our car-centric “commercial shopping centers” to blight towns and cities.

How does working as the GM for 14 years NOT link him to Marden’s? I’ll grant you that he never owned any part of the company, but it looks like you quoted the proof you’ve been looking for.

I’m less in your area (Ellsworth) but I’m a vocalist. I’m 22 and also nonbinary. I’m not trained to do like… metal voice and that kind of stuff, but I am classically trained. Unfortunately I’m currently out of practice and also undergoing masculinizing hrt so if I try and go too high my voice starts to crack. I’m also a mediocre banjo player if you’re ever looking for folk/bluegrass type vibes lol.

I heard it as just ‘fa-ah’. Two syllables. someone broke a rule or got called away for a chat with the teacher. I only heard it from kids.

Now they say ‘bust-Ed’.

Not getting this squared away by the start of the next NFL season would be seem like a serious loss of revenue. Get it done Maine.

The French expression "ça va" (sah vah) means "it's okay" and it can also be a question meaning "how's it going?"

Possibly haha

No..........

They look spoiled and that alone makes me gag.

Thats Yiddish

That’s Yiddish, it’s a common expression among Americans of Ashkenanzi origin

So he easily worked there long enough to plant a horcrux

Which right wing wacko nut job is paying you to spread disinformation on Reddit?

Yeah, totally. Idk sometimes idioms don’t translate literally, or maybe there’s a transient cultural meaning or reference that has been lost to time.

People say that LePage is financially linked to Mardens but I have never seen any proof. Not defending LePage, but if there are no links between him and Mardens then it's just stupid misinformation. Mardens actually has that as a question on their FAQ

>Marden’s is wholly owned by the Marden family. [Former piece of shit] Governor LePage worked for the Marden family as the GM of Marden’s from 1996 through 2010. He never did, and does not now, own any part of the company

That was my best guess for a meaning in French as well, but I thought given the context (“uh-oh! Someone’s in trouble!”) it didn’t really fit.

My wife and I went on our first date by going to see The Hobbit when it first screened, then KFC after to talk about it

A cheap first date is a wonderful filter for shitty people.

I thought they were all in Florida.

Right because if they were nuclear accidents, that would make you wrong. So forget the fact that they were nuclear accidents. Forget about three mile island. In the interest of you being correct, it’s clear that the facts don’t matter.

Voyons donc!

Roof has multiple leaks. Everytime it rains or gets warm during winter. Walk into the store and there are a large number of tarps and catch basins throughout the store.
