    Those are home schooled idiots. They can point out where god lives and find their way to the Walmart… but that’s about the extent of their educations. Interestingly - the dumbing of America started under Reagan, picked up speed under Bush 1, kicked into overdrive under Bush 2, and if you haven’t seen what Devos did to the DoE while “running it” - well… you’d be shocked when you discovered 50% of American high school graduates can’t read, write, critically think, or do simple math.

    Yep! You guessed it! They’ve gone on to become the morons in the red hats. Almost like the republicans were counting on them being there.

    Well, people definitely notice the sign.

    Kind of like what I used to do on reddit. If no one is answering someone else’s post for over an hour that I also would like to have the answer to, I’ll post the wrong answer to the question in a believable way and someone will instantly correct me.

    Boom. Question answered.

    You should see the condom ads in my neighborhood. Little ones happily throwing litter on the ground without any parent in sight.

    Psychology. The sign gets extra attention and also makes one think the people holding the sale might be stupid and not know the value of the items they’re selling.

    This is next level marketing. I need a new yarb and I wouldn’t know about the yarb sale if it wasn’t for the typo which isn’t even a real typo but just a small letter around big ones once you think about it. You’re part of their guerrilla marketing strategy

    My brain autocorrected the first three I read. I felt like I was missing the punchline, so I started over to notice.
