  • That’s a good point. There is a type of delivery in the US that’s all-inclusive, where more than one delivery person show up and it’s assumed they bring it in and install it.

    Standard delivery though is often some form of freight where final delivery is handled by a local carrier/vendor. Usually they arrive with a commercial delivery truck rather than a van or pantechnicon.

    Unloading from the trailer to a loading dock is the easiest. Curb delivery is possible if the trailer is outfitted with a lift or a slide out ramp. But any further and the delivery can become a lot more involved, enough to throw off their delivery schedule.

    Drivers often still offer to do it unofficially as a side-hustle, but if I don’t have cash on hand I won’t ask them to do it just as a favor.














  • Dude. Killer piece. So many inner-circle first-hand accounts here. Source density is off the charts: details, quotes, no fluff, just nonstop mayhem.

    I seriously had no idea how much those close to Trump truly detest him. Why did I assume they were mostly rabid devotees? But no one respects him, and clearly many no longer even fear him, so I take it they either expect his downfall or want it so badly they’re willing to risk anything for it.

    And maybe it’s not even heroism. At least, no one in this story displays a shred of virtue. These are backbiting cynical bastards, a carousel of political thugs. That really makes reading this piece feel like watching a ruthless mobster’s former crew participate in a ritual assassination.

    So, if you’re in need of some catharsis: first vote, but then come back and bogart this article. It’s the good shit.
