Baffled customer can’t open door after driver leaves full coffee outside
Food delivery drivers are part of the fabric of society, from ordering takeaways for a night in to bringing us a McDonald's breakfast when we're hungover. And they're not just limited to food now, as you can get your weekly shop, alcohol, desserts and even morning fuel, aka coffee, brought straight to your front door. But that literal interpretation threw a spanner in the works for one man, named Alex Bradshaw, after his delivery driver essentially trapped him inside his house by placing a full cup of coffee in front of the door. Bradshaw shared a clip of his predicament to TikTok account, @slopshaw, with the glass showing his cup placed just inches away from the door. And as his door opened outwards, he faced the near-impossible task of retrieving his drink, without tipping it over. "Thanks for the coffee Doordash," he captioned the clip, shared at the end of last month.

President Biden’s appointee for a key Treasury Department position has failed to provide her thesis about Karl Marx to the Senate Banking Committee. Biden recently tapped Saule Omarova — a law professor at Cornell University and a 1989 graduate of Moscow State University — to serve as Comptroller of the Currency , which “charters, regulates, and supervises all national banks.” The Kazakh-American’s past remarks about purported gender equality in the Soviet Union are worrying many Republican lawmakers. “Until I came to the US, I couldn’t imagine that things like gender pay gap still existed in today’s world,” Omarova tweeted in 2019. “Say what you will about old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there. Market doesn’t always ‘know best.’” After Omarova was criticized for her tweet, she added: “I never claimed women and men were treated absolutely equally in every facet of Soviet life. But people’s salaries were set (by the state) in a gender-blind manner. And all … [Read more...] about Biden Nominee Who Praised Soviet Union’s Lack Of ‘Gender Pay Gap’ Hasn’t Turned Over Karl Marx Thesis To Senate | The Daily Wire
