Any Kiwis in the food industry, do you use any “bleach-like” chemicals to clean milkshake and/or beverage machines? Any other theories, Kiwis?
Speaking from experience: shake machines are usually cleaned with industrial machine sanitizer. This can contain "chlorine," but not "bleach." The two are often confused because "chlorox" is a brand of "bleach."
During my college years, I had a summer job in a cafeteria where one of my duties was to help thoroughly clean the soft serve machine at the close of each Friday.
@AStupidMonkey's description is spot on that these machines are usually cleaned out with some form of commercial sanitizer. The most common ones I'm familiar with use either quaternary ammonium (Quat San) or iodine (Iosan) instead of bleach.
Unless that particular Shake Shack is managed by fucking morons (great case for criminal levels of neglect/liability if true), they do not clean their machines with bleach. See also: antivaxers feeding their children small amounts of bleach, and how even that tiny diluted amount causes intestinal sloughing.
In conjunction with the above, bleach wouldn't be used to sanitize these machines for this very reason - bleach in small amounts would be too damaging to ingest and the local health department would go nuts over someone using bleach in this manner.
NYPD says that upon further investigation the employees did nothing wrong. Approximately seven hours after the initial report, in the middle of the night (apparently).
At first, I wondered why the police would be so quick to claim they were intentionally poisoned only to have to backtrack and say nothing criminal happened.
However, I can't help wondering if perhaps the machine wasn't being cleaned out regularly or properly. Seeing how I once worked at a different cafeteria where the soft serve machine's
lack of regular cleaning caused minor GI issues in people eating the ice cream, perhaps this particular Shake Shake needs to improve its cleaning/sanitizing schedule or procedures.
With everyone wanting to use this to further their #ACAB/all cops lie narrative, though, we may never get a straight answer as to what really happened -- if anything.

Mail-in votes are a far greater threat due to the break in custody, IMO.
In addition to that, there are areas where mail service is unreliable or the mail carriers simply DGAF about delivering mail on a timely basis. What assurances do people have that mailing their ballots on a timely basis will result in the local clerk receiving them before the necessary deadline? I'm also concerned about how easy it might be for someone to intercept ballots en route especially if they all get sent in a distinct enough envelope that makes it obvious what's inside.

Kassius Benson appears to be running away from this dumpster fire at top speed, claiming he hasn't been on the board since Feb 2019:
Did anyone else find it odd that Mr. Benson's tweet refers to himself in the third person? The only logical explanation I can come up with is some sort of SEO where people searching on his name see him disavowing involvement with the board. Still, it seems odd that he simply didn't say something along the lines of, "Sorry, I haven't been on the board in over a year."
The charitable part of me thinks that this non-profit is just a bunch of lefties using this as a resume booster, who suddenly fell into $35 million dollars and now have no idea what to do with it.
This reminds me of TransLifeLine (see also:
Greta Martela & Nina Chubal in the Rat Kings forum) because TLL had a similar story: a small nonprofit that gets mainstream press and suddenly raises a much larger sum of money that gets used for anything but its alleged/intended purpose.
MFF is already showing some of the same red flags TLL had early on in its history. When the 'Farms found the TLL's page listing the board of directors, it quietly vanished shortly thereafter -- something MFF has also done with its page listing its board. Also, Dear Leader briefly had access to TLL's calls statistics and used it to show how TLL hardly answered any calls during their listed hours and barely any operators were available to take them despite their successful fundraising. Again, that access was quietly and quickly disabled. MFF may not have any stats to publicize or hide, but their current lack of transparency and lack of clear answers about what's going to happen with all the excess money they've raised is similar enough to raise suspicions in anyone that doesn't blindly accept their non-answers at face value.
Let's just hope MFF's founders don't take a page of of TLL's playbook and use the excess money as a personal slush fund

.
Can't wait until 2019 is posted. Let's see who they officially list from last year.
If not for the 2019 return, MFF will likely have to file Form 990 (the standard/long form) for 2020 and not Form 990 EZ. The standard 990 presents income, expenses, and information about the officers in greater detail than the EZ return does.
Still, I wonder how long it will be before the board decides to start paying its officers that presently (as of the 2018 return) receive neither salary nor reimbursement allowances.
If all you followed was twitter you’d think that shit never ever could happen in this evil white man’s nation of hate
I'm not sure what to think with social media and the MSM doing what it can to drive a racial wedge between people right now

and promote a narrative of oppression. The fact that there are people in the African-American community trying to build/maintain bridges right now or do things to help their community -- such as encouraging low-income, inner-city residents to take advantage of free COVID-19 testing -- are being overlooked, ignored, or even memory-holed is horrifying, but not surprising because people getting along or working to better each other goes against what social media wants people to believe.
NGL - Breaks from the news and social media are probably best for everyone's mental well-being on account of the one-sided narrative(s) currently being promoted.
So basically if you do a single thing wrong in their eyes, they will never let you live it down, no matter how many times you've apologized or tried to make up for it.
Had it not been for the video to her song "Mooo!" (aka "Bitch, I'm a Cow") being posted here, she'd be a literal who to me. Based solely on that song and Dindu Nuffin, she seems to like to shitpost through song.
Still, your point is valid,
@Jolyne. With cancel culture being more of a thing now, people are obsessed with finding just one thing -- no matter how old or how presently irrelevant -- to use against people they hate in order to present them as toxic or otherwise worthy of being deplatformed.
