I’ve been a full size candy bar house for a while. Buying bulk candy bars spiked in 2021. Boxes usually average about $1.25 per bar, but you can find sales at Costco at $0.60 each if you aren’t picky on exact candies.

Non-candy options I sprinkle in that are hits are rice krispy treats, bags of microwave popcorn (unpopped) and the packaged 2 pack of cookies.

Definitely a US grocery store.

195 or 310 is piece count. The bags are usually sold by rounded weight (3 or 5lbs).

They are auditing the security of the payment system, not DOGE directly.

Short for WAshington POst (a US newspaper/website)

The Washington Post article goes over the threats and there is nothing substantiating the armed militia.

It would be a bit odd to me for the national guard to report to the US Forestry that they saw an armed militia and wouldn’t be actively pursuing it. Seems more likely is was a miscommunication in a hectic environment.

They did. The threat was established to be incorrect and the lone person making the threat was detained, and workers are back in the area.
