Why do I feel like Biden is going to lose?

We have those hash browns for $3.99.
I've said it before, but it depends on where you live.
I don't make important culinary decisions based on politics. I'll have Chick Fil A and follow it up with Ben & Jerry's and not bat an eye!
You have to choose! And your choice must be consistent with your new but strongly held opinion about Jimmy Kimmel.
Never thought two ice cream commercials would so perfectly illustrate the difference in "what's important" between the American left and right as perfectly as those two...at least in what they seem to advertise as their goals.
Those commercials perfectly define how Trump's message resonates more to centrists than the nonsense that Biden's puppeteers dictate.
A have a neighbor I walk the dog with all the time. We walk, bitch about our wives, our lazy kids, etc. His wife is super liberal and half-woke. She won't let her kids or him eat Chick Fil A. Sometimes, when he's working from home and she's at work, he makes me take him there for lunch.
If Chik-Fil-A's gonna occupy a spot on a turnpike with limited spaces, they need to be open 7 days a week...
New York lawmakers say roadside Chick-fil-A units should open on Sundays
A bill introduced last week would require all restaurants in state-run travel plazas to operate seven days a week. A Chick-fil-A is already

and they'll never match Chicken Express or Church's.
How does he survive that?
"You're not taking the kids to Chick-Fil-A are you?"
"No...just the all ages drag show over at the brewery"
"OK. Good."
She would be OK with that.
She's in marketing something or other for Miller. When the Bud Lite thing happened she was furious and I said something along the lines of Bud should be focusing on their customers, not politics, and she went ballistic. She predicted Bud was actually going to have higher sales by using Dylan Mulvany and I said no and she played the expert card and told me I didn't know what I was talking about.
I have not brought it up since with her, although I still needle the husband about it.
No it didn't. Check inflation during his administration.
Inflation in one area can be offset by lowering of prices or no inflation in another. I thought that was self-evident, but obviously needs to be explained to some.

Sad. My wife has a real thing about not buying from convenience stores. But she'll spend 2 gallons of gas going back and forth to save $.50.
I remind her of that every time I run to the convenience store, which is often and right around the corner.
Oh, I'd be bringing it up all day, every day with her. But that's probably why you live in wedded bliss.
I do stand corrected, they were 3.99 with a Kroger loyalty card the name brand was 5.99 a bag (called to the boss to confirm). She did however state that you could get the Kroger brand for about $1.50 a few years back. The price of food is outrageous, couldn't imagine raising a family and feeding them today it was bad enough 5-6 years ago.
My car insurance went up $70/month for no reason, my agent said there was an increase in premiums across the board not just his agency. I called around and it was true. Hard to believe a couple with no tickets or claims can have their insurance go up 840.00 a year? The past few years has seen sharp increases, again glad I can afford it but I feel for those who live on less.
I'm terrified what my insurance will be in a couple months when my middle kid gets her license.
I've already got the three cars right now, but when she's put on it, oh buddy.
There's no way she can be as bad as her older sister. It's never a good sign when you ask how many wrecks she's been in and her answer is, "the you know about"?
I just think that was some mid-level wokester going rouge, not something nefarious by corporate. Kinda like Maverick buzzing the tower.
In fact, I imagine the fallout and discussion at "Corporate" with "Marketing" was probably pretty similar...
"Well that'll just about do it with the woke shit".
Good luck, had two teenage girls on my policy at one time it was an ugly site. Our issue was tickets, they tried to keep them a secret? Fun times I tell ya.
I hear you. I used to do computer contracts for CFA. It's not as much of a cult as Waffle House, but it's close.
Good lord. I can only imagine what your reaction was, based on what mine would have been.
Last year was when I asked how many wrecks she had been in. I say this after she had totaled her third vehicle (I'm not buying her another car).
She gives me the statement that you know about, which my jaw hits the ground. She then asks, are you talking about just vehicles, because I hit a barn a couple years ago.
I asked how, they don't move. She told me it's best I don't have all the answers.
I shook my head and walked away. I'm kind of shocked she hasn't been hurt, or even killed by now.
I hear you on that one. Mine makes a sport of it. If she's got five things on her list and the price of each is cheaper at five different stores, then she goes to five different stores.
Of course it did. At my old job we sold a ton of imported Chinese products. Our costs increased by 25%. You can damn betchya we passed those increases on, and told our customers exactly why.
Quite honestly...if that means a plant get re-opened in Anderson or Marion or Bloomington because it's cheaper than Chinese, but more expensive than "it used to be"...that's a price I'm willing to pay. Socialist a bit...sure.
I'll pay a bit more as long as I see direct, minimally-filtered/poached benefits to American working class.
If that means I can only buy a 50" TV for $1,000 instead of 85", but towns like the above get a new life...so be it.
I'd be good with that scenario, but it didn't happen and isn't going to happen anytime soon.
I mean...yeah. That ship likely sailed in the 80's.
That said, I'm not going to rip on any plan, from either side, that looks to implement plans to kickstart American manufacturing and revitalize the small towns.
Toward the end of 2019 the Chinese factories we dealt with bought factories in Vietnam. We still ran our orders through them, but they shipped direct from VN so no 25% tariff. Quality issues were higher, though.
it can be done here but a lot has to come together. my friend had a factory in rural missouri. he got ridiculous tax breaks. among other stuff they made football uniforms. there's good margins in those. they actually made football uniforms for a number of sec teams (south carolina etc). same uniform everyone else got slap an under armour patch on at the end. and they did okay. but covid hit and it went down the shitter. that's the thing with the states. i was working with schutt when pritzker shut down illinois. year later schutt was bankrupt and up for sale. taxes, employment costs, workers' comp, regs, and the vagaries of shit like covid response it makes it hard here when overseas they're at your beck and call
Do your people get to sample the gummies coming down the belt?
absolutely. you wouldn't believe how much product is handed out for free. it's really pretty fascinating. it's almost like the beer wars on steroids back at the advent of same because it's all in its infancy and there really isn't brand loyalty yet or like association with places like AB is stl and coors is colorado and yuengling on and on. i have boxes and boxes and boxes of this shit i give away. i don't use any of it. not for me. i like alcohol.
we'll bring you in to manage our fleet if we can get to mso status. You can sample all you want
Bullshit.
He's running ops at the MHR park when I buy it.
If he wants to source gummies for the local Moms for Liberty as a side gig, I can probably arrange that as well.
these are your neighbors?
"I just slipped and the meat fell into my mouth..."
lol
(payoff @ about 3:35)
Jesus. I'm talking about the inflation rate overal. Not specific products.
What the hell is wrong with you and Goat that you don't understand that?
