    I like Chik-Fil-A for Chicken Sandwiches and Popeyes for everything else.

    There are 5 Popeye's in Wichita, I've ate at all of them a couple of times, never had reason to complain about the Chicken or Red Beans and Rice, french fries maybe, a couple times. With Popeye's, if you go in, you can pretty much see the whole process.

    Something that high school jobs in restaurants, and the week of mess duty in boot camp taught me was that if you are worried about what goes on in the kitchen, you ought not be eating out at anyplace but a diner where you can eagle eye the cook.

    The stories I could tell you.......

We are still seeing downstream effects from that hurricane in shortages of certain common meds.
    This is what I’m being told from within the system myself.

    At the dessicated chicken Popeyes one of the people waiting on me dropped the utensils/napkins intended for me in the floor and I am reasonably sure, based on arm motion, they slid it on a shelf under the counter instead if in to a trash can.

    Worked at a steak house when I was 16 so that is very true. On a busy night it had about half the dishwashing capacity it needed so the conveyer system wash cycle got overrode more often than not.

    Uhh, what do you guys mean by legit capitalism? The one where the basic supply/demand/price graphs come true? Yeah that would be best for the consumer.

    One of the problems with our current system is that everything is run to maximize profit for the shareholder.

    And that any corporation with enough resources leverages government regulation to disrupt or minimize any new sources of competition.

    By legit capitalism, I am meaning just plain, no adjective capitalism vs. crony capitalism which is not really capitalism at all.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron...itical%20class.


    Finally remembered the other terms, market entrepreneur vs. a political entrepreneur.

    If I were king for a month, I'd have legit red light districts including drug clinics where you could affordably buy and use any drug you want, however when you check in, you may not leave while still under the influence of any drugs. If you never leave, that is fine too.

    I would have legalized prostitution in controlled and safe settings, where the girls are subject to regular checkups and customers must also prove they are disease and drug free. 10% state tax would apply.

    I would also have suicide booths where if after meeting with a state qualified psychologist and you still want to check out the necessary drugs for a fast and humane death would be provided.

    And of course I'd have carnival super slides into wood chippers for all the pedophiles, serial killers and the like. Free stadium seating for spectators of course.

    Attorneys would also be subject to prosecution if they knowingly suppress or withhold evidence that proves their client is guilty or the defendant is innocent.

    It would be a different world and of course Popeyes and Chic Fil A would partner to form a new fast food chain called Jesus...Chicken.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    That is what has happened in health care to the max. Big business loves big govt, and vice versa. And they both hate/like to drain the blood from lots of small businesses and individuals.
    It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.
