It’s honestly pretty simple. If you want it and are ok paying for it, buy it. If not, totally understandable and don’t.

Follow your own philosophy. If you don’t like those threads, “it’s totally understandable” if you stay out of them.

Cut the high school sauce pumper job. Sitting their arse on a stool doing nothing.


Gonna have to find a new place to eat chicken. Heaven knows we have options.

A McDonalds value meal is $10 now. Burger King’s Whopper Value Meal is closer to $11. Bidenomics.

I would gladly take Cane’s over both of those options. At least Cane’s will be clean and get my order right.

So, the man that was just recently reported as the richest man in Louisiana and one of the 500 wealthiest people in the world from selling chicken is raising prices 9.9% across the board. What a dick.

And people will pay it.

I wish Baileys was still around.

Todd Graves of Raising Cane's among world's richest people, Bloomberg says. See his net worth. BY ROBERT STEWART | Staff writer Nov 16, 2023
Todd Graves, seen here at a 2021 event at the original Raising Cane's, hosts the new series, 'Secret Sauce with Todd Graves,' premiering Saturday on A&E.

Todd Graves has become the richest person in Louisiana and is one of the 500 wealthiest people in the world, according to an analysis by Bloomberg. Graves, founder of the Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers empire, has a nearly 90% stake in the private business, according to Bloomberg. That, along with dividends he has received, are worth $7.6 billion, making him Louisiana’s wealthiest resident and the 307th wealthiest person worldwide. The chicken finger restaurant reported $3.3 billion in sales for its fiscal year ending in June and adjusted earnings of $647 million, according to Bloomberg. Its total revenue grew from $1.5 billion in 2020 to $3.1 billion in 2022, and the firm paid dividends totaling $183 million in that same time frame. Earlier this month, Raising Cane's sold $500 million worth of bonds. The initial offering was backed by investors; Bloomberg noted $1 in Cane's bonds was selling for $1.01. Founded in Baton Rouge in 1996 at a spot near LSU, Raising Cane’s now has more than 750 locations worldwide. Earlier this year, it opened a Times Square location and Post Malone-inspired restaurants in Utah and Dallas, which also leans heavily on the musical artist’s beloved Dallas Cowboys. Topping the Bloomberg list is Elon Musk, who runs Tesla and owns X, formerly known as Twitter, among other ventures.

His net worth is $225 billion.

Graves, though, now outranks a number of notable business people on the list, including: Dan Cathy ($7.38B), chairman of Chick-fil-A, and his brother Bubba Cathy ($7.38B), also a Chick-fil-A executive Ann Kroenke ($7.38B), Walmart heiress Giorgio Armani ($6.64B), Italian fashion designer Mark Cuban ($6.37B), Dallas Mavericks owner and “Shark Tank” star Mat Ishbia ($5.68B), Phoenix Suns owner and CEO of United Wholesale Mortgage Reed Hastings ($5.49B), Netflix co-founder and chairman Howard Schultz ($5.2B), former Starbucks CEO What about Gayle Benson? Notably, the Bloomberg list — which cuts off at 500 — doesn't include Gayle Benson, the person widely considered in other rankings as Louisiana's richest person. However, in the latest list complied by Forbes, Benson, who controls the New Orleans Saints, the Pelicans and a business empire that includes several other enterprises, has a net worth of $4.7 billion, which ranks 580th on the Forbes list. The lowest net worth on the Bloomberg list is $5.2 billion. Graves is not on the Forbes list. Raising Cane's officials said Graves was unavailable for comment Thursday.

Bailey's and Frickin Chicken should reenter the market. Better product and better prices, people would flock to them.

They would be the Blue Store Chicken of the chicken finger world.

Taco Bell still has a $5 box

Bidenomics.

Trump spent like a drunken sailor and accused the Fed of trying to undermine his presidency when raising the interest rate was discussed.

Biden has spent like a drunken sailor as well, but at least it's been tempered by not fighting the interest rate needing to be raised.

Both are idiots who shouldn't be anywhere near the Oval Office, but somehow some of you idiots seem to think your chosen idiot is vastly better. fricking fascinating

Cheaper to go to Outback or somewhere

So what do you think about the overall insane prices of grocery store items as well? Just not eat that either?
