I’ll never understand Republicans cheering taxes.

I’ll never understand the climate people. The fricking local weatherman is a legend if he can get the weather right 50% of the time, but some clown can tell you what the temperature of the planet will be in 100yrs? It’s a joke.

Still dealing with a tight left hammy. Ran 12 zone 2 miles today. Still tight, but will continue working it out. Next target race isn’t until late July.

Gutfeld is the only thing watchable. The rest is straight propaganda.

Penzeys Spices lost their mind after one election. I can't remember which one, but I think it was pre-Trump. Might have been the Bush/Gore election. Check this out:

About Republicans

quote:
What does any of this mean? Going forward we would still be glad to have you as customers, but we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I’m sad to say you might be happier elsewhere.

If on the other hand you still want the best spices and don’t need us to respect what you now vote for to be our customer, Hooray! We are happy to have you here, but know that we will, on a regular basis, try to wake you up from this dream that has you believing there is anything conservative left at all to what the Republican Party has become. We can and will work without Republicans to solve the problems we face, but it sure would be nice to get back to a time where Republicans were equal defenders of equality, the environment, and democracy. We look forward to that day.

Needless to say, I stopped doing business with them.

Tortuga's Chicago style pizza is a must. Best pizza outside of Chicago.

Whiskey Foxtrot for dogs and burgers. It's beside Cajun Cleaver.

Silver Coin is the best Indian food in Bham.

Pollo Lucas is some South American chicken that is amazing.

Jake's Soul Food. Get the ox tails.

Archie's BBQ. Get the jumbo cheeseburger.

Mr P's or Diplomat deli for the local deli/sandwich experience.

Hoover is starved for a local fine dining experience. Maybe another poster has a local rec for that. Closest I can think of is BistroV in Vestavia.

Love the ceo discussion. No complicated algorithms or complex processes.

The secret was to just make their food better.

Really a great interview. Thanks OP for posting it.

Makes you wonder if some of the other chains they mentioned could have been saved with some of the simple changes Chili's made.

cost of raising children

this, plus the fact that most couples/families can't afford to live on a single income anymore, meaning that the woman has to work, are by far the biggest factors

All of this.

How about finding ways to make having children easier? The reason our birth rates declining other than not needing as many children to care for the home is how expensive a child is. Childcare so people both parents can work is an entire salary for some.

They've turned us into slaves and wonder why birth rates have fallen.

Jesus Christ. You stupid fricks realize that ‘zero percent interest rates’ lead to our out-of-control spending, nation ending debt, inflation, and the devalued dollar right?

It would be nice if Trump just had a plan that he could articulate. Too bad he doesn’t.

I wish either of these shitty parties had any semblance of a moral compass. fricking Republicans cheering for taxes and trade wars like 80’s era Democrats makes me fricking sick.
