Can we talk about the political and economic state of the world right now.

It's pretty gnarly
Just like everyone still being pissy with wraps when he hasn't even been here


As things stand, I think economically and due to many unhinged world leaders, we may have passed the point of no return. I have optimist mind which relies on a pair of pessimist eyes. Sigh.

Walmart was pure bliss this weekend.

Editing to say of course I miss wraps even though we speak daily


Almost like it's been 3 days and no ones said a word, then he was brought up in a thread while the OP calls people vicious for his own self inflicted wounds.
No shit.

Sure
Having good wraps required mcdonalds to warp an entire market with its supply chain for 6+ million pounds of freshly sourced english cucumbers, a drastic change from its scaled 54 million lbs of pickles since the fresh cucumbers are perishable. They also took 60 seconds to assemble on average, compared to 10 seconds for a burger. Cutting wraps from the menu was purely an economic squeeze by a company that was favoring higher profit margins and turned to promotions like "get some rapper to slap his name on an otherwise unremarkable burger". Prices went up, quality went down, market share went down, profit margins went up, investors got a stiffy, brand became tarnished and people bring it up as the #1 example of runaway inflation. And what did they do? Bring back wraps. Except these wraps suck ass, have no fresh vegetables because that would require a supply chain and time spent slicing. Instead they are stripped down tacos, just a meat+cheese+lettuce+sauce in a tortilla and thats it, no cucumber, no tomato, no tortilla strips. That's the shitflation of 2025

I've been helping facilitate food drives and working on them for my community while I've been away

It's sad out there (and no you broke backs I don't get food stamps regularly I'm just trying to help my community)

Oh? Nice. Volunteering and/or helping the needy is a priceless mindset. Considering you have a family and other responsibilities, just be careful. A possible sinking ship (not you, but in general) may not be able to do much. Thank you for what ya do! :hug:

I'm mostly helping with advertising for the collections and helping move donations to pantries themselves within the community because I have a wide social circle and the ability to do so! I'm friends with a guy who runs a local newspaper and actually started it, I'm just helping get results for our community.

I can't imagine making a mockery of poor people and children going without food, what a shit take.


I'm gonna stop refreshing though bc wow this place is shit anymore, have a great day, you're an amazing human
