I don't get it. When I was a kid all I wanted to do was go to work. I reckon that's the way it was when you had a dad that survived the Great Depression. Maybe a guy inherited that work ethic by osmosis. Maybe we've had it too good for too long in this country.
Yes, the US is sick from affluenza. When I was younger jobs were as plentiful as the factories and people wanted the next better one. Now much of that is gone. Because for decades greenies have chased the factories offshore while we invited millions of 3rd worlders in for domestic chores. There's a lot of ruin in a rich nation, but soon the bill will be coming due.
That's Chicken Express. Don't ask how I know it at a glance. Those prices are for some pretty big meals. 4 Tenders with gravy, a roll, and battered fries with a large iced tea is $9.14 and it's real good and they sometimes toss in an extra tender. This is the same company that was printing the second amendment on their receipts for a while and uses a pure lard fry because fuck em, that's how fried chicken tastes good.
