    It certainly comes across as really good.

    Extra pickle, extra
    onion, extra relish. Three #7s and 3 (free) waters for under $20. My
    wife ordered hers sans cheese, and gave me one of her burger patties,
    plus about half of her fries, so I was stuffed.


    UGH! That is a lot of food. About 30 years ago, I could probably
    have eaten it. Not so much now.

    I was pretty gorged, even though I'd had almost no breakfast. It was
    seriously a great experience.>
    Sure, that's pricier than McD's or BK, but worth the extra buck fifty or so.

    As expensive as everything has become over the past eight months,
    the difference is minor, really.

    Eggs are cheaper than 8 months ago. Ears of sweet corn are cheaper.
    Lower cost cuts of beef are a bit higher, but higher end cuts are a bit cheaper. Food spending is not anywhere near the highest cost of
    after-tax income by percentage. Dwelling costs are really high. All
    that stuff that needs to be replaced because the definition of "durable"
    has shrunken to far fewer years will be replaced by items with tariffs.

    In a purely selfish sense, I'm not harmed. I already own a Speed Queen
    washer (made in USA, but with steel likely from Canada), and a Miele dishwasher (made in Germany). Those appliances will outlive the current political insanity, and probably outlive me. A few food items may go up
    in price, but I can deal with that.

    The eggnurnt White trash whose entire sense of being is dependent upon
    being better than non-White, non-hetero, non-WHAT THE FUCK are getting
    fucked hard in the ass by the fascist shit they voted for. I will
    celebrate when there are suicides of farmers who voted for Trump, and
    are going bankrupt. I can't bring myself to celebrate soybeans rotting
    in a silo, but a soybean farmer who voted for Trump decaying in a
    coffin, that makes me happy.

    My *personal* recommendation is to go during happy hour. Cheaper
    shakes, and you can still get a burger or two.

    So long as you're happy.

    If you hate farmer's so much, then why don't you grow all your food
    personally in your garden?

    Serious question that deserves a honest answer.

    If you hate farmer's

    Your LYING via an apostrophe is acknowledged.

    so much, then why don't you grow all your food
    personally in your garden?


    Where, outside of your NEED to lie, does Bryan suggest he hates
    farmers? Those soybean farmers who voted for Trump are receiving his
    ire. But to anyone who can be honest, so NOT you, this doesn't mean he
    hates farmers. Just a certain segment of a certain type of farmer.
    Please get the professional mental health care you need for your
    lying. I'm being very serious.

    Serious question that deserves a honest answer.

    That's rich, coming from you, a person who, due to mental
    illness, CANNOT be honest.

    There actually *IS* a limit. You're only allowed one per every 15 days.
    Still, that's twice the McD's 30 days. I got another Steakburger
    today. It was great.
