I know you can make it yourself, but that's not what I'm talking about. Texas barbecue places used to offer affordable family meals. That's no longer the case for the most part. Franklin almost singlehandedly drove up prices in less than a decade, to the point where it's almost $100 or more to feed the family after church even at a standard (not upscale) place like Rudy's.
It's like what Starbucks did to the coffee market. It created a mass market for expensive coffee (whether or not you think it's good) and now even the crummiest coffee is three times as expensive.
I'm a capitalist, so I get it. But that doesn't mean I like it.
So simple. So beautiful.
Of course, Franklin can charge whatever he wants. Unfortunately all the others are now charging Franklin-level prices too. Yes, the market will bear it - because the whole state is so damn full of California money. I still hate what has happened. Barbecue is but one of a thousand examples.
Aaron Franklin means well, and I respect him for being open source about his techniques and a nice guy, but I hate what he did to TX barbecue. Used to be a working man's meal and priced accordingly. Now it costs 3x the price thanks to fancy shit.
Is it better now than it used to be? Maybe. But it's yet one more thing taken away from regular people.
Lol, should have added sarc tag.
Three times and the third was the worst.
I noticed that. I don't remember seeing it before. It was almost as if the guy was watching him to make sure he was going to make it up okay. Like he had reason to think it was something to worry about.
First thing I thought of when I saw the Biden stumble.
How many times did Trump mount the stairs at windy airports with zero problems?
Even if it was windy - Trump has walked up and down a zillion AF1 stairs at windy airports with ZERO problems.
81 million votes u Drumpftard losers!
The mainline churches are already lost. Find a splinter church.
It's pretty much always windy at the airport and I don't remember PDJT stumbling three times.
They don't see them as "similar" at all.
" as if there is no way a doctor or scientist would lie to you for political or financial gain."
Or they could just be simply wrong. There's no end of damage that "experts" can do.
There is also the additional problem of roided-up women who are competing with normal women but claiming to be "transitioning" to male.
This is the problem with "only women can compete with other women" laws like the one in Texas, which didn't stop the "transitioning" girl from beating the normal girl for the wrestling championship (high school I think).
Still, those laws do keep out the actual boys/men so they're worth pursuing, and the fact that the left is fighting them means we're on the right track.
Seven minutes of bullshit.
Not happy with Abbott but I'm not sure what he can do against the feds.
Same reason Newsom couldn't do shit when Trump was building the wall at the CA border.
"Teens" which probably includes men in their twenties.
This is how it always goes. The narrative is "families with children being separated at the border."
The reality is much different.
Dallas and Austin (where I live) and the other sanctuary cities can suck it. This is what they've said they wanted.
Yes, I agree they have subtler arguments that are harder to refute. I wasn't arguing with you so much as refuting the argument you shared. It's good to know what those arguments are, in order to be prepared, so I appreciate you sharing it.
Too fucking bad. Other people's medical weaknesses are not my problem. Sound harsh? Well these people who supposedly can't get vaccinated are not worrying about any side effects or issues I might have as a result of the vaccine. So why should I worry about them?
The answer is: nobody should be coercing anyone else to do anything.
And of that 1-5%, 78% are obese/overweight.
