Where did I say that shit? Your endless assumptions are pitiful. You have derived an entire archetype for me from one sarcastic comment aimed at this website and nothing else. Not to beat that familiar drum, but you are the type to helped get Trump elected. Alienating the center-left like this definitely doesn’t help…

Just... what? You would be lucky to get 5% of the population to do this. Also... taxes are taken out before we have much of a say. Holding our tax dollars hostage sounds good, but the IRS extortion racket is ironclad. Their muscle is better than our leverage.

It is $42 good for two people, absolutely. $21 a person for that level of cooking for a whole chicken and sides. Yea, not bad.

Obviously it isn’t. Go back to “B-Dubs”, fucking pleb.

Ah, so you are just a piece of shit troll, I see. Well played.

It is ironic. Trust me, it is fine dining. I actually know people that work at his establishments. It is high end shit all around. The “this looks like poor food” gimmick is old, but at least the food looks and sounds downright fantastic and is prepared by highly trained professionals.

$42 is ridiculous? You must not go to fine-dining establishments often. Guy has a two Michelin star restaurant under his belt and has a slew of James Beard awards and other honors. I would gladly pay $42 for a meal from one of his restaurants and this one actually looks delicious and filling too.

Well that is just stupid. Fine dining isn’t cheap. You want cheap fried chicken, go to KFC. This is made with a level of preparation far exceeding that. The cost of the ingredients alone probably exceed $12, for fuck’s sake.

My take is not garbage, sir. It is pretty basic shit. He posted about the price of one item and posted a picture of another - that is intentionally misleading. He did it to justify his position and that is piss poor journalism.

I guess? I just don’t appreciate the shitty journalism thing and as a food lover, this was a disservice to the actual meal and its price, which by NYC standards is pretty good... and it looks fucking delicious.

They deserve it.

How about we put the image of what you actually get? HamNo, try harder. We get it, you don’t like rich people, but this was intentionally misleading and that is just piss poor journalism.

Yet your cited example was computer programmer. Jumping from that to CEO is a bit amusing. Why not lead with the CEO example? They are drastically different scales and the former will not have impact on many, a CEO can, but is still not nearly on the level of someone guiding the most powerful nation on earth.…

Your examples are really flawed (and looks like you moved the goalpost a bit there, too, eh? Computer programmer to CEO is a big jump). I would argue a CEO doesn’t have nearly the reach of politicians and Generals are still beholden to many checks and balances and are not subject to lobbying, etc. While they are in…

Can’t mark me as junk if it is inter-office communication. Heh.

Fair enough. It is held under threat of penalty, which is extortion.

What a lovely assumption. I mention that the people here are peddling racial casting drama to get clicks and you think I somehow think racism is overblown? Really? You know those are not the same fucking thing right? Or is that entirely lost on you in your desperate need to try to justify your assumptions?

Congress has massive influence over the most powerful nation in the world and its policy. That can be bought. Over enough time, politicians seem to get corrupted by power, money and influence and this is why lobbying and “campaign donations”, etc are issues.

A computer programmer isn’t shaping American policy. They…

Apples & Oranges. Seriously.

Helvetica would like a word. And that word would be better, as it would be in Helvetica, not TNR.
