How do you make a $24 Five Guys burger?
Ask Joe Biden & Co.

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 3/8/2024 2:02:38 PM

An X post went viral this week for showing a meager meal at popular chain Five Guys — a burger, small fries and drink — racking up a brain-busting $24 tab (including tip). That likely puts lunch at a fast casual joint well out of reach for an everyday American family. We know whom to thank for this: Joe Biden, progressive Dems and the terrible economic policies they love to enact. Think about it. Who else is responsible for the massive inflation hitting average Americans? Via his endless drunk-sailor spending, Biden dumped trillions into the economy just as it was coming into a strong upswing after the COVID crush.

Comments:

$100 for a family of 4 isn't excessive at a fast food joint - if you're the POTUS. Does he pay for anything?

Their prices must have jumped considerably. DH and I ate there when we were in FL (i've been gone 7 years) and we could both have burgers, fries and drinks for around $20. The extra amount of fries in the bag kind of made up for the cost. I doubt I would eat there now. I had an english muffin with egg and sausage at McDonalds recently, with potato patty and soda for $9.08. Not long ago it was $7.something.

No one in the Biden Administration has any business acumen. They would fubar a business just like they are fubaring America. When the cost of labor goes up, the costs of five guys resources (from suppliers: fuel, meat, potatoes, dairy, condiments, soft drinks) also go up. Businesses past costs on to the consumer, they don't eat the costs. It's not rocket science Joey Baby, it's basic business science. Something you don't have.

#4: KFC is no longer KFC. They changed the original finger licking good recipe some time ago for one we can not even choke down. No "KFC" for us since then.

I went to Kentucky Fried a week ago and found a 16 piece bucket of just chicken was $40. If you want the french fries and horrible biscuits its $57. I left empty handed. I may get robbed but I'm not going to ask someone to rob me.

Got a cheeseburger from 5 Guys 2 days ago. Around $ 18. No fries. No Drink. Beats paying $ 5 for coffee at the place named for the First Mate on the Pequod.

What is going to happen is that customers will stop going to these fast foods and in the end, they probably end up going bankrupt.

I think a burger from Five Guys is extremely expensive. They're grossly overpriced. Whenever we go to a Five Guys, we get a children's burger because it's the least expensive.

It didn't matter if Joe Biden took to the podium during Thursday night's State of the Union and drooled for an hour, Democrats were always going to proclaim it the greatest speech of all time. When it turned out to be the most unhinged and angry example of a tradition the country should scrap with prejudice, there was no chance some actual honesty was going to punch through. [snip] Naturally, Democrats are in a full-scale revolt over it. As RedState reported, Nancy Pelosi chastised the president, and the list of detractors is growing substantially.

During more than three years of his presidency, Joe Biden has become known as much for his bursts of anger and yelling as for his serial lying and concocting mumbling words that make zero sense. [snip] He had one last opportunity to at least try to somewhat heal — if just a bit — a nation further fractured by his divisive presidency. Yet, there Joe was: "Us against them" vs. "Let's try to come together." The latter was not to happen. Instead, a very angry president screamed at House Republicans and about Donald Trump — and even looked the Supreme Court justices in the eye and politically chastised them

A California man has become the first person in the United States charged with illegally smuggling greenhouse gases into the country, officials said Monday. Michael Hart of San Diego was arrested under the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020, which prohibits the importation of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) without proper permits from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). HFCs are potent greenhouse gases commonly found in refrigerators and air conditioners, building insulation, fire extinguishing systems, and aerosols. They can be hundreds to thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere, exacerbating the climate crisis.

As jab-peddling continued, the “experts” at the CDC rolled out their latest recommendations regarding COVID and the flu “about 4.5 years late.” When names like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Robert Redfield were just beginning to become readily recognizable by the public at the beginning of 2020, many may recall how masking was discounted as a mostly futile practice and COVID-19 was being regarded as a “bad flu.” Now, after both of those notions had been cast asunder in favor of panic porn and illogical lockdowns that divided society by “essential” and “non-essential” workers, the CDC released their updated recommendations on dealing with respiratory viruses

President Joe Biden’s White House has begun referring to border crossers and illegal aliens as “newcomers and “people who are in the country” — a terminology distinction that conflicts with federal immigration law. On Thursday — while promoting a Senate bill to preserve his catch and release network at the United States-Mexico border — Biden’s White House made a passing reference to border crossers and illegal aliens, calling them “newcomers” to the U.S. The White House fact sheet on the Senate bill reads: The bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers,
‘Super Core’ Inflation Soared In January,
Worst In Nearly Two Years
12 replies
Posted by mc squared 2/29/2024 12:10:54 PM Post Reply
A key measure of inflation rose last month at the fastest pace since March of 2022. The personal consumption expenditure price index for services excluding housing and energy services—often called “super core” inflation—rose 0.6 percent in January. This inflation gauge rose this much in March of 2022, December of 2021, and in March of 2021. It is historically rare for this metric of inflation to rise at this high of a monthly pace. Prior to Biden’s presidency, it had only happened three times in this century, including a single month immediately following the 9/11 terror attacks. Before that, the measure had not jumped 0.6 percent since 1993.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul knows she has spooked her state’s business community. That’s why she went on a talk show last week to calm their very legitimate fears that they would be next. If former President Donald Trump can be prosecuted and fined hundreds of millions of dollars for a common business practice, who is safe? Hochul said New Yorkers are generally “honest people, and they’re not trying to hide their assets and they’re following the rules… This judge determined that Donald Trump did not follow the rules.” Hence the $355 million fine levied by the court.

We’ve reported on the recruiting problems plaguing the United States armed forces. To put it bluntly, it hasn’t been going well. So what to do if you’re the U.S. Army? Stop with the focus on “woke” like DEI and transgender issues? Treat the military with respect? Nah. If you’re operating under the Biden administration, you simply cut your numbers. It’s easier than solving the problem. To wit, the Army on Tuesday released an “Army Force Structure Transformation” paper that announced a force reduction of 24,000 positions – roughly five percent of the force. Problem solved.

Boy, are they desperate. The internal polling on African Americans must be through the roof for Donald Trump.

Joe Biden’s fiery but mostly peaceful State of the Union address prompted many to suggest that he had been drugged before the speech to ensure an energetic performance. I don’t doubt that many wags made those comments in jest, but it may actually be the truth. A psychiatrist who specializes in elderly dementia patients told the Washington Times that Biden displayed behaviors indicative of stimulant usage to conceal cognitive decline during his State of the Union address on Thursday. While Democrats were rushing to claim that his performance proved that he was physically and mentally capable of handling the presidency, Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, Calif.,

Can an illegally recorded phone call be used to form the basis of a prosecution? That's a question that is about to become very relevant following a bombshell revelation regarding the infamous phone call between Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. On the call, Trump can be heard telling Raffensperger, "I just want to find 11,780 votes." That statement was one of the centerpieces of the former president's second impeachment. Was it definitive, though? In context, Trump had also asked Raffensperger to "find the fraud," indicating that he thought there were legitimate votes left to be uncovered. Regardless, Fulton County DA Fani Willis used the phone call
