Lynsi Snyder, president and owner of In-N-Out, is speaking out after social media users criticized her for comments she made about the chain's home state of California. Snyder, 43, issued a statement on July 22 after making critical comments about "The Golden State" when discussing her family's move to Tennessee, where In-N-Out is also slated to open an eastern office to "support our growth." (Snip) The backlash began shortly after Snyder, who has been in charge of the burger empire since 2010, made complaints about living and doing business in California in a recent interview.

Re #3, exactly. In-N-Out has been the quintessential California company built by loyal patrons. It could not have done that anywhere else. We'll see how her plans work out. Their burgers are quite unlike any I found elsewhere on road trips thrpugh many states. It is never a good idea to slam the market that made your company and your billions..

They won't be the last to leave. CA is a beautiful state and I can see why people found it such a magnet. That's pretty much gone now. The cost of living, the homeless, high taxes, the regulatory climate ($20 minimum wage), fuel costs, stunning mismanagement, plus the most amazingly inept group of politicians you could possibly imagine etc. etc. Now we hear that the rebuilding permits from the fires are snarled in a bureaucratic nightmare. I can see a lot of homeowners just selling the lots their houses were once built on and leaving the state entirely. The Democrat party has foolishly allowed itself to be captured by the left and if given power will destroy everywhere they govern.

The nearly 300 locations in California (>75% of the revenue) will do just fine. Was at one of the Anaheim stores last night, sitting in 3 lanes of coned traffic for drive-thru service at almost 1 AM: 50+ vehicles full of loyal customers calmly and patiently waiting their turn (imagine that scene at a South Carolina Waffle House). No one here cares what a handful of like-starved idiots on social media think about what Lynsi says or does. We just want to continue enjoying the best burgers around. "And grill the onions, please."

In November 2024 the voters in California voted 63/37 to replace the "man-woman" definition of marriage in the state constitution with words saying in effect "anyone can marry anyone," so yes, California is hostile to any rational concept of marriage and the family.

@#5 - You must have read a different article than I did. Miss Synder did not 'slam' her customers - just the opposite. She clearly stated she was still going to service her CA customers. Corporate America has been leaving CA in droves since Newsom stole the governorship - that and the crazy super majority controlled state legislature that keeps looking for ways to raise our taxes every half an hour. Businesses have every right to leave when they are constantly being attacked via rules, regulations, taxes, unsustainable minimum wage increases, etc. Californians are still in denial as to what is being done to them. Has anyone checked their local fire hydrant lately??

It's a private business which pays massive amounts of taxes to the State of California. She personally pays a bunch too as do the executives of the company. Much like many other businesses who were being pushed around by the Democrats in Sacramento, she has determined the best long-term plans for her company. She's keeping the stores (they usually own the land where they're built) already in CA - they aren't closing. Nestle moved their corporate HQ a number of years ago (was in Schiff's district) and no one in Sacramento seemed to care. Toyota was pushed around by Sacramento which is how Musk obtained the Fremont plant for Tesla. Took Toyota few years but they left their massive HQ in Torrance for Texas. No one in Sacramento seemed to care. CA is a very difficult place to run a company. They will chase out many more companies and aren't getting any of the large AI projects for the tech companies.

The backlash is reminding me a bit of what happened to Chick-Fil-A when Truett Cathey's son dabbled with the woke crowd a few years ago. In that case, the younger Mr. Cathey was forgiven by his customers, who were mostly center-right. Not sure that In-N-Out Burger will fare as well in nutty wastelands like California; perhaps closing down more stores (as they did in Oakland) might send a message about what the company will tolerate from it's left-of-center customers. Meantime, California's loss appears to be the rest of the country's gain. BTW, #17, I don't know what your experience was with their fries, but in 2000 I lived in CA for a few months and got to witness the "potato smasher" [a device which took in freshly picked potatoes, peeled them, sliced them into fry form, and deposited the fry-formed potato slices into a fry vat] in action at In-N-Out, and those were the best French fries I've ever tasted in a fast food restaurant.

Correcting a few earlier posters who said she has the right to do as she pleases. Maybe so now, but Democrats do not believe she owns the thing, everything should be owned and controlled by the State. The plan is to make that so, raising taxes every half hour is part of that plan.

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s anticorruption policies have already provoked Ukraine’s first antigovernment protests since the Russian invasion in 2022. Now, it seems, they may cost the country a portion of its foreign aid from the European Union, in a clear rebuke from the bloc, once a staunch ally. The European Union said on Friday that it would withhold 1.5 billion euros, or $1.7 billion, from an overall fund of 4.5 billion euros whose disbursement is dependent on achieving good governance standards and that can’t be used for military purchases. James Wasserstrom, an American anticorruption expert, said in an interview that “the luster is definitely coming off” Mr. Zelensky’s wartime leadership

Mamdani Proves Democrats Have Abandoned Jews 14 replies
Posted by 4250Luis 7/27/2025 8:51:06 AM Post Reply
Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City Democrat mayoral primary marks a troubling shift in the Party’s relationship with Jewish Americans. Mamdani’s candidacy is not simply progressive—it is openly hostile toward Israel and indifferent to rising antisemitism. By nominating him, the party has endorsed a candidate whose record reveals not just poor judgment, but outright radicalism. After the Hamas-led terrorist attack on October 7, 2023—when over 1,200 Israelis were murdered, including children burned alive and women raped—Mamdani declined to offer a clear condemnation. Instead, he deflected by calling Israel an “apartheid regime” at a time when moral clarity was urgently needed.

What we now know is already damning: the phony Steele Dossier wasn’t just opposition research—it was weaponized disinformation, deliberately shoved into the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment under orders from Barack Obama himself. Senior analysts warned it was unverified and unreliable, but those concerns were bulldozed in the name of politics.

At least 11 people were stabbed in a bloody scene inside a Michigan Walmart Saturday night — causing terrified shoppers and employees to flee — before a brave armed citizen helped detain the knife-wielding maniac, according to police, witnesses and harrowing video. The terror unfolded around 5 p.m. when the alleged 42-year-old male attacker began randomly stabbing shoppers with a “standard” folding knife in various sections of the big-box chain store in Traverse City, about 255 miles northwest of Detroit, Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea said.
