Fun factoid:  every single Mickey D's CEO has started out as a grunt and climbed the ranks.

That's actually really cool.

It is. Makes it kind of a shame that they're in bed with all the companies who are completely assfucking our food supply.

Is fahdiz one of those idiots whose bought into the "modern food production = poison" bullshit?

My fantasy if I get banished from the government/military realm is to begin work at the lowest levels of McDonald's or WalMart and then rise towards the top. :)

All work is honorable!

The one big problem with the American Beauty paradigm is you can only afford rent at a boarding house with six crackhead housemates.

I think his beef--as it were--is with McDonald's atrocious record of industrial chicken processing, as opposed to Chik-fil-A's more holistic approach.

Egg White McMuffins!
Are those any good?  I haven't been to breakfast at McDonald's in a while (fortunately for my cholesterol).

I've no idea. I believe the difference in calories is like 50 and I was like, mmm, why bother?

Yes, I cracked from the intense pressure of your interrogation.

WTF do you mean "admit?"

That America is a blighted nation where many jobs don't pay a living wage.

Reading comprehension motherfucker, do you have it?

What do you mean by admit?  Have I tried to sustain the illusion that a person working minimum wage can support a family of four in comfort and style?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Actually my brother made some decent money in the industry.  He's a pretty hard worker.  Of course he's stupid so wouldn't take a district management job, and he's a drunk so he lost all his money.
