Apparently, a blackout of McDonald’s is being felt by the company.
People have stopped going to McDonald’s because of its reversal on DEI but also because of its anti-union efforts, price gauging and apparently it’s not that inexpensive anymore.
They keep raising prices, even though their profits are through the roof.
I want to point out that Adam Smith considered high profits to be the sign of a dysfunctional market.
The reason Mike Johnson doesn’t give a fuck about his constituents losing healthcare is simple: he wants them to.
He is an agent of a fundamentalist religious movement that wants to tear down all social services by government so that they can then provide some half-assed version of those services as a way to control people. It’s just “abusive household” on an industrial scale.

Could someone please just TERMINATE Netflix and everyone working there!
I am so sick of them ruining every great show there is
It is hard enough to find a show that is not gay and retarded and full of feminism and black power and soy boys with man boobs and ugly fat women
In the off chance I stumble upon a genuinely great show and watch the first season and then wait a whole fckng year for the next season and then netflix has fckng bought it and made it into gay and retarded feminist slop!!!!
No it will get cancelled after the second season since the first season wasn't made by netflix. But they have already bought the show and made a second season. This is how they do it.
They buy great shows because they are unable to create greatness.
But since they are unable to create anything good every show they buy, they destroy.
They can band make ten seasons of they want to. They will all be garbage. They don't care.

Uh-oh Omar.
The British government has "strongly condemned" a live performance on the BBC by rap duo Bob Vylan in which the crowd was led through a chant of "Death, death to the IDF."
As you might expect, Zionists are treating this incident like a second Holocaust and rending their garments in outrage.
Inside the western empire it's considered offensive and unacceptable to say "death to" a foreign military comprised entirely of armed combatants which is presently committing a genocide.

Yanis Varoufakis on X:
It seems that our rulers, here in the 'liberal' West, have homed in on a new way of turning a person into a non-person.Here is a man, Hüseyin Doğru, a German journalist (of Turkish origins, but not a dual citizen) whom the EU authorities have found a novel, immensely cruel, way of punishing for his coverage of, and views on, Palestine.
The German authorities learned a lesson from my case. Not wishing to be answerable in court for any ban on pro-Palestinian voices (similar to the court case I am dragging them through currently), they found another way: A direct sanction by the EU utilising some hitherto unused directive, one introduced at the beginning of the Ukraine war, that allows Brussels to sanction any citizen of the EU it deems to be working for Russian interests. Clinging to the argument that Hüseyin’s website/podcast used to be shown also on Ruptly (among other platforms), they are using this directive aimed at an ‘anti-Russian asset’ to destroy a journalist who dared oppose the Palestinian genocide.
In practice, this means that Hüseyin’s bank account is frozen; that if you or I were to give him cash to buy groceries or make rent then we would be considered his accomplices and subject to similar sanctions; it also means that if he were a civil servant, he would be fired; if he were a student he would be expelled from his university; if he received a pension it would be suspended; if he received any social benefit it would be frozen. It also, astonishingly, means that he cannot leave Germany!
Last, but definitely not least, it means that Hüseyin cannot sue his government for turning him into a non-person but only challenge the European Commission in Brussels – where he is not even allowed to go!
Need I say more? Is it not abundantly clear that we live, today, in a nominally liberal Europe where, in a jiffy, your political and human rights can be rescinded, including your right to challenge your government in a court of law?

Two days ago, the National Catholic Reporter published an editorial statement about Trump's "big, beautiful bill," noting the strong opposition to it among Catholic religious women (i.e., nuns) in the US, and the diffident opposition among the US Catholic bishops.
NCR writes,
"This bill is not only a political and economic scandal; it has become a test for U.S. Catholic bishops."

As an observer from far away, my impression is, that this norm was already ineffectual for some people that were not of Christian faith. Like Muslims.
