Discussing politics and religion

Who could have ever suspected there could be issues with "Roach Coach" sanitation? I think it's hysterical that the Yuppies are lining up to pay $18 for a burrito across the street from the Los Angeles Modern Art Museum. Of course with all the grift involved they probably don't even make money at that price.

They're parking those food trucks all around the suburbs now on the weekends and people do frequent them. After 40+ year avoiding those wagons on the job sites it's like science fiction to me that those are considered gourmet, fancy, high-class dining.

People wouldn't go if the food wasn't good.
We have some a block away from the carpet store.
A local lady with some money bought an old building and made it into a fancy restaurant. Between the side of the restaurant and the next building is a narrow space about 30 ft wide. She had that paved put up an overhead trellis with little white lights all over and picnic tables and I think there's either six or eight of those food trucks parked in there. It's between buildings, meaning it gets very little sunlight especially in the winter. It's winter time it's chilly and damp yet that place is driving like you wouldn't believe. It's right next to the Bay but doesn't have a view of the Bay and this next to the railroad tracks that don't get used.
Like I said if a food wasn't really top notch you wouldn't find people flocking to it.
And nobody around here is paying $18 for a burrito or a taco.

McDonald’s drive thru is never empty and they certainly aren’t slinging good food around. Food carts have their own appeal. Maybe you don’t want to go through the rigamarole of a sit down meal in a restaurant. Maybe you want some variety cus you can get something from multiple food carts in the same location. Who knows but if there’s a good taco truck around I’m sold.

People like em cause they are "home cooked", unlike the traditional fast food places.

When the lunch trucks roll into job sites they're doing a service to those guys who dont want to pack a lunch. When they park on the streets and compete against restaurants who are strictly regulated and taxed I'm not going to patronize that sort of thing. Honestly, I've never found anything special off a food truck that's I cant make myself or find at a local restaurant. And, I also dont see the price savings either. Maybe that's just here but the prices I see are roughly the same.

When I worked as a welder at a combine factory, it was either vending machine food or food trucks. No where to store a lunch. Have you ever eaten a vending machine sandwich?

The six or eight that I mentioned are right next to the ladies restaurant in a courtyard sort of setting. So she'll cater to whoever some people would prefer to eat outside and not many restaurants have that option. She's gonna make a killing this summer.

I think so..............ONCE

Have you ever eaten a vending machine sandwich?

In the triangle shaped plastic containers? Peel back the plastic and there are two perfectly cut triangle halves of an egg salad sandwich just waiting to be eaten? You gotta wash that down with a cup of coffee for a quarter from the machine. The cups had a poker hand on them and you would compare your hand to the next guy’s hand that got some coffee.

I’ve eaten many a vending machine sandwich. Nothing to brag about but it also wasn’t a traumatic experience for me either. I worked at a sizable fab shop for a few years with dedicated lunch areas for the employees and plenty of vending machines. The machines got filled and rotated on a regular schedule. Had many a vending machine microwave burrito as well as some Zingers. Gotta be the yellow Zingers, the chocolate ones are too much and the tiger striped ones are messy.

This fab shop was pretty big so in addition to the lunch areas with multiple vending machines there was a food truck that would stop there for lunch or dinner depending on your shift. There was always a line for that truck and this was the early ‘90’s before the whole food truck craze.

There was 1800 employees at the combine factory, so you would think the sandwiches would be fresh but no. And the only thing to drink in them most of the time was diet Pepsi. yuck. Place went belly up in 1983. If not for that, I would never have gone back to flooring. I was one of the only three in the place that knew how to build fuel tanks. Made over $25,000 there in 1980 and that was a lot of money then. Bought a new 3 br house on a big corner lot for $25,000. My ex got it.

Diet Pepsi bad?
I worsipped the stuff. Regular Pepsi and Coke tasted like karo syrup once I got used to fake sugar.
Think if you made less and gave her a $12,000 house. .....yeah, I know, but it's a better thought

Here's a paragraph from the New Yorker. Too bad NBC didn't know about this lady when blaming global warming on the spread of this disease. Quite the storyteller

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/01/20/death-dust







Julie Schuder, who is forty-one and works with developmentally disabled adults, lives eight miles downwind of A.V.S.R. 1. She moved there from Sacramento with her family a couple of years ago, so that her younger child, an aspiring actress, would be close enough to L.A. to audition. “It’s windy here,” she told me. “We knew that when we moved in.” But after construction started the wind changed. “Suddenly, high winds brought sand with them,” she said. “We can stand outside and see the dust clouds coming our way from A.V.S.R. 1.” The house was new, custom-built only five years ago. Dust came in under the doors and around the window seams to pile in corners, six inches deep; it got into the attic ducts. Her family started wearing masks inside the house. Sometimes they can’t see each other across the living room. No one in the family has come down with valley fever, but Schuder is scared for her kids. “The prisoners are being moved, but we can’t leave,” she said.

Lancaster-----It's one of places where I've passed through to work in the area and wonder for the life of me what makes people think this place is fit for human habitation.

Texas has a $33 billion surplus. Florida has a $22 billion surplus. California has a $22 billion deficit

Interesting read.

“Life insurance companies are refusing to pay out for deaths caused by COVID 19 vaccination, on the grounds that it is an experimental procedure for which the adverse effects are well known and widely published, and it is not forced - but taken out of choice. They, therefore, regard such deaths as suicide, which is not covered by life insurance. They state that people who take an mRNA vaccine, either with full knowledge of its adverse effects or through willful ignorance of those effects, technically speaking - are committing suicide”

Stop it now! That can’t be true?

Here they forced a lot of people to get it including public servants at the risk of losing their job and pension if they didn’t…. That didn’t stick but they tried.

Who forced you? Certainly not the insurance companies and good luck suing the government or any sizable corporation.

It would be interesting to know whether there were any insurance companies that mandated the V for their employees. That would certainly change things.
