ASHAMED to be an American today -- Hungry Seniors

Is "kpete" shorthand for "cut 'n' paste"?
Anyway, how true, how true.
All those people coming into Morton's, talking about how they were starving.

And maybe it's just me, but whether it's Morton's, Ruth's Chris, Jimmy Kelly's, or The Palm, it always seems a disproportionate amount of the hunger is being suffered by folks in their 50s and 60s. This country just doesn't take care of its seniors anymore.

Yeah, I am impressed by how close they can get to a lie by telling the truth...they open the commercial by talking about an actual fine gold coin, then do a fast transition to talking about a base metal, gold-clad replica of it without missing a beat.

Quick, let's make a new law to add to the 40,000 new laws.

That's the normal libtard response.  There are plenty of overlapping State and Federal laws, and FTC regulations, that cover deceptive practices already, though.  The dipshits of the world can't seem to resist passing even more new ones, particularly if the campaign for it has a stupid name like "Mary Lou's Law" or some such crap.

How long has that dog and catfood schtick been around?  I remember being a little girl and hearing something about it on TV, and being disturbed.  It never happens.  We don't have boatloads of old people snapping open tins of Little Friskies.  It's stupid and hyperbolic.  Come on, foodstamps are a snap to get.  If you are hungry, you're working hard at it.

I haven't eaten in a McDee in a long time. I stopped in one the other day to buy 16 yr old son a snack to tide him over until we got home. I gave him a $10 bill and all I got back was a few cents in change. If they can afford to eat at McDee's, things ain't that bad.

You only got a few cents back because he's a teen, not cuz it's super expensive.

Note to lurking DUmmies: Above is an example of the proper use for the contraction "it's". "It's" is a contraction for "it is", not a possessive form for it. The possessive form for "it" is "its"

It is kind of stupid if you actually look into it...I remember looking at the comparative prices out of curiousity after hearing the whole 'Seniors on Alpo' meme years ago.  As far as I could tell, canned pet food was generally more expensive, or at least not any cheaper, than any close canned food equivalent for humans (Tuna for cat food, corned beef hash for dog food, etc.), at least in the generics and non-premium products.

JohnnyReb, a "snack" to tide him until he got home cost more than $9?  Did you check the receipt?   :whistling:

Yeah....and then I remembered how much I ate at that age. :-)

Between filling up a Pickup with gas or a teenage boy with food...I'll take the pickup.

Scary.  When I need a cathartic I usually go with fast food.  Works every time sinced that stuff leaves me faster than fresh corn through a goose.  Double cheese, fries, and a shake can burn a ten faster that than the greased lightening it is cooked in. :lmao:

I don't eat at McDonalds as much as I used to but I did notice their prices have gone up.  A hamburger is still 79 cents but cheeseburgers are now a dollar.  Quarter pounders are as much as a Big Mac (they were on the 99-cent menu for a while) and the prices on all the breakfast sandwiches have gone up.  Some days I can't get away with spending less than $10 there so I stopped going.  Even the Chinese buffet is cheaper.

Isn't McDonald's and evil corporation on the same level as Walmart to the DUmmies? 

Just a question to ponder.
