Because local zoning ordinances vary from location to location, Steak 'n Shake said that the size of the flags and flag poles will be dictated by what is permissible in each location,

aside from the size of an American Flag violating FAA regulations by being a hazard to aerial navigation, why can or should any municipality restrict the size of an American Flag?

The short version is that JMCKUSICK (John) was having a fundraiser. Some DUers misunderstood what I said.  That kept them from donating to John.

Did omaha steaks say that there would not be any mini tacos served at the fundraiser?   is that why people didn't donate to the cause?

Under the conditions of a Trump economy, it is much harder to get help of this kind from the outside world.

In the real world, food and shelter assistance is readily available. The "problem" to DU-grade Progs with many such sources is that they are run by eeeek! Christians.

More seriously, JMCKUSICK would do well, if he hasn't already, to get in contact with his local Congress-Critter. They often are able to get past the people unable to assist to the persons who can. BTDTGTTS, several times, though for different reasons.

But once it does, there's no telling how things will end.

Actually, it is easy to tell where it ends, should it go that far. The cities will end without power, water, and food, the hordes they contain will turn on each other after a few days when the food, water and security run out, and their waves will crash upon people like you and others in the suburbs before they dissipate. It would happen slowly at first, then seemingly all at once.

For all your perceived advantages of living in the cities,  folks like you have never given so much as a moment to consider your real vulnerabilities or your shortcomings. You and people who believe as you do take a great many things for granted, and the fact that you do is among your greatest weaknesses.

Meanwhile, the people in the sticks who know how to live in the sticks will go right on living in the sticks.

You and people who believe as you do, really should stop and ask yourselves how much the continued presence of illegal aliens is worth to you, and how much you're genuinely willing to give up to keep them here. The cost to you (not just others) could be very high should you decide to push things too far.

Steak ‘n Shake Will Install the Biggest Possible American Flags at Its Restaurants Nationwide

Whether the move is genuine or just shows that Steak 'n Shake has an uncanny ability to read the room, the hamburger chain last night did something that is sure to win over more than a few American patriots. In a post on X, Steak 'n Shake revealed that it’s begun American flag installations at its branches.

Because local zoning ordinances vary from location to location, Steak 'n Shake said that the size of the flags and flag poles will be dictated by what is permissible in each location, but the policy itself is to erect the largest flags and tallest poles possible.

In response, X posters were universally supportive with a huge response, starting with none other than X owner Elon Musk, who replied to Steak 'n Shake’s post, “I’m ordering from there tomorrow!”

Steak 'n Shake is mostly east of the I35 corridor (eastern TX north to Omaha, NE, though there are some in CA, mostly in the Land of LA and San Bernardino--Riverside area. There is one location in San Jose, in the CSU San Jose campus.

Regardless of the sentiment behind this marketing move, it will be a (probably) inadvertent troll of America-hating Progs. It will be interesting to see what cities try to block this and in what cities local haters throw tantrums. I doubt there will be a flag at the San Jose location, as the S&S is in some sort of campus plaza with multiple fastfood stores.

I take the blame for something I said that hurt another DUer...please read

Let's not go over my mistake from several months ago. The short version is that JMCKUSICK (John) was having a fundraiser. Some DUers misunderstood what I said. That kept them from donating to John. He is disabled and waiting on an appeal to Social Security. That takes time. John has shared his location, the hospital he has been in, his doctor's name, etc. Not the mark of a scammer. And no troll has come out to say anything he has said is false.

John is in depending on us to keep a roof over his head. He is even willing to sign off on a loan for when he gets his back benefits.

Here is his newest update on what is going on: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10182231430

Under the conditions of a Trump economy, it is much harder to get help of this kind from the outside world.

PLEASE Donate to John here: https://gofund.me/112d07237 Kicks and replies would be appreciated too.

Well well well what do we have here

That might be what they're saying, but you know that some of them are at least thinking...

Look people, yeah, he may have done some things that some may view as questionable AND lied about his credentials and stuff, but we need to focus on the important thing: he checked the proper boxes. What does the supposed "bad" stuff matter if the proper boxes are checked?
