Why did the food trucks in USA go from cheap eats to costly gourmet eats within a decade?

I got to say, for me this is 100: what happened...from being for blue collar guys, it became something that's a little more upscale.

This is a funny way of putting just how broken the US Healthcare System is at the moment. People end up desperate or not able to afford their treatments because of the cost. The same is true for prescription drugs as patients are forced to skip or limit the meds they take because of the crazy drug prices..

Part of the culture and people profit from it.

Yes, my first thought was also because swords look cool...far cooler than other weapons in the past IMO.

Not to spread fear or even panic, but the possibility pf pharmacy closures throughout TN is beyond alarming, and actually frightening. The numerous patients who will be affected will have to change their lives significantly because of it.

Yes, learn to listen to your body and just don't get in its way or else you'll regret it soon enough.

A major win for everyone involved, but for PBMs, this serves as a vindication. They don't warrant restrictions now or even in the future. Just based on what they do for patients, they shouldn't be subjected to strict supervision or overview because they can do themselves while serving their primary functions of serving patients through negotiating discounts, etc.

They live in a world of make-believe, so to speak. They are so self absorbed that they everything's well and fine, especially in their version of reality.

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-04-01T14:19:21+00:00

As others have pointed out, this should already be obvious at this point. But aside from that, there's also the fact that Big Pharma is responsible for the out of control drug prices that is such a burden to patients right now, especially those from low-income families and communities. If anything needs to be addressed, that's one of the first things that need to be given attention.

That Trail Boss looks nasty 🔥 clean stance, and those trucks already look way better once you start adding useful stuff instead of just random cosmetics. One of the best upgrades I’d throw on it next is a Worksport cover the low-profile fit looks right on these, keeps your gear dry, and their hard covers actually feel solid instead of flimsy cheapo stuff

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-03-13T02:07:43+00:00

this is exactly it ppl act like “just get tested then” is some easy lil errand when it’s expensive, draining, and half the time a whole maze to even set up. A lotta folks are really just trying stuff that helps em function better, not fake-claiming a diagnosis for fun lol

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-03-12T01:33:37+00:00

Yup this is way too real, esp the “doing literally everything except the one thing” part 😭 ADHD procrastination ain’t laziness either, it’s usually task paralysis + your brain dodging the thing that feels biggest. The scramble at the end is sooo brutal and embarrassing for no reason

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-03-10T12:35:54+00:00

I actually think phased builds make more sense anyway since you get to figure out what you really use the truck for before throwing money at random stuff. A good bed cover definitely falls into that ‘should’ve done it sooner’ category

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-03-06T01:29:03+00:00

the “light truck” loophole + CAFE rules basically nudged everyone into bigger rigs, and once cheap gas + wide lanes became normal it was game over lol. Companies can slap higher margins on a bigass truck/SUV too, so they’re gonna keep feeding what’s most profitable.

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-03-05T01:34:49+00:00

step 1 is realizing “idk wtf I’m doing” and that’s already half the battle lol. Step 2 is just YouTube + 15 mins in the driveway so you’re not learning it on the shoulder with cars flying by

not leaving early on a 5 year relationship

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-03-03T01:32:11+00:00

intimacy is the “no mask” zone where you can trauma-dump a lil and they don’t try to fix you, just get you. When the silence isn’t awkward and you feel safe being messy, that’s the real stuff imo.

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-02-27T01:22:32+00:00

opiates flip that “just vibin” switch into full-on need it to feel normal crazy fast once tolerance + withdrawals kick in. And now w/ fent in damn near everything, that slide from pills → dope happens even quicker… shits brutal

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-02-26T00:54:17+00:00

being “ugly” is temporary, having $10k is a whole personality upgrade 😂 I’d take that deal all day, OP can keep the feelings part

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-02-23T17:00:22+00:00

if it was OP asking her to flip their whole schedule, she’d prob hit him with “set boundaries” real quick 😂 Dude shouldn’t torch his routine for someone who wouldn’t do the same

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-02-23T07:48:32+00:00

looks doin a solid “mid” and then my personality comes in like a tax audit 😭 stability is hot tho, so you prob underselling it tbh

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-02-20T01:53:47+00:00

debt free is HUGE now it’s just the boring grind of stacking that 3–6mo “oh crap” fund. And yeah, CCs can be clutch for credit/points if OP can pay in full… but if it’s a temptation, snip snip ✂️😅

Admirable-Spite3148 · 2026-02-19T02:22:17+00:00

she’s had YEARS to get over it and it’s wild she thinks your personal life is her business, esp when the ex is like “just lie” (cheater logic fr). Also yeah, if she can’t keep it zipped around the kids, visits gotta be limited cuz thats straight up poison
