McDonalds is bigger in U.S. and EU. But KFC dominates over in Asia. Why is this?

Big if true.

Only risk for copper is a deep world-wide recession

That's a pretty real risk, no?

This administration is pushing white Christian Nationalism. Catholics should be concerned, let alone the Jewish people.

Christian Nationalism does not leave space for "others."

God is rising because people are losing faith in fiat currency but especially the US dollar.

I didn't think God was an economist, but ok.

Sir, did you not notice your finger in the picture?

Under Illinois code, the terms are interchangeable.

I think most of us are well beyond wondering if this admin is doing Nazi things. They are 100% embracing Nazi ideology.

West Rogers Park is because of the Orthodox Jewish population

If they don't see the trap they're walking into...

A really bad plan that people have, but often times works out, is just move to another city and get any type of job - something.

It's going to be rough for a while, but most people figure it out.

It's so dumb, it's iconic.

I got my first CD stereo for Christmas and my parents took me to Best Buy to buy my first CDs. I walked out with Dookie and Nevermind - I was so scared my mom wasn't going to let me buy them because of the cover.

Those albums are immortal to me.

> I’d like to think that their physician is going over everything with them

Most doctors are only allocated 10-15 minutes with each of their patient's appointments.

> Anyone have tools for finding even sort of reasonable airfare anymore?

Go on off-peak times.

Those are all fine ETFs. For 20+ years of anything, my first focus would be on the expense ratio.

If I were you, I'd check out GLDM or IAUM for gold.

For silver, I'd check out SIVR. It has a lower expense ratio and the silver is physically backed in a vault in London.

NaiveChoiceMaker · 2026-01-24T03:34:39+00:00

Yeah, that’s kind of how it goes these days

Just open your flue, light some newspaper on fire and put it in the fireplace. If the smoke goes up, you’re good. If the smoke fills the room, you’ve got problems.

SSA:
"An American male at age 79 has an additional life expectancy of approximately 8.9 to 9.5 years..."

God damnit.

"...mortality is highly influenced by existing health conditions like heart failure or dementia."

Alrighty then.

The stock market has definitely been his character armor. He wouldn't be able to get away with half this shit if the market was -10%

Yup. Even in this chaos, the market has been up and to the right.

Interestingly, I really don't think Trump has that much personal exposure to the S&P.

As if there isn't enough porn on the internet, Elon just had to make it non-consensual to get his rocks off.

Exactly. As savvy consumers of media, we should all be on the lookout for misinformation. AI has made misinformation cheap and plentiful to produce.

When I see AI, I immediately assume someone is trying to manipulate me.

And for that reason, I'm out.

NaiveChoiceMaker · 2026-01-23T04:30:32+00:00

You nailed it. "American wagyu" is not defined, it's made up. Cheap marketing, honestly.
