I love the idea that it changed the minds Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, but we all know their votes were virtue signals for the bourbon state.

Murkowski and Collins are morons but may occasionally have brief flairs of sanity, so I’ll give you them :D

Let’s be fair now: he also raised his national profile among the party faithful.

Yeah, I get that.

It seemed like you presented it as a given that just because it’s at a restaurant, it’s higher quality.

I was trying offer the counterexample and suggest that the grocery store frozen food is also intentionally different making “quality” difficult to compare.

Well, except criminal court where sentencing is a joke because no human is held accountable.

Kill a bunch of people? That’ll be a fine you pass on to your customers.

Higher quality seems like a stretch based on the last times someone dragged me to a crappy national chain.

Higher salt and fat content definitely, because that shit tastes good. At the grocery store, you’re far more likely to shop for things that seem healthy, and the restaurant meals would have insane nutrition labels (especially if they were honest about restaurant serving sizes).

If I could imagine anything more German than a long compound word, it’s a wikipedia article dedicated to exactly that thing.

Same! I have a ton of harbor freight and Ryobi tools that work great. I’ve replaced a few over the years with fancier versions as they wear or break.
