No, the places around me want 15 dollars for a tray of that shit. You get a better value just getting two Carne Asada burritos, which I might add are 9 dollars and feature less guac and salsa than they did in the past.

>"Culture wars" aren't a real thing in America. It's unfortunately a 2 party system, and only one side thinks that they're in a "culture war"

The fuck we're not. I've never seen my country so utterly divided about...everything. We're so fucked up as a country we have people who don't want to give kids free school lunches because it might raise their taxes by a percent or two or some shit. You are right about Americans getting stupider and stupider. Never have I seen a society that cannot, on the whole, envision the long term effects of a decision. Giving kids school lunches might reduce crime in the long run since kids would be more apt to stay in school and pay attention, but whatever.

>Democrats don't want to touch this except to make it worse, so there is going to be nothing done to solve it.

I unironically have believed this.

>You'd need the Star Trek government system for that to happen: fascism.

I need you to explain this to me. I've watched a lot of star Trek and read plenty of historical anthologies on the subject of fascism, and the United Federation of Plants didn't have any of those qualities, and member governments/species were vetted for years to make sure they were acceptable. The Cardassians are Definitely more fascist, but honestly I would say they are simply totalitarian.

God, that image just makes me sad. A reminder of just how shitty things are nowadays in the United States. Everything is soulless and devoid of style and comfort and happiness. All our places are bland and grey and as inoffensive to the greatest number of people as possible. They should use this photo to remind people of the good old days.

Probably the fast casual places where the food is made as you stand there and watch them, like Chipotle/Qdoba/etc.

It used to be Taco Bell. When I was in college, you could scarcely sit your ass down and grab sauces and drinks before your food was out. Now that Taco Bell hires fucking bottom of the barrel retards who are too lazy to find something that pays decent, and the managers are too fucking retarded to manage a store or pay a decent wage, EVERY FUCKING STORE has maybe 2 or 3 workers.

Literally timed it once. 14 minutes to get 5 cars through.

Same. Tipping is for the fucking birds, I literally never do it. You want money for your services? Ask for it. Not particularly hard. America unfortunately has Stockholm syndrome with tipping because Americans are so retarded with their money that a waitress who does unskilled labor a ten-year-old could manage with some effort, can make 50-70K if they work at a decent joint.

It's actually quite funny, because I live in a pozzed city. I've been chased out of the restaurant by a waitress who demanded a tip and I just laughed at her, and that if I didn't, they'd "call the cops". Then her skinny hipster faggot boss came out and reminded me that "everybody deserves and is entitled to a living wage" Again I laughed and said "Great, I don't believe that, but if you do, why don't you pay that instead of forcing it down my throat. I guess she filmed it too with her phone. I'm probably being posted around the internet on antiwork or some shit.

Or just, you know, stop buying pizza from those places? Pizza delivery chains make the shittiest pizza. It's the same price, or more, as any Italian restaurant that will make you a pizza, plus you get serviced. If you don't have time, just get fast food. At least they won't fucking nickel and dime your ass with "COVID fees" "Gas fees" "Delivery fees" or whatever gypsy-tier bullshit they come up with.

America is the most DIVERSE. Remove the DIVERSE and obesity, crime, poverty rates drop well below the EU average. Too bad the world is taken over by demons seeking to encourage this trend.
