Burger places go for chicken

"In July 2019, before the Popeyes craze, a group representing McDonald’s franchisees argued in a letter that the company needed a superior fried-chicken sandwich. 'JFK called for a man on the moon,' it wrote. 'Our call should be a category leading chicken sandwich.'"

“Trump’s rhetoric: his obsession with labeling critics, especially Black individuals, as “low-IQ.”This pattern is not just a political strategy; it’s a deliberate psychological weapon rooted in America’s painful legacy of racialized intelligence narratives.”#MomSky

ChatGPT Was Asked To List Everyone Trump Has Called ‘A Low-IQ Individual’ — And It’s Pretty Racist

I listened to President Trump call Rep. Jasmine Crockett a "low IQ individual" and I realized I had heard that before, so put the question to ChatGPT.

This important report by @hassan.senate.gov shows how President Trump’s tariff taxes are hurting small businesses. Small businesses have lost over 366,000 jobs since the President took office. We owe it to them to end this chaos.

Trump’s bad plan to eliminate Energy Star

The public saves money

Manufacturers supported it

On;y Trump wants to get rid of it.

The EPA plans to eliminate Energy Star, the popular energy efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances, according to agency documents and a recording of an internal meeting.

Trump’s plan to end the Energy Star program is a blow to American families and businesses everywhere. This program has saved $500 billion in energy costs over the past 30 years. Energy efficiency isn’t just an environmental solution—it’s an economic one.www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi…

Very unusual just how fast Bosch and the other appliance makers immediately called out EPA for reported plans to eliminate Energy Star. Not something you see companies do these days.Energy Star saves average household ~$450/year and is VOLUNTARY

The Trump administration announced plans to eliminate the Energy Star program. “For just $32 million a year, Energy Star helped Americans save over $40 billion in annual energy costs.” Eliminating the program contradicts the promise to reduce household energy costs.www.engadget.com/big-tech/tru…
