re The Fast Food Sandwich War Is Depleting The US Of Its Entire Supply Of Little Chickens

Shouldn't be a problem. If they pay enough of a premium for the lighter birds, they'll soon have more than they can use.

I found the graph to be of interest, showing how much bigger the birds have become over the years. One can see it in the size of the pieces.

Re: Are Dems the other stupid party?

Normally, they are only the corrupt party. Now they are the corrupt party and the stupid party.

re: Can You Smell Elizabeth Warren's Desperation?

I thought that smell was something else, but maybe I'm wrong.

Re: Education Across the World

Look, the truth is that black children have low intelligence. They can't learn much, so comparing Haiti to America is pointless. Also, there is the problem of overpopulation. Trying to increase classroom size to accommodate an increasing number of children is pointless. We have to address the problem at its root, not throw money at it in a desperate attempt to avoid responsibility. The population of the world needs to be reduced by fifty percent. Classrooms need to be smaller, run by volunteers, and stay in session for only about three hours a day. Working a part-time job is also an education.

"The population of the world needs to be reduced by fifty percent."

So, are you willing to go first as a matter of principle?

It does remind me of PJ O'Rourke's observation that all over population arguments boil down to, there's just enough of me but, way too much of you.

I'm disappointed that ZeroHedge left Bojangles out of the chicken wars. Their Spicy Cajun Fillet Biscuits are awesome for breakfast.

Corona virus stats vs global warming stats:

It amazes me how easily the "experts" toss of the stats on the coronavirus to downplay it. "We only have 5 case in the U.S", "so far no human to human transmission in the U.S.". But none of this means a thing, it is all speculation and it is being done by the experts presumably to calm us because we are to stupid, I guess, to hear the truth. The truth is that it is too soon to know how bad it will get, how long it will be bad and home many (or what percentage) die. They are whistling past the graveyard (pun intended). This virus has the potential to be as bad as the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. Most like if it is that it will be worse in third world countries than it will be in most of the West. It could also be like the SARS virus and be brought under control. We don't know! We can't know until some time has passed and for the experts to offer up guesses is irresponsible.

Toss off another approximate stat that about 110 people die every minute worldwide. (simple math of 7 billion population divided to minutes).
It's a Rounding Error.
