Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

J12,

If I eat fast food I always check their apps first for any deals. Arby’s had some decent deals a month ago (free sandwich with $3 purchase) but nothing since then and no chance I’m spending $12 for an Arby’s meal.

McDonald’s App is a little more consistent although they’ve got rid of a lot of the good deals.

Without the apps I wouldn’t eat at these places. It’s cheap food at nearly sit down prices.

J12,

Yep, they get no permissions except location right when I’m beside the location and they get removed immediately afterwards. And the email gets sent through the Apple hide my email. I’m sure they got more info but they gotta work for the rest.

Once my narwhal stops working (haven’t updated and I’m not giving a penny to Reddit) I’ll likely never go back.

Narwhal is trash compared to Apollo by the way, I only use it for one subreddit. I wish that sub would migrate over here so I can browse using the Voyager app.

How UConn became college basketball’s unlikeliest modern Camelot (theathletic.com)

That this started, or restarted, with a then-75-year-old Jim Calhoun nearly kicking Dan Hurley’s ass is so perfectly Connecticut that the scene should replace the state flag. It was early spring of 2018. Hurley was the recently named UConn head coach and Calhoun was the retired patriarch of the program, one whose endorsement...

I’m sure little weasel Billy Coull is hiding out until things cool off then he’ll be back out fucking over people again. Hopefully the workers run scumbag Billy out of town if they’re not paid.

J12,

If they’re going to argue they have protected rights like a US citizen then when they break the law they can go to jail like a human. Financial crimes, 6 month time out for Amazon. Worker dies because Amazon refuses a break, 25 year timeout.

The nerve of these fuckers.

J12,

Don’t donate too much, Nintendo’s gonna take that shit.

Dude needs to move to a country without Nintendo jurisdiction and restart the GoFundMe. I’d give the dude $100. Fuck Nintendo over that.

J12,

I deleted my Prime! So many good points on this post. My last 2 purchase from Amazon took 2 weeks to get here, which is fine but prime is advertised as 2 days. Amazon prime’s TV selection is for the most part trash & finally Amazon can burn in hell. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to cancel it.

J12,

They do that here on side streets but our highways are non stop pot holes at the moment. I’d love some steel plates on the highways.

J12,

Thanks, I had no idea asphalt was a byproduct of petroleum. Is concrete just rocks?

J12,

I hear people complain about prices of concrete but like you said it could be the wages. I just looked up concrete and it’s $5 for 80lbs. That doesn’t seem terribly expensive for 80lbs. How many bags do you think it would take to do an average driveway?

J12,

The NFL probably is rigged but not for the reasons these fuckheads think.

J12,

I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.

That or learn how to download and host my own content.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.

J12,

Get on board GenX. We’re the future and the soon to be majority, so you might as well join the club. We promise we’ll treat you better than the boomers treated you.

Do any Spanish speaking countries play (American) football and if so what's the best way to watch it?

I’m learning Spanish, and I’m getting decent at reading it but I’m trying to immerse myself in it more since I still can’t understand it very well. so I was wondering if I could find something I really enjoy like football and watch it in Spanish. I know the NFL probably has a Spanish football channel but I like college...

J12,

Awesome, thank you! I just subscribed to their YouTube channel. They have some full games on there which is perfect. Are you a fan of any of those teams?

J12,

I just looked into it and I’m not seeing it on YouTube TV. If I could have my college team in Spanish would definitely be ideal so I’ll try to look into it a little more

J12,

I like the logo for that one. The blue chicken is pretty sharp looking too. If I pick off logos I’m going with Raptors de Naucalpan.

Or if I become a bandwagon I could follow the Caudillos.

J12,

Yeah, I know we’re a Spanish speaking country. My team doesn’t have a Spanish broadcast. There’s a few I found for college football, but we’re in off season and I was thinking they might be currently playing in other countries.

Biden says he is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 Americans (www.cbsnews.com)

President Biden announced Friday that his administration is forgiving $5 billion in student debt for another 74,000 borrowers, marking the latest round of debt cancellation since the Supreme Court voided the president’s student loan forgiveness program....

J12,

Good call, but we need to fix the underlying problem that is the ridiculous price for higher education. With every piece of information online I find it very hard to believe we can’t get average annual tuition down from 20k a year.
