sometimes life is stranger than fiction

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t." - MarkTwain

are times I feel as if I can relate to Homer Simpson.

The stupidity of people should never be underestimated.

back today because my son likes Egg McMuffins. There was a pup (I think they're like 28' long) blocking the drive through lane completely, so had to make another U Turn and take another left turn to come up from behind. Now the driver could be a little more conscious/courteous, I dunno if McD's uses a 3PL or this is their own employee. But with the pandemic, that last thing you want to is to shut down the drive through.

Anyway, they're rude as can be hahahahahahahaha

So I decided to look at a CPI inflation calculator. I worked at a restaurant at age 16 and it taught me valuable lessons I use today. Calculate what I made at 19 at a Cadillac Olds dealer, and it comes out to $8.62/hr in 2021 (if you can believe it, that $8.62 buys more fast food in 2021, than what I could get with an hour's pay back then--one hour's pay could not buy a so called meal with sandwich, fries, and drink, almost 1 1/2 hours pay. I also delivered pizza at 19-20 and a small 3 topping was $11.25--in 2021 a large 3 topping is $7.99!!). These folks are making what $15/hr, and they do that kind of job? I understand life is not just money. What ever happened to this notion you're a server today but you could be a manager and regional vp one day?

Homer Simpson follies lol
