>determined profitability by location

I also heard Chick-fil-A is a lot more controlling in terms of spacing out franchises to avoid overlap and prohibiting ownership groups from owning multiple locations. So determining locations that maximize profitability is a good thing for their franchisees.

Uh yes.

Yeah this is exactly right. I think if you look at the chicken place and decide it’s racist for using things like propensity to eat out and location to large thoroughfares, like the other guy was saying. But then conclude the chicken place is racist, it’s like you weren’t willing to accept any other answer.

These issues are correlated but pointing the finger of causation at the chicken place itself doesn’t make sense and doesn’t lead to any kind of useful solution.

Is relevant, because it’s what they seem to be doing in this article with sexism. Apparently only men are working these specific jobs? That’s not about the trains being built in the wrong location.

I love Robert Hughes take on Koons.

“The slimy assurance, the gross patter about transcendence through art, of a blow-dried Baptist selling swamp acres in Florida”. You can’t imagine America’s singularly depraved culture without him”.

Aussie here, came to the comments to make sense of it, but had to look up both those terms.

I agree with you, but my work involves lawyers and government so that's not going to happen.

But I said to someone else, if the office was all women and half were suffering hot flashes, they shouldn't have to suffer because someone refused to wear a cardigan.

I don't disagree. But until that changes, consider this scenario:

If the office was all women, and half were going through menopause and suffering hot flashes, it would still be fairest to keep the temp slightly lower and ask those who weren't suffering hot flashes to bring a cardigan.

Then you still go with the cooler temperature. Its inefficient to go with the hotter temperature when those that prefer warmer can add a layer.

Idk it's really only been a few decades.

Now run these analytics focusing on crime, homicide, illegal gun usage, illegal drug usage. Please share the results. We need to build up communities before we tell people to invest in places where the analytics tell us it’s a bad investment.

If they opened up a place called “Mudflap’s Oversized Lip-Smackin’ Chicken” and only brought it to black neighborhoods, yes that would be extremely racist. If Chik-Fil-A opened up locations in black neighborhoods and white neighborhoods without significant bias I’m sure no one would care really.

Then the problem is requiring men to wear full suits and ties in summer.

Fight the dress code instead, man. It's stupid that you have to wear suit and tie anywhere, but especially to freakin' work in summertime. If women can wear temperature appropriate clothes, so can men. Shorts it is.

Its basically salting the roads in the winter, but its rock salt mixed with little rocks.

I’d wager men use considerably more toilet paper than women. And the “shortage” was caused by idiots panic buying, not manufacturing.

Are you claiming only women feed babies?! That incredibly stupid. The shortage there was caused by a couple of things, all government related. People receiving WIC are only allowed to purchase certain brands of formula, the government happened to shut down that manufacturer over some bullshit rumors as was too stupid to get them going again in a timely manner.

Never heard about women’s hygiene product shortages. The23 women in my house never had a problem finding any. Maybe if lunatics weren’t pushing to have men’s restrooms stocked with them there wouldn’t be a shortage?

To be faaaaair

Wth is gritting is this title gore or regional slang ?

From what I've read it was only attached by a small tendon and strip of skin. She probably just snipped it off with scissors.

I'm here to find out what a gritting route is. Or perhaps it is a verb?

Me too. Even halfway through reading the article, I was still going "huh?".

I'd go to the one that sells the Louisiana style, because it tastes better.

Part of the reason why the discussion keeps happening is because more and more people are being brought into it. Fresh ears need to hear it, even if the voices are tired.

It's important to know when and how to take breaks from the work so that it doesn't burn you out, and so that you can step back and strategize about where you're going to put your time and energy.

Well said. I have a hard time understanding the motivation behind this approach for a business of any kind, let alone a fast food chicken chain.

No. I’m arguing there may be a competitor who already has that market
