    I was exhausted and hungry during a long day stuck in airports recently. Most other food locations had closed, and those that didn’t were predictably 30-40% more expensive than they should have been because “Fuck you yee sorry consumer, what are you going to do - go outside our massive state security apparatus into the car based hell we call “America” and find some decent food at a decent price? Of course not. You’re a captured market and you know it. Now pay $20 for a sandwich or else!”

    I ended up trying McDonald’s for the first time in like 8 years (last ate it when I was in college) and it was just the most disgusting piss poor excuse for a meal I’ve ever had. Literally bottom of the barrel slop, worse than any other fast food restaurant I’ve been to.

      There was something last year about a foreign editor leaving/being forced out over covid reporting iirc, but the site’s not stopped posting.
