What is it that the alkies say - 'Lord grant me the security of knowing whats wrong with people and the wisdom to shut the fuck up about it '- or something like that? Yeah, well, that shit don't float in the house I live in. It is certainly true that 'at my age' I'm not about to make any drastic changes in my life or lifestyle, it's equally true that someone around here will consistently bust my chops about all of it. Juss' sayin', and I ain't complainin'...

Jupiter 'shepherds' the asteroid belt, preventing the asteroids from falling into the sun or accreting into a new planet...
It takes Jupiter 11 of 'our' years to rotate around the sun. Remember, it's the earth's rotation around the sun that is the basis of all of our time and measurement systems - all of which are contrived and arbitrary. How old did you say you are? What time is it?

Well, anyway, according to CNN Business' website, McDonald’s is the latest US corporation — and among the largest — to back off some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, as a Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action and conservative backlash to those programs continues to lead businesses to reevaluate their diversity pledges.
The company in a statement released today said it is sunsetting its specific diversity goals, including requiring its suppliers to commit to certain DEI targets. And it will stop participating in external surveys that measure corporate diversity. McDonald’s is also changing the name of its diversity team to the Global Inclusion Team — a common practice for many other companies that have rolled back diversity pledges.

That $5.50 Allman Bros ticket would be about $40.50 in today's money. That was back when the venue took a very small portion and they sold the ticket.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to McDonald's menu and the $.49 Big Mac: In 1969, when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton in So CA and they introduced the Big Mac... I remember taking two of my US Marine buddies to MacDoo-Doos and getting three Big Mac's for $1.00.
ReplyDeletePlus, that money would fill up the whole tank on a caddie back then.
