I'm gonna agree! I really hated BK like 10 years ago because of pricing and they took away chicken fries, introduced nuggets that were awful and just generally worse food it seemed. I tried them a bunch last year just to see how they were doing and I gotta say the fries were improved, the chicken fries are back and even the nuggets tasted better now. The burgers were always decent and not much change. Add in the app with the offers and discounts and the pricing is no worse than the rest, sometimes it's cheaper now.

Just to make it known, when I say good I'm talking about fast food good not that it's impressive. If anything it's just comfort food since we did have this or McDonald's from time to time growing up. Fridays was the one day were cooking didn't happen, and if we didn't get pizza or Chinese, it would probably be this (my father hated it haha).

I feel like that's a personal preference. I remember my wife's father dying, and her mother was an emotional wreck. She was so angry that people kept giving her food, and it just upset her more every time something was left. Obviously, she was kind to the people, but after they left, she was angry and basically told all her siblings take it all now otherwise it's being thrown out. She threw out tons of good food...

I don't agree with that, but the one thing I did notice was it's also difficult to even manage getting all that food as well. It became it's own problem since finding places to put it all was hard, and I'm sure not something you wanna deal with at that time either.

On the other hand this was all in the first week, OP states it's been a few weeks, and maybe it would be nice to receive since they probably aren't getting much now.

Be careful, I had a friend who only listened to Nine Inch Nails. I really liked NIN. His obsession was too much. I hung out with him a lot growing up, like sleepovers every other weekend stuff like that. When I did sleep over, he could only go to sleep by putting on a NIN cd on repeat... let's just say it's been over 20 years since that, and I still have no interest to ever listen to them again. I like Radiohead and would not want this same fate for them.

Yeah, it was really hard... I was only able to do it by shooting without moving, which made the other weaker enemies come to me and then just shot them as they approached. Moving forward was instant death every time.

There will be consequences. Who knows how long it will take. Seems like we're getting close to that breaking point. There always used to be that fine line were they took just enough so people can survive. Now they are all just extra greedy and took too it all. Tons of people have now used their savings, safety nets, and maxed out credit cards to survive. There's already more people than ever going homeless and defaulting on loans and credit cards. It won't be long before an even higher percentage of people have no more options and get desperate. These price increases are just one of the direct causes for failing to survive. I say there's only a few more years until something big happens.

Just my opinion. I am one of the people effected by price increases and I feel like I make a decent living. I can't imagine how people who make even less do it...

Sweet! That's the one I was thinking.

Someone near us put up a large banner on their front lawn stating how many people go bankrupt from medical debt every day. To me, it's super depressing because the only way I see someone doing that is if it happened to them or a family member.

We are a nation that has everything we could ever need to fix these issues and more, yet we choose not to. This country is just sad...

This had me look and see the current list of oldest people and wiki has a top 50 list. The craziest thing about the list? Only 1 male on the entire list, and he is number 49th!

She also had 4 children, and only 2 are still alive. Just says they had them in her 20s, so even those 2 kids have to be in their 80s now.
