Hey, that dude was in West of Loathing. Now I know he was a real dude.

Legal Eagle did a video on this recently. He has a federal and a few state trials and a personal and business bankruptcy thing going. The families are in disagreement on how to get the money. Some want to shut the show down and don't care about the money, and some want to go the seize assets route.
There are different federal and state cases to resolve. He also gave his parents some of his assets and he tries to sell his parents supplements now in order to work around the court order since it's his parents making money and not him.
I would like to think that people are doing that, but we just don't know about it, yet. Just like I hope there are some people signing up for project 2025 with the intent to sabotage it, if they get picked.
Probably not happening, but it would be nice if it was.
Oh great! So someone couldn't pull themselves up by their bootstraps and now they want a hand-out. I bet this "toddler" doesn't even pay taxes.

Two things from Wendy's:
First bring back the old chicken nugget meat. The spicy nuggets taste like trash now.
Second that Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
I still thing this was the best MK film made. This was bad but good. The second one was just bad. The new one was close to being good, but was taking itself too seriously. I think the first one has the best balance.
I just meant what the food was didn't matter. It was having a good to come together around and share in the togetherness.
I know this whole celebration of Juneteenth is new, so the foods will take some time to become official. BBQ and red food is just as good as any other made up meal, in my opinion.
I wish we focused more on black (or at least local) owned businesses for Juneteenth. Of course, holidays get commercialized like crazy, so I'm sure some businesses will pander too much and make a fool of themselves.
On a side note, I heard Japan celebrates Christmas with KFC. Apparently that's the idea that got sold to Japan for how Americans celebrate Christmas. I wouldn't be surprised if some countries think Americans eat burgers and fries for Thanksgiving.

You can delegate responsibility but not accountability. The owners would still be accountable.
I mean I get that. I just don't personally see it as that. I do eat fried chicken and watermelon (and other soul food like greens, sweet potatoes, etc). I don't eat them as much as I want because the places around me don't make good soul food anymore. The quality is down in my opinion.
I mentioned the day because all holiday celebrations include food. I also mentioned in my opinion, that everyone loves that type of food. I just didn't think of it as "black food" but I know it is stereotypically a trope. I think this understanding of other people's racist tropes and my love of celebrating with loved ones and good food is where I (and assuming OP) is coming from.
Is the main issue the intent? If you eat corned beef for St Paddy's or carne asada for Cinco de Mayo is that an issue? If we ask black people what we should eat for Black History Month or Juneteenth and they agreed that soul food is good then is it okay? Should we just stick to burgers and dogs like it's the 4th of July?
I feel we can never really have these conversations (IRL) because people assume what the other person means when they are trying to understand the reason behind it.
All that to say, we have to be extra vigilant because racists are everywhere pushing their agenda, so I understand that this trope could be insulting to some. I've also met black people that don't give it a second thought because the food is good and they were hungry.
Yes. I tell anyone I can at work about the public library and how you can use Libby or Hoopla to get free books. Some audio books for those not wanting to read. It is a great asset.
