Once global warming gets into high gear the ability for anyone to make money is going to be drastically curtailed. Trillion is an achievable goal, and it would cement him as the richest man who has ever lived and would keep his name in the history books for as long as we're still printing them. Like I said, it's a hope.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Is it even possible for a Ma Bell enforced breakup in 2020 Late to this party, but NPR's Planet Money podcast did an excellent series on Antitrust. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/...nited%20States. Antitrust laws are overdue an adjustment in my opinion. Along with our overall financial policy. There is so much brokenness that can be traced back to the Nixon administration.

Aw. I actually kind of like Fuddruckers. They have that topping bar, plus buffalo and ostrich burgers. I only eat there when I go to Vegas, because they have one at the Orleans, but still.

I saw a reply to another story about the liquidation with the person saying they liked Luby's but was always worried some old person would come through the wall in their car and I was thinking are they not aware of what Luby's is most infamous for?

These are four very American paragraphs.quote:The Luby's shooting, also known as the Luby's massacre, was a mass shooting that took place on October 16, 1991, at a Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas. The perpetrator, George Hennard, drove his pickup truck through the front window of the restaurant. He quickly shot and killed 23 people, and wounded 27 others. He had a brief shootout with police, refused their orders to surrender, and fatally shot himself.

Don't forget the woman who got elected to the Texas legislature after her parents were murdered in the massacre and got Texas's gun laws changed for the worse because she thought that if she didn't have to leave her gun in her car she would've stopped it.

I wanna say HBO had a documentary where it was talked about in the mid to late 90s and I saw that as well - it's how I found out about the lady helping make the law worse. The previous record holder happened a year before I was born (also at a chain restaurant - a McDonald's) so I didn't hear about that one until much later in life.

This is not just an irrational fear. It literally happened to me. Some old lady confused brake and gas, and drove through the window at the booth I was sitting in. Don't worry, I have since broken up with the girl that insisted at eating at Luby's.

I didn't mean his fear was irrational I meant that Luby's is most famous for a guy driving through the glass front and murdering 23 people and that reply was written like he didn't know that.

Oh yeah. And knowing about that history when a car crashes into Luby's next to you does heighten the experience somewhat.

I always confuse Luby’s and Grandy’s. All I know is that I had the worst breakfast buffet ever at Grandy’s and it made multiple people sick. So maybe I just thought they were gone already.

Luby's tastes like childhood because we used to go there after church when I was a kid, but honestly I didn't know they were still a thing since I haven't really been there in 25-30 years want me some of that mac and cheese and fried fish now though

Hell, PoFolks went out of business a long time ago around here and I still miss their giant cathead biscuits that we’d eat there and take home for later as a kid. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
