    I'm thinking you have your own problems:

    Cracker Barrel's Facebook page doesn't normally spark much discussion,
    but that changed when the company said this week that it is adding a plant-based sausage patty to the restaurant chain's menu.

    Suddenly, customers swarmed the page, with some calling the decision a
    "crock" and "garbage" and vowing never to return. By Thursday morning,
    the Facebook post had drawn more than 7,000 comments, compared with the
    usual 100 or so replies to a typical Cracker Barrel post.

    "Are you kidding me? Who do you think your customer base is?" one person
    wrote. "I still order the double meat breakfast and it's not even on the
    menu anymore."

    I have family in Seattle. Not all that close to Portland but for $8.7 mil savings I would take the detour.

    No mask for me or from what I’m seeing about 75% of these libs. This is a beautiful area. Too bad the politics are ugly.

    If you wear blue jeans, I strongly suggest that you wear Levi's
    instead of Wranglers when you go up there. ------------------------------------------------------------
    Even clothes have become fully politicized in 2041. As Americans
    sought for evermore obvious ways to flaunt their tribal allegiances,
    two brands that were previously middle-of-the-pack retailers — Levi’s
    and Wrangler — have become corporate juggernauts. At Democratic
    rallies around the country, the red Levi’s logo is just as ubiquitous
    as red Make America Great Again hats were during the 2016 presidential campaign. In Republican strongholds, Wrangler jeans are as common as
    Nike shoes.
    ---------------------------------------------------------- https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/23/business/dealbook/companies-politics-partisan.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20220805&instance_id=68510&nl=the-morning&regi_id=70663888&segment_id=100527&te=1&user_id=86978059d95a9105c5d08ceea5446896

    I realize it's not 2041 yet, but things are evolving faster than they
    used to, and the passage of time is significant and even the passage
    of time can evolve - as can be witnessed by the recent speeding up of
    the Earth's rotation. We may even be on the cusp of witnessing
    partisan Congressional committees interminably battling each other
    over whether or not to efficaciously reorient and recalculate the
    calculus of the metrics of leap year. (triangulation on this issue is,
    of course, not on the table)

    So. At the end of the day going forward, the next to the last thing
    you want to do is get caught in politically inappropriate jeans
    up/over there - things could get real ugly real fast. When everything
    is on the table - and they continuously tell me that it is - err on
    the side of caution as you go forward toward the end of the day in the
    PNW.

    And finally, if you don't follow - or at least ponder - my advice,
    don't blame me if you get caught unawares when an inflection point
    sneaks up on you.

    LOL Now *THAT* is some serious suffering. Poor ol' jive ass out
    cruising down the freeways in his land yacht, burning precious dinosaur
    juice that ain't hardly no one can afford--and all he can think of is
    me. lol Or his strawman version of me, and the millions of dollars he
    invented for him, to be more precise. To make matters worse, I can't
    help him, even if I wanted to. No matter what I say he'll never believe
    me. His strawman doesn't live here I have no idea if he grinds his own electrons, or what. Poor ol' jive ass is doomed to search for his white whale/strawman forever. <LOUD CACKLE>

    I love it when I can touch a liberal nerve. Anyway, dumb ass, I said
    nothing about being in a land yacht. You should stay off your ladder of inference before you fall off and bust your pompous ass.
