It depends. Restaurants used to get more fresh food pre-COVID because the supply chain was not strained. Since COVID, a lot of restaurants switched to frozen because that is what was available.
COVID has little to do with it. It's all about the industrial mode of production at scale, where desiccated, frozen, and otherwise factory-preserved food is ideal. The average mid-tier restaurant in America is a chain like Applebee's or Carrabba's that has never served fresh chicken in its history. I have been to a well-regarded steak house in Texas that served canned green beans and boxed mashed potatoes with some of the best steak I've ever eaten. Come on. Potatoes keep forever.

Shithole countries have a lot more "fresh" food because they do not have the logistics to keep food longer

European countries have 1st-world logistics, and I have never had restaurant food in France or Spain that's as stale as what I find regularly in the USA. But I also don't go looking for a restaurant and find only a Carl's Jr, a McDonald's, a Chili's, an IHOP, and a Denny's.

I really think what happened is in the 1950s, we took the methods and economies of scale we used to produce the Sherman and the B-25 and applied it to food, and didn't really even notice until 1998 that what this produced was really, really shitty food. Most of the rest of the world just didn't do that.
 
Girl in the third video is probably a native English speaker yet still fucking sucks at it. "does have a citizenship to uh America"
remember that when statistics come out showing how terrible the education system is in America and how far we're falling behind other countries, this is the exact type of person that's causing those statistics. barely literate illegals who are flooding schools and hoarding what little social safety nets that are available

and niggers, of course. but at least they're actual citizens
 
Can't wait for retarded people to switch over to deep seek and feed China all the sensitive information that they've been feeding chatgpt

I know of 3 workplaces where chatgpt is banned because employees kept uploading sensitive data to chatgpt, can't wait until xi has classified plans to whatever
As far as I'm aware, you can freely download and run all of Deepseek's work on your own machine, as long as you have tens of thousands worth in Nvidia gpus. See, their github. This includes R1, the model that released in the last couple weeks that everyone's hyping. Deepseek does have a website you can make an account on to chat with for free without needing any of the technical knowhow on how to do this yourself, so yeah there's gonna be problems there. This isn't really going to be the same situation as with OpenClosedAI, Deepseeks coming out the gate, putting their best work out for everyone to pick apart and customize. OpenAi is full proprietary, greedy as hell, and it's caused them to get cocky and stagnate. You can only use OpenAIs current work through their servers, on their end. OpenAI's way of doing business is a security nightmare, and relying on them makes anybody that does a liability. Fuck Sam Altman.
 
We need a Trump. Farage isn't good enough.
You need rifles. Should have thought of this decades ago though.
Will be interesting to see just how much of American jobs was done by illegals so the companies could keep down the wages.
Really makes you wonder WHY they fought so hard to increase minimum wage?
That would require them to offer minimum wage at the very least. Boomers can't stand paying fair wages. They will close up shop before doing that.
Most illegal immigrants were paid minimum wages.
All these wage-slave positions that are only possible because illegals don't fucking pay taxes and so can live for cheap are going unfilled and the companies will have to start paying CITIZENS a fair wage to attract work. What's funny is the right and the old left-ists are both in agreement that this is a good thing, it's just liberals that don't care about human misery if it means corporate number go up (it does) and price goes down (it doesn't)
A lot of illegal aliens did pay taxes...at least some taxes...and they got the increased minimum wages in the areas they worked. They just file under a valid social security number or identity in e-Verify when they apply for the position, and do the I9 forms. A lot claim an extensive number of dependents so that the employer withholdings are virtually 0. This is why you see so many other places empty. The employer WAS employing illegals, but most likely they provided some other info for e-verify. For instance Amazons not going to pay people under the table to work illegally. But if they dont really look at that ID card too hard when filling out the e-verify its plausible.

They then live stacked up multiple families in a single family residence..either paid for by someone getting section 8, or rented a room or a bunk in a bunkbed. This jacks home prices even in terrible areas as they are being bought by slum lords who'll rent them to 1 or 15 people at 400-500 a month with no background. They then send most of this money home out of our economy, and use our hospitals knowing they will never have to pay. Its still a better existance than the shithole they were living in, while tearing down the standards of living for the US. And what do the liberals do to fix this? Raise minimum wage, give free healthcare, and bring in more illegalrinos.
 
shame bolton is also a never-trump warhawk fucktard who wants to nuke iran so badly he gives off radioactive isotopes. he and lindsey graham could probably power an entire city with their collective energy to throw away more american lives in retarded nigger wars in the middle east on behalf of israel, our greatest and most trusted ally.
It says a lot that Ben Shapiro has fully boarded the Trump train and reveres him in the same way the ancient Hebrews revered Julius Caesar. And this happened after years of Shapiro being one of the harshest right wing critics of Trump.

And yet Bolton an OG Neo-Con can’t forgive Trump for not wanting to spill Blood for The Blood God. For crying out loud Bolton is now an MSNBC guest, that’s as big of a heel turn as a conservative could make. I looked at his most recent tweets and he’s harping that Trump is soft on Iran, I mean what the hell is Trump a hippie in Boltonworld???

When you’re more of a Zionist hawk than Shapiro well I think even Netanyahu would say “Pump the breaks.” I believe Trump that Bolton is nuts. I think Bolton wants WW3 because it’s the only way for Jesus to return to begin the rapture.
 
Where is the basis for Nvidia losing ground coming from? They're still the only company with cards geared mainly towards AI, they lead in that. China doesn't have a domestic ability to produce GPUs that can get anywhere near them. All AI training essentially relies on Nvidia hardware. American AI companies are the ones getting fucked, the ones just in software, like OpenAI. Nvidia is going to make bank off of this.
Why would I need to buy a new card if my old one will work really well? This will scare off investors for sure. Forbes on this question.

As an aside, John Bolton was also responsible for deradicalizing Clarence Thomas from Black Nationalism in college. Thomas lost his wallet and John Bolton returned it, causing Thomas to rethink his views regarding race relations.
Even a broken clock, as they say.

Unless you have 80gb of vram, you aren't going to be running their models at full capacity, which businesses will be wanting. That means more $$$ for Nvidia in the long run, they really don't give a damn about the consumer or enthusiast as much anymore.
 
COVID has little to do with it.
That is simply not true. It's well-known in the F&B industry. Here is an article about it from 2022 by an Informa reporter. Informa is a business intelligence company and is usually accurate.
European countries have 1st-world logistics
Not really. A ton of poultry farmers went bankrupt a few years ago because the EU changed its regulation about cage sizes. EU regulations strain production and logistics which leads to higher prices.
I really think what happened is in the 1950s, we took the methods and economies of scale we used to produce the Sherman and the B-25 and applied it to food, and didn't really even notice until 1998 that what this produced was really, really shitty food. Most of the rest of the world just didn't do that.
What happened in the 1950s is, at the time, people thought that science would make food better. This worked at the time because all the different ways we processed food led to incredible food security. Food security and calories were a huge factor in the Cold War - the US wanted to make sure its people got enough food because they saw how gangly and fucked up people were in Korea (and WWII) from not getting enough food. The end result was most Americans getting enough food and being healthy enough to work and to fight. However, this perspective has clearly outlived its usefulness - all this processed stuff is what leads to obesity when people eat it all the time.
 
John Bolton is one of the few Americans other than the president who has been directly named by the Ayatollah as an enemy in speeches. As an aside, John Bolton was also responsible for deradicalizing Clarence Thomas from Black Nationalism in college. Thomas lost his wallet and John Bolton returned it, causing Thomas to rethink his views regarding race relations.
I didn't know that. Still like Clarence, still hate Bolton.

Bolton also said that the "sucker's and losers" thing never happened and that Milley was full of shit, something that considering the animosity between Trump and Bolton, was pretty noble to go on record about, to no benefit to himself.

Still a war-mongering piece of shit.

"only with criminal record" Is so stupid. It's called Illegal Immigration for a reason.
They get so fucking mad when you point that out. Works every time.

Its also worth saying, minimum wage hikes are ALWAYS inflationary. Theres only so much value a pot smoking 18 year old hire who can only move boxes can bring, and because that value doesn't increase, everything else gets more expensive to match. So it doesn't even help anyone long term, it just devalues savings accounts
 
True. The UK is absolutely fucked because it was our nominally right-wing party implementing all the shitty DEI, net zero and infinite immigrants policies. They get kicked out because everyone is fed up, but replaced by the left who are even worse.

We need a Trump. Farage isn't good enough.
The Conservative Party never took immigration seriously, there’s a reason Enoch Powell was kicked out of the shadow cabinet for actually doing his job and representing his constituents. As for Farage, he is indeed not enough but Rupert Lowe exists for a reason and Musk has already called out Farage for being too weak on certain points.

He's also a warhawk and a RINO. LOL.
