What I love is that this hypothesis is completely testable, and no one who spouts it bothers to check the numbers.

We've tried it twice on a grand scale, and it's failed both times.

Prickly came back a while ago, IIRC, and he wasn't happy with the way he was treated.   :sad:

Quote from: Doktor Howl
McDonalds, if you think about it, is the PERFECT example of life/lifestyles in the late 20th/early 21st century. Pink slime shaped like chicken nuggets, giant lawsuit-happy corporations suing people for using the prefix "Mc" no matter what the circumstances, marketing aimed at small children (Ronald, etc) to form life-long associations with the product, and the abysmally-effective "I'M LOVING IT" marketing ploy aimed at maintaining that association into the person's adult life...With the advertisement showing skinny, attractive people while in reality the AVERAGE customer is 45 pounds overweight.

All style, no substance almost-food sold to brainwashed masses. It's AMERICA™, in a white paper bag.

Ohh!  Also, you know, they could RAISE THE TAXES on outsourced labor and materials.  That would make them keep jobs at home, too!

It's about as simple and effective as deregulating everything. :lulz:
