But why pick on JUST females? Males should know the basics too. God gave them two hands as well. Certainly well enough to whip up a burger. Most of the males that cook do a good job of it too. EVERYONE should know the basics.

That’s an ideal. Back when there was some degree of honesty anywhere, even in government, if someone broke the rules it was often obvious. But the standard now is discretion when breaking the rules, followed by denial and quick destruction of evidence and legal stonewalling. If that sounds familiar, it is.

At the corporate level, a lot of it began with a surfeit of lawsuits against typically legal criticism. For example, if an employee was fired for stealing, yet used his former employer as a reference, and they told his potential employer why he was fired, they would get sued.

So most corporations refuse to give any references at all. But if an employee was particularly heinous, they have many ways of indirectly indicating that he should not be hired.

This just knocks it up a notch. There are innumerable lists in the “listverse” on the Internet. Vast numbers of them are little more than people’s names and are password bot protected. If say, 5% of the names on the very long list are union agitators, and the other 95% are random names, it would be a superb blacklist.

Say McDonalds got a whole bunch of new potential hires. Somebody in their corporate hiring office checks the list, then authorizes the hiring of the needed percentage of potential hires, not hiring the rest, which includes the union troublemakers. That should be invisible enough to escape scrutiny, as long as there is no direct computer “paper trail”. That is, no corporate computers were used.

The one employee, the list manager, lives in another country, and is on an obscure payroll.

everyone should go to mcdonalds.com, email them that you want automated front end and food prep. Let them know you support them. If you do. If not, just prepare to pony up double for anything you currently buy there. no way around it. they are stripped to the bone already on profit margins.

How is that “picking on” females?

When my husband was a teenager, his father showed him a few cooking basics...told him he should know how to feed himself without having to rely on fast food and takeout, because he would be on his own soon. I took over when we got married.

I don’t have a problem with men being in the kitchen. But I also don’t mind admitting I like the traditional setup, with the wife taking care of that side of things.

Corporate?

Probably 85% of McWhoppers are franchises.

Corporate just sticks their hand out collecting franchise fees and payments...

Once again, it's the foreigners, Muslims and assorted whatever from Ustinkistan who for years have been coming in with wheel barrels full of cash buying up these franchises. They've been buying up all the greedymarts, hotel chains, and McWhopper franchises and on and on.

And they hire their own foreign family and and muzzie friends to cook the books and to help avoid all that legal mumbo jumbo.

It's all part of the chaos and decline.
