Nope. The Philadelphia Eagles were mostly responsible for the first house with help from shamrock shakes proceeds.

Well in some areas there may very well have been tax breaks and other economic incentives to place his business there.

Maybe in your neck of the woods. In northern Indiana I have yet to experience fully cooked McDonald’s fries. First world problem.

Why you be axing dat?

Seriously, in order to attract businesses to certain areas cities often make those area a special taxing district sometimes called an enterprise zone. Usually the financial incentives require a certain number of the local demographic be hired at a certain rate.

IMO the McDonald CEO did not say anything racist.

McDonald fries are just soso since they stopped frying in lard in 1990 thanks to some do gooder activist.

They were great before then.

“They were great before then.”

All of their products have gone downhill over the years. That’s what you get for trying to appease people that hate you and would never buy your products anyway.

Lefties blaming others for their own failures. What’s new.

Still better than a lot of others. Burger King fries are revolting.

Balthazar is traditionally one of the names of the Three Wise Men (along with Caspar and Melchior).

A text Kempczinski sent Lightfoot in April and revealed this week show the CEO pinning blame on parents for the deaths of 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams. The texts were made public through a Freedom of Information Act request filed by a man in Canada investigating a separate matter in Portland, Oregon. "With both, the parents failed those kids which I know is something you can’t say. Even harder to fix," Kempczinski texted Lightfoot.

....and he's wrong, how?

How is this racist?

I reject the basic premise this article is pinned on.

I would tend to agree. The 7-year old was sad collateral damage, the real target was her father. The perps were in a gang, the motive is not fully described. The 12-year old was wandering the streets of Chicago at 2:30am?

So yes I think it is fair to question the parenting. The parents did not abuse the children but I think it fair to say that if the parents could have prevented these tragedies from occurring. My kids are not out at 2:30am.

Nothing racist about this. Daniel Moynihan observed the breakdown of the black family in the 1960’s and saw where it would lead.
