It's a reference to the episode with Frank Grimes. He's a guy who does everything by the book and has little to show for it while Homer bumbles through life and gets everything. Frank is super envious of Homer. Excellent episode.

too late. am now an anti-dentite. you convinced me.

"Things can't be better because if they're better they'll be more expensive."

Could have said the same thing about the 40 hour work week. We should all go back to 60 hour weeks so that we can save all that money then!

it's really not. the most charitable thing you could ascribe to this lady is she's assumed the wrong priors.

perhaps in her head DQ and similar jobs should be staffed only by teenagers making spending money in a world where adults are so gainfully employed that they have no need to work here.

that is not the world we live in today. it may or may not have existed in the past. it certainly doesn't under our corporate overlords today. advocating for low wages for these jobs today is advocating for people to struggle, to overcrowd their apartments, and to resort to desperate means to survive.

What a waste of plastic for something that's just getting tossed at the end of the movie.

2h is a long ass trip we've just been gaslit

The tip absolutely goes to the dasher. The screwed up system aside you are only compounding the exploitation of the delivery driver.

Don't use the app but don't get mad at a system that you're choosing to participate in and actively making worse.

You have to be pretty narrow minded and inexperienced to not be capable of imagining a situation where a massive pothole is unavoidable.

Only the NYTs could look at all the pro-fossil fuel insanity that has come out of this conference and say "ackshually, it's good". What a trash rag.

Wow whole bunch of old man takes about computers and not a single one about public schools being systematically defunded, dismantled, and squeezed in every way possible.

While I agree cars themselves are just insanely expensive. A $25k car has you at $450+/month and this is if you have excellent credit.

We need other options besides cars and unfortunately they're the only option for many people.

Exactly. It was easy to partition them off.
