Great Wall, Pandas, and Mcdonald's

I recently made a chicken bake. Costco sells it in their concession area. It is pizza dough with chicken, Caesar Salad dressing, bacon and cheese. I did add cooked onions to it. It was good. Looking at it, I had an idea. Do it on a smaller scale and I can make my own Hop Pockets. I could change the filling to pizza sauce/pepperoni, Ham and cheese, etc! Then, I can freeze them for the family to each for lunches. The way things are going, I can feel better knowing it does not have as many preservatives in it. Plus I can make what ever combo I can think of.

When I was younger, I had a love of reading. Maybe not all books. One thing that really pissed me off was when I read about books people were trying to ban. I made it a point to read those books. My school had some decent books that we had to read. Some were not for me. I hate when someone says I can not read something. It just motivates me. Catcher in the Rye, Shogun, anything Stephen King, Death Be Not Proud, etc. I still am trying to look for books that hit the banned list. If they are banning it, it must be good. It also has important messages from the writers. If you want a good book, look at what governments are trying to ban! It would be interesting to see what they currently have teens reading in school. I know Florida is probably forcing alternate universe history where America does no wrong and African Americans loved slavery because it gave them a skill. Banned Books Buy Now

Trump's Iranian war is getting worse. They have found a way to really put the hurt on the rest of the world by attacking oil. Our prices are getting out of hand. What does our leader do about it? He tells Ukraine to stop bombing Russian oil. Why not tell Russia to stop bombing civilians! He wants everyone to think Ukraine is driving up their gas prices. It is trump's war and the stupidity around it. They did no research. They thought it would be like Venezuela. I guess they missed where Iran has been sanctioned to death and still survives. Now they are turning the tables. Eventually people in the US will turn on trump. Hopefully, it will be at the ballot box.

I went by Sonic yesterday. I had a free birthday milkshake. I entered it into the app. At the end, it asked if I wanted to go with the regular tip of 30%. They did not give a $0 choice. You could go under custom and put $0. Why not just pay your employees? If you have to raise prices, than so be it. I am tired of being asked to tip. You see it everywhere. This is for jobs that do not usually get tipped, like a clerk in a grocery store. Even the fast food places are ridiculous to ask for them. All while the CEO's make millions. I loved it when people of other countries came to America and ran into tipping. They refused to pay and said the employers should pay them what they are worth. Tipping is almost like the homeless holding out signs. Only these people are actually working, just not getting much in pay. The Republican way of life. They like letting big companies underpay their employees and give them meaningless insurance.
