I'm glad there are some people who see that American "capitalism" is actually now a game of financial engineering, based on the money cult's access to gobs of printed, fiat money at low interest rates, from our monetary central-planning apparatchiks.

First things to go will be the “In God we Trust” and “God Bless America” signs...

When they move a franchise to chicago, the new expression will be...

“...let’s go to Whataburger and get our buns toasted...”
“...sure, but don’t forget your body armor...”

This is not surprising but it can only be hoped that the “Chic-Fil-A” effect will instill a level of quality control that actually allows us who don’t live in Texas (anymore) to get two hands on a whatburger.

I love Whataburger. It’s sign is my landmark for my right turn off a high speed heavy traffic road that is otherwise hard to discern. As for the food? I don’t know. Never ate there.

Ed Nelson, Whataburger’s chief financial officer and controller, will become the company’s president.

CFO and controller... yep, it's all about the food, pardner.

I'm not even a Texan and this news pisses me off to no end.
