“$4.99 salad bar at Sizzler”

Perhaps before my time but I was well into adulthood before even hearing of “all you can eat” places like Sizzler. Coming up I never went to bed hungry but steady helpings of “taters & maters” got old. Best I can say as a recommend for “Stone Soup” is that it’s hot...on a good day.

paid leave for parents should be a “national right”.

Based on what? How many other “rights” are we endowed with that others must pay for?

In the mid-90’s I was a young Marine officer flying F/A-18’s in California. I practically lived off that $4.99 Sizzler salad bar for lunch. I certainly didn’t consider myself poor, in fact I felt like I’d hit the jackpot with my career. That salad bar was a pretty danged good meal, you’d have to be pretty entitled to think that it was beneath you to eat it.

“Poor” Meghan in her nice car (with “Classy Girl” license plate holder) shopping in Beverly Hills just prior to leaving for Northwestern University, which daddy also paid for. The Douchess of Sussex (a title with zero meaning in the USA) is a complete fraud.

Oh Poor little MeAgain.

I remember the Sizzler Salad Bar or the equivalent being a rare treat, and my parents were far from struggling.

Yea, sweetie, and you used to be able to eat a steak at a diner for $0.50

At a salad bar, a well stocked one, you can feed a family quite well. And besides I’ve heard veggies are cool.

In late ‘80’s early ‘90’s $4.99 was not cheap for a lunch, and Sizzler was not a bad place to eat.

She had it good.

Exactly what constituency do Pelosi and Schumer think this woman has? Are there ten or twenty Americans who care enough to dislike the House of Windsor, thus admiring her small part of dragging it down? Obviously Sparkle Markle wants attention, but do the Dems actually think she’ll influence anyone to support their communist crap who doesn’t already?

the person who insisted on moving to America for ‘privacy’ and who didn’t want her children to have titles, while clinging desperately to her own British title needs to butt out of American politics, since her loyalties lie elsewhere - like Canada.

When THEY talk about struggling and ‘doing without’, it show how little familiarity they have with ACTUAL grinding poverty and deprivation.

I'm STILL waiting for someone to give us a total calculation of the BILLIONS that are available, annually, to the ‘under served’ in the US.

Between the money taken from taxpayers and the MANY government programs and agencies which provide for them, NO ONE in the US needs to be starving or even homeless.

There's a church on every street corner and wall-to-wall charities.

Seriously, I know people who claim they're struggling but who all have the latest, most expensive cell phones and a newer car than I do.....etc. Their perspective on ‘doing without’ is not realistic!

The only thing she can’t afford these days is the truth.
