Am I the only person who thinks it is strange that a UK-owned conglomerate runs the food services at the US Capitol? There wasn’t a single US company that could have won the contracts and provided the catering?

And a verified US staff?

It's not so strange if one considers D.C. and it's various seats of power as auctioned off during various times in our history.

What? You haven't heard that British cuisine is renowned throughout the world?

.....

Wait, was that positive or negative renown?

I'm guessing they had to get people from outside the US who weren't familiar with the clientele they'd have to deal with.

couldn’t careless if the company is UK owned as they’re our best ally who are spilling their blood to help us in our war.
Plus this is how the system works, companies put bids in to get the job and I couldn’t give a crap about if they were black who used to do the cooking.

I care more about if illegals work there and more importantly why this congressman is using our tax money for this idiotic lawsuit.

Hang on are you not the poster just yesterday who also pointed out how those producers for MTV were British too?

Not saying you have a theme here but yesterday and now today.

Also real men do not eat veggies wraps either, still the Dem men are never masculine anyway.
Butch women and girlie men is what makes up the left and then they call for violence against the right, ARF
