The SCOTUS needs to give the elected POTUS his executive powers back so he can start “right sizing” the number of Government Employees who haven’t got a clue what their job description is or when and where they are supposed to go to work.

Pepsi owns Lays. Snacks are getting so overpriced people aren’t buying them as they once did.

A bag of chips that was once $1.00-$2.00 is now $6.99-$7.99.

They’re probably going to cheapen the ingredients now and cut quality control.

Everything sucks now.

Every government worker is someone who does not have their job in the private sector.

Ax government jobs!

At one time or another, both Fritos and Cheetos have been major food groups for me.

And the bags of chips are half empty.

They have raised the prices and reduced the portion sizes.

The air in the bag is there to prevent crushing. You pay for the weight if the product. Not the air.

Looks like Pepsi thinks they can cut back on employees & pay shareholders more maybe. Let me know if that works out.

They’ll can a bunch of temp agency hires, no matter their productivity, to show they’re “doing something.”

All the while keepimg the DEI bloat in management and the PepsiCo payroll.

They won’t be the only ones doing this. Corporations in America have a playbook that has been working for them for the last 30 to 40 years & they’re sticking to it.
