Get happy because this is JUST the beginning.
Are you happy with your Vote? Any RINOs here happy with their vote for the biggest idiot that ever got on to a stage and ran for President?
You are genuinely a stupid man. Is there any right-wing outrage you will not fall for? Your psychotic need to be an asshole and lash out is so overwhelming that you can't be bothered to do even the tiniest bit of fact-checking before posting. And to think you have the gall to say we have TDS and are triggered. Haha, you truly are the least self-aware person on the planet.
Core inflation went up only 0.3%, which is very small. Overall, inflation is pretty close to Fed targets.
And, as it turns out, there are perfectly valid reasons for restaurant closings that have plenty to do with things other than the economy.

Wendy's closing 140 more restaurants as part of push to update its locationsWendy's plans to close 140 U.S. restaurants before the end of this year on top of the 100 it said it would close in May.But in a conference call with investors Thursday, the company said those closures will be offset by new restaurant openings. Wendy's said it plans to open between 250 and 300 restaurants this year.Wendy's President and CEO Kirk Tanner said the restaurants that are closing are underperforming compared to others."They're just in locations that don't build our brands," Tanner said. "You look at a brand that's 55 years old and some of those restaurants are quite out of date."https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/22/food/dennys-closures/index.htmlDenny’s is closing 150 restaurants
That amounts to a tenth of its restaurants, leaving 1,375 locations once completed.
Denny’s is targeting “underperforming restaurants” that are weighing down the company’s financial performance, according to Steve Dunn, Denny’s executive vice president and chief global development officer. The affected locations are either too old to be remodeled or in areas that have become unprofitable.
Denny’s joins a broader trend of restaurants slashing hours since the pandemic. Major shifts in customer behavior, including earlier dinner times and drinking less alcohol late into the evenings, have held back a return to pre-pandemic patterns. Higher labor and food costs have also led restaurants to close earlier.
For Denny’s, Dunn admitted that 24/7 operating hours are a “contraction that happened for everyone” and that less foot traffic during those off hours mean it “didn’t make sense” for a restaurant to remain open.
