    This with their slogan “we’ve got the meats” and there is a good cannibalism joke somewhere in there.

    Yes, charity is great. Fixing society level problems with society level solutions is better. We need to get salaries higher and limit the cost of living increases. For food the best way is to stop paying farmers to under produce and instead work on getting the price to move food down. Let the price for food rush to the bottom and at the same time increase the salaries of everyone on the bottom.

      Yeah, I was thinking for what arby’s pays lobbyists to avoid taxes and wage increases, they could lobby once more for higher wages, higher taxes on wealthy and corporations, lower retail cost, and more government dollars for free, comprehensive, quality food, education and healthcare and just fix the problem. The C employees and board wouldn’t even have to do without another yacht to do it, just budget better.
