Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Donald's Drive-Thru"

"Donald's Drive-Thru"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4107

Though actually quite grim and cringe as hell, I found this news
sickeningly funny somehow, in ways reminiscent of the big-ups drum
beating Sept 2005 BLS jobs report the month after Hurricane Katrina.
Y'think Microsoft was hoping Mickey D's would pick up some of that
layoff headcount?

Then, of course, is the cringingly upbeat economic hard-sell in the
Mickey D's announcement featuring the new Labor Secretary, and the
obvious clumsy-ass tap-dancing they're going to have to do around our
new quack-ass Health & Human Services Secretary – especially seeing as
Big Mac's is one of El Presidente's favorite brands.

You deserve a break today!
