My biggest problem with the “Waffle House Index” is that Waffle House shouldn’t be able to make these fucking decisions.

For a Waffle House to be open that requires staff be there, and it’s not like that staff magically teleports north when their shift is over. If Waffle House closes at the last possible second how are you, the Waffle House employee, supposed to evacuate?

They should be forcibly shut down by the state long before they themselves are deciding to.

“We’re reclaiming our real ancestral lands. Bavaria.”

I’ll be honest it took me a minute to figure out what they could’ve meant aside from this

That fully reads as “Xi Jinping says Marxism because you’re too stupid to understand dialectical materialism”

Not Jordan, Syria. The US keeps saying Jordan but it was at the Al Tanf base in Syria (where US troops should not be under US law, let alone international law)

Capitalism only works on paper, it doesn’t take human nature into account
