Welcome back to the show my name is met, my name is noble. They call me, then we are joined as always with our supper, producer, Paul mission, control, deck and, most importantly, Are you you are here, and that makes this stuff. They don't want you to know all Well, it's been a pretty interesting couple of weeks for us over here. Fellow conspiracy, realist our collect

day today, has been kind of like a never ending action montage and for many of us listening to date, the modern world is one example of that. Sometimes it feels like you never get a break. This fight with the kit, Kat commercial, would have you believe, and others never enough time, do the things you wanna do or to do the things you need to do We ve got a lot of people with really audience today, not Nat, nor you, both our fathers, yourselves and you ever get to a point where you're like I've gotta feed this kid. I gotta do something who's gonna, you know, but I also to do these other twelve things before I got a call them. Time, Oh yeah really is a problem because, as a parent, you want to feed your child, the healthiest thing you possibly can, but that takes time a lot of the time

No, no! No! That's accurate map, but not only that lake at an awful lot of non parents at their know. This but kids are very pick eaters, and my kids diet consists largely of things that I hide in spaghetti spaghetti. Can chicken nuggets try to get the organic ones. You know from the store, but occasionally we'll go for those reno, weird moulded, Mcdonald's nux, which I think are delicious, but there is a whole lot do that, and those there is, there is a whole out to those now get specific We have a poultry episode in their future doorway, but this this is something that doesn't just apply. to those of us in the audience have children. This applies to everybody, are you who lives in most of modern society? I mean consider that post industrial age people have regimented lunch.

weeks right of their lucky enough to have a lunch break it all, and that's that means that at some point you have what thirty minutes to eat And if you are like many many people, it's just time to run to the closest fast asleep in the ear of it tell stuff to shove in your mouth shove that in your mouth and then maybe use the restroom and wash your hands before you go back to make a widgets and you. You know you had the alternative, which is you could take out of your personal, your free time, another bureau, twenty thirty minutes whatever to make yourself something too round back into work. What we are saying is that people have historic, I felt like there were not enough hours in the day at some point, and this has accelerated in

modern age, which is you know if you listen to this by cost, when it comes out with you, Intuit hundreds of years from now. We hope it doesn't sound silly when we call this the modern age, but that's where we're at two thousand and twenty one since ancient times human beings searching for more convenient solutions to this problem of time. In terms of like the necessities, people have to satisfy every twenty four, hours. Food is no exception, and that is why today elegance beers, realist, we are talking about fast food. Here are the acts, and this is also by the way, a side plug for our weekly strange new segment do we talked about it new installation of sorts in historical installation. That's going to be a for tourists in pay. It just a an example of an early fast food like store

or a stall right where you could quickly up to a counter. But you needed in food, and then take it away and it was just fastened for us to look at that something that eggs for us right now still existed two thousand years ago, not inexact, play the same form but in a similar enough way that weak. Recognize it easily, and it made us think about the future for sure yeah Thermo, Polio link was called right. Hot. food and drink shop. Was the way where, if the wine was tasting off their these fermented father beans, there were throw away. So people were still try to get variety, each other. Even back that you know what This reminds me of two in terms of fast food given that we come across in our other show Ben ridiculous history, there is something I think it was colic forever stew. Where

taverns would literally does have this constant boiling part of whatever, and they would just. Add to it and it never depleted. They would just keep putting garbage do it and we would just get a lane. Eleven may come and stay for the night, but literally, was just out all the time in, it's not too far off frost Invest food restaurant be ok. Obviously there are sanitary, more sanitary conditions, calls and all of that, but you know it's the same deal with everything about like the burghers that stay out under those heat lamp see now all day or the nuts stay in those like giant bins or those trays and those like racks really interesting you guys, yeah. I teach Zachary Signal. I just was trying to visualize this ban and we want to put this other you what you think about this picture, I wanna paid because we are really talking about as humans go from gathered, so

in a small, even a village like before village, very A very small amount of area covered by the group of humans living in one place and The food sources are usually right outside of that area. or even within contained within in some places or if you got No cattle were XIV chickens or whatever your keeping as as humans device into more and more dense living conditions right with industrialization these kinds of things, the food sources are pushed further infer. they're from the centre of where the humans are gathering right. So then you have to have that food source kind of peace, It has to come into the city into the village into the town, the castle, whatever it is, why you need these places like that stall in palm pay, where the food is available in here, but it's not in the same form than it was when it was. You know where it's originating in that more raw form, yet you nailed it met this hurry

very well said. First also, no you're right about you write about the stew and if we're gonna be optimistic, we have to say that statistically here food sanitation. Aside right, hygiene aside, there had to be at least a few. A few moments where that's do was on expect thirdly, the bomb in oh, oh yeah. I know right now, everybody loves its due reminds me of Karl weathers in indirect development, where he tat YE saves the bone from his chicken and then he says, let you does you take this. He put Ella put it part of our water. You got yourself still go on.

But but but yes gather absolutely right the because there there is something that the this due in the transportation proper problem have in common, which is something must be kept edible. Somehow so we're talking about this, this transportation problem starting shortly after human beings started adapting stationary lifestyles, meaning no longer nomadic hunter. Gathering, but now it's like they were farming stuff. We could just stay here and build things and live in them. This this is the beginning of urban development and that's really the beginning, a fast food, as we know it today, they related to each other the same way that may be a t. Rex is related to a chicken there's a lot and between but like yours

mad, you're living in a city whether an ancient city or a city today, and if you're, like the majority of human Today you live in urban areas. you are running into the same problem as the ancient Romans as people in the ancient Middle EAST ancient China, which is you, have less personal space and that has become accelerated in huge metro areas like Tokyo, You probably aren't gonna have room to raise your own chickens or grew your own route, a vague as others, also less room to prepare food in your average domicile or a house and there's a lot at stake with that as tee a key because you know if you cooking in really small area in its up, ventilated, you and your behavior fried set oil, etc, etc. If something goes wrong, you could have a smell: the stinks up the whole apartment building like a macro

cosmic level of the old. What's the thing people complain about in office working situation, microwave seafood like that, but now it's everybody's house or you could actually burn that structure down and a course like you were saying that people live in cities. Far far before the industrial revolution, ancient Rome actually had these cramped multistory apartments, where the people, the people living in them did visit food stores constantly. It was like a day Lee thing because away where are you gonna do you're, not gonna, take it you're gonna get brothers beings. Yet you have room to make wine that have been years. Squat embezzling to Ben. I think me in a particular manner that you also like to cook, but we sometimes take for granted that some people, either d have the time or the internet

or the wherewithal to cook or learn to cook or they're, just play not good at it. So I definitely met people who are just mystified by cooking and is literally eat Oliver meals in pre, packaged form or out and then, if it out is your thing than oftentimes you can always be able to do is sit down meal. For me now, lunch breaks raising Also, you argument doing fastfood. Quite often, it's very much become part of this kind of, like you now rat racy kind of american lifestyle, but is all become a big part of at least recently does the pandemic, choosing, not necessarily fastfood but choosing to eat food for me, prepared, restaurant or or with Jane? Right? near. You is a way of supporting your own community cool way. I would say and everybody got into baking,

thereby making yet mean it is. It is a good, a very good point. You can make appointed. If you wanna be a little more philosophical about it, you can make point about mindfulness bright. and how we, how we approach the necessities of life, because you can talk about people cooking their own food, but we know that, with some exceptions, alot of a lot of folks, you probably know making their own clothes building their own houses. You know what I mean somewhere, where the line of the mindfulness versus the convenience versus the investment, the the idea of buying for a the idea by food for a purpose, also, philosophical right to support ones, community is is not new, but it definitely encountered a resurgence I hear in Atlanta for sure, but in many places throughout the

U s mad! I think Europe specifically talking about when a local restaurant that usually had people come in and eat would sell like here is a pre packaged family meal for four p, right, yeah, just exactly boy brilliance its from where the foods originating to where it ends up to that stew too. How we're supporting our local communities really interesting, how this thing food and how to get it quickly, to yourself in your family, just everything touches it or destroying. Here, look! community so yeah, it's a long story short a city These were around way before the industrial revolution be people lived in those cities which were all across the world, you know the continent of Africa, a continent of Asia, our western Europe parts, the Middle EAST people who lived in these dense.

agglomerations had access to pre made foods from stalls and vendors. These were not apartment buildings where everybody was like growing their own stuff in only eating that that is silly. So, basically street food, three food has been around for a long time, so fast food may be fast, but it is I knew the emergence though, call modern, fast food is tied the one with the industrial revolution and in the U S very much to world war, two. It is when we see a huge take off, and I propose that we take a moment for a word from our spots. And I will return with more on the history of fast food and its troubling future

This you can trace in a couple a different one,

first, there is the idea of what is called the self serve restaurant. The first of these since you were once upon a time, a small german boy, journalists out with that let's see start work Imagine the restaurants nailed it nailed it. So that's that the auto Matt, that's what they call the? U S right, that was in Berlin in eighteen, eighty, six, the very first on, and you guys can we briefly just Rob and ATO met. I litter have no idea. What this is me- you met is sort of like a retro future he's the kind of form of like you know, restaurant, where you have either a conveyor belt situation that speeding some kind grab and go type situation right or if these for windows, we put in a buck and then you know the window in you pull out the sandwich of a piece of pi the modern equipment,

us here would maybe be that Cora sushi franchise. Is that they have out in an area here too Lana called Buford Highway. Where literally a conveyor belt with different plates of sushi the come around and you grabbed the one you want, and then you are charged based on the plates that you feed into this little dispenser so he's a very prizes you gotta, get the prizes and there's a little animated character that does cool things. The more you get yeah. I had set interesting concept and it does feel like at the time they're like this is the wave of the future, but I'm sure those which is would sit in there for quite some I am probably one of the best refrigeration conditions, and I bet you they were kind Ross, unless you had lay people constantly refreshing moment hanging out behind the scenes. That's library, gas station sandwiches, time will among the road that's exactly yards yeah, yeah, so you do as Lincoln the beginning you put in your nickel or quarter,

every year, inflation rate, and then you will push the button. You need open the little glass what young guy he's my peace, a I am so lonely or whatever to place like that dark city as a great again, I just wonder: oh yeah yeah yeah yeah totally. It reminds We of the by me. Modern full equivalent is in the airport. They ve got a lot of these stations where there is just like your doing about a convenience store where there bunch of sandwiches these just grab when you pay for it there, but that's it. That's literally the transaction is you grab me pay for gas through? That's, that's that's one of the evolution of modern, fast food, but there's the other idea, the idea of a fast food outlet. The way we understand them today I'm in a hurry to go to work. My kid won't be quiet and they only eat one of three things

so I've gotta, zip in zip out of this place, it's not gonna, be like a restaurant. I don't have to sit down. I don't have to You know contemplate a menu. What will be the appetizer? What will be deserve? What were the specials could shoot tell me about a little more about these tomato comfy. No go upstairs counter. Probably gonna have like a numbered list of things. I can pick from right a combo. He always set this. This what we think. I'm going think modern, fast food, and you often hear people call White Castle, the first fast food outlet. It began in Wichita Kansas, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen as a bunch of like hamburger stalls. Hamburgers are still by the way the number one like most consumed fast food and then it was officially found as White Castle in nineteen twenty one selling burgers at this boy was not a big.

Deal. You know what I mean like a was it. They were like two, the first there were the first people to the job to do the moon landing equivalent here they didn't know where the first people serving hamburgers, but what they were was the first people standardizing, absolutely everything. First time in history, you go from one way castle to the next. They did their best to make him indistinguishable yeah. That's the thing about fast food in the whole franchise. The larger the scaling, rather is what you would refer to this as, like the larger. The company is the more important it is that their practices be identical and that their where's be predictable and that it be something that everyone knows, no matter which insert fast food chain ex here you go to in whatever part of the country or even the world low in the There are gonna, be small changes in terms of lay the types of menu item there might be some like regional things.

a in certain Vinos spots, but in general it's all about that. Predictability, in that ritual position of going to your fast food chain of choice and no exactly what you're going to get either the chain, I think, is the most important word there right, because really What the White Castle did, what all these fast food com please do. Is they bill a supply chain where getting everything from in its cause? Us not Just the meat is not standardized meet her. You know whatever. That is the goes inside as the buns. It's the equipment that used to make those things right to cut the french rise or to get. The french fries already cut in a factory somewhere it's It's how all of that stuff moves into each individual outlet that become standard. Yeah yeah, it's the paper products right, it's it's! The Euro forms its. The predictability

all of the hours, and that's strange because there's a lot of opposition of this. You know the person that counter could be any per is. Is every person is very different from the did the prevent prevailing idea of local restaurants of the time where there would be like. I always know that Thelma or janitor, Ernie or Oscar is going to be counter and they always know how I by the coffee ends patenting coffee and hamburger, whatever copied a burger. At the same time, for me this the diner experience, and maybe I just have a soft spot, my heart forever, like somebody, you know that knows what you like in the still pretty fast turn around for food of budgets, it's way more? I the being anonymize like that. You know:

Hungary, human being, but who is who knows, stuff you just as accompany know. What I like and all I have to do is say in number and then say, make it a large tat alike restaurant, where the they treat me like a meme. You know where I like the door dealings in you hear somebody softly say: oh Lord is coming and then there are like to throw in the french rise through and shake a wings. hollowed mountain king. This is a very your died or describing by anyway you're right, you're right. This is what happened they made the first fast food supply chain want to explore that in this worry future episode. This was objectively impressive done this surly could for the world, but objectively impressive. It's kind of lake when Henry Ford, choked out his anti Semitism just long enough to really figure out the assembly line took it,

afternoon off. ed and focused on something else for like just a second and now we are, assembly line, and the fast food operation was very, very much like this, a white castle and leaving a specialised wing of the company dedicated just to building way castles so that they can make sure every building looked kind. of these same, and today there is a guy you may have heard of re Crock K. R, o c is a lot of attention for doing the same thing with Mcdonald's through something they called the speedy service system, s p he d YE crucial, crucial branding there right crucial, ready in that yeah. I wouldn't call it a rip off, but it's definitely heavily inspired by and built upon what White Castle

have you been doing back the twenties and thirties? That's standardization! That is the whole mark. modern, fast food, but that's that's fastfood. History nothing necessarily conspiratorial about that stage. This is just a pattern of peace wanting faster solutions to the problem of. I don't have enough time, so that problem is still with people. Twenty twenty one. What does it mean? What does it mean now is fast? Food is fast food, a fad you guys yet on LISA. become like ingrained in our very culture like we're talking about earlier earlier by in many ways by necessity, I mean you know the area on a unilateral that I live in is what you would call a food desert where there are very few fresh produce. You know, stores me there's seen others a public and there's Kroger, but there are bigger,

and when a drive away, and if you dont have a vehicle in Europe just on foot the amount area where I live. It's largely populated with gas stations and fast food joints, so yeah exact, They saw a really is kind of lino, Potentially nefarious we know and opportunistic, because some areas that have less development and may be conceived as being a little more dangerous seen by the powers that be you're not going to see it development of those types of restaurants, but fast food. joints they look at that is opportunity. Fast. Food is a leviathan because it directly addresses one of these funds

the needs of existence for human beings and it is profitable despite a global pandemic. Actually fast, food did pretty well during the pandemic. Global fast food revenue right now is greater than five hundred and seventy billion dollars for comparison We talk to our advertising in past episode that global revenue ran into about three hundred somethin look around round about three: three greed fifty years through sixties billion dollars faster dwarfs that and the U S food industry alone: their revenue is about a hundred and ten billion dollars a year, and we have people who work in the fast food reserves in Associated service industries. Listen, you show today

Rightly thinking a hundred and ten billion dollars a year? wait, wait Where is all that money going right, because it is certainly not going to me and my co workers? that is another problem with fast food. Here's a statistic that I think I read the book this that states this statistic edit. I originally didn't believe it but it does check out if you live in the United States. Ninety percent of children in your country between the age of three and nine go to Mcdonald's at least once a month yes just to get the new toy, the hat we'll man I love, is to let you by those if you're in adult. But you know you get some quicks the movies to pretend you have a kid at home.

Baby, you're right, they were the reason why, remembering that up is because it sounds pretty crazy. That's that's all! Mcdonald's eating, at least once a month right, for ninety percent of children, because there are a lot of kids and I wonder if it We will be allowed to get into some of this stuff, and I once I right now: let's keep can do not going down this line, so that book is fast food nation, the dark side of the all american meal. By an author named Eric Schlosser High. Recommended you should be able it's been used as a textbook in colleges which why am I bring that up? That means that there gonna, be a lot of very inexpensive copies of that book because a lot of people to get rid of it when they were done with school and so will pause from

but for a word from our sponsors to give you time to read the book in its entirety. The corona virus vaccines reproduce in record time, but they're not slapdash overnight inventions, their combination of centuries of research and advances to figure out how they began. You have to probe history, myths and legends. A thousand years ago, the son of a local governor got very sick from smallpox. This sickness, as caused by inoculation, is not unto death. My name's genre Vive, I'm a journalist and am hosting a podcast caught longshot. The two hundred and fifty year journey to the covert nineteen vaccines will learn about the incentives, experiments and accidents that drove vaccine development

and we'll meet some of the great minds behind the global effort to get us out of this pandemic. Yet I think it might be defining point of my career. I think Louis be remembered for this, but we are driving our wish. I wasn't. I wish you'd never listened to long shot on the eye heart radioactive apple. Pod cast a reverie you get.

You places in the? U S that are not in reach a fast food, very few places where humans habitually live. They don't have some kind of fast food, fastfood outlet near them. As a matter of fact, as of twenty nineteen, all of the top ten, fast food brands in the World cup? from the good old. U S of a we're, not just talking Mcdonald's, we're talking, Starbucks, we're talking this Ways of way by the way, has the law the highest amount of physical locations for your reply, the only more than oiled year, makes cause. I seem to find their way into places like Walmart, San other, larger stores, there's much wiser, subway here, if I myself at all the time, the Pentagon that it had once, but they closed the data. I wonder how that deal works you right. There always are subways Walmart stores. no, no other such really really interesting yeah.

I didn't realize bed you. You found this amazing stat about the three largest companies, one of which is a chinese holding company that deal in fast food Mcdonnel Starbucks any young China holdings which hold the market caps in the business They Donalds being number one with one hundred and forty four point: six billion Starbucks be number do with any eight point: three billion and young China holdings with nineteen point, seven billion and thou and is really fasting because I looked it up and they You know they have a lot of Blake Traditional Kind of more light chinese hot pot tightly. is that we need only find in Asia, but the obvious a corner the market and bought the franchise rights to Pizza Hut Anti go back and if you You gave me don't care ass, an excuse me, which was a huge in Asia. As we know, right Ben within an episode under articles history, about the myths,

a sensation got that out of Colonel Sanders in in Japan in particular, and like the eyes of the whole thing here. Is Erasmus meal Christmas meal, that's what it was bent. Thank you. But I love. This If you go to young China holder, it's it's a. I are dot young China, dot com and look at their brands. pizza. I love the story behind pizza. It says Pizza Lee casual, dining restaurant brain in China, as measured by system sail it started from humble beginnings, for sixty years ago, when the Carney brothers borrowed six hundred dollars from their mom and set out to do. The way the world experiences pizza, that pizza came to China in Beijing and ninety ninety another. Over twenty four hundred pizza. I restaurant in over five hundred cities, but it literally was the thing that introduced a fast. Casual american kind of It said diving to Asia, I mean decide

I know we are going to we're going to see some disturbing and true things about. Fast food in general. In this this through part series, but thanks for book it pizza things thanks for giving me the free pizzas. The books duty was worth it. You know cheese, spears e aside book, it made it worth it, and then, let's see what else? Yes, cheese, spears, EE, oh, I guess wages is Thank you, young brands, because there there one of those companies that owns a bunch of thing, like fingers on a hand that seem to compete with each other, so you realize they won't go back gush, but that it is true and speaking that, by the way, a market cap, if anyone

confused is the total dollar value of a company's stock shares? That's how big Mcdonald's is. That's a big Starbucks and young China are their leviathans. Their behemoths number four by the way like any other sort of corporate list. number one is all is outsize number three gets is a distant third number, for here is smaller, comparatively, but soon the billions. This I thought was interesting. It's a company and outfit called dart in restaurants and they're. Just like the way. No, you described yeah They own a ton of stuff. You might have thought of as separate companies, you're driving down the street three main street and any town USA, and you see the olive garden will see the law courts, you may see the yard house, you might think

owned by different people. They're, not it's all. It's all the same company at the top, its old garden and garden used report or something even bigger he's be part of general mills. Yeah. I know this goes all the way to the top of the cereal box. the second is Applebee's, a subsidiary of some other company to know come Guys. I had one good comedy idea years are usually owners again, like parliamentary school. We were doing like a talent show it. I didn't it was just an idea with nothing to back it up really, but it was general mills. Ninety thousand two hundred and ten, where I was going to be just different cereals like get in a high school kind of like romance type situation, any further development from that. But I will always remember that I, General male Snyder do, let's make it less

you know the way get around that and keep it as a Scotchman, as we just film it as a trailer for the new sees it as logs is not Caesar one give real is like Caesar for. Ah, yes, ok, we're sorry fella conspiracy. Real is please let us do that when consumers knolls idea so don't taken from patent, don't take it from us. The way Mcdonald's took why castles idea which they totally did well, but is one of those things raised there really an idea that one can own right. It sort of like Can you really own the wind? Will you know I mean? Can you standardization of food service, its survival, First, I want to do it, but it's hard to trade mark or copyright. A process like that who you're an interesting as an interesting argument. goes against preserving your awesome, sketch idea at the fire

That's that's peer intellectual property and ivory on that with the library abandoned is already so our it has off. Let's see if we get patent sketch Galbraith so today, the! U s also, in addition to having the world's most successful, fast food brands, it has the world's largest fast food industry. You can find american fast food restaurants in well over a hundred countries, any touches on geopolitics really weird way. Have you guys ever the idea that raise called the golden archers Doc, have you ever heard the idea that if two countries both have made or else they will not go to war. Interesting lake, like some sort of secret pact or just I like the fact that it represents something culturally well, it's me as the idea that represents some cultural record

Common ground allergy, yeah yeah, I gotta get vacillating yeah the aid, here is that this was first for whose, by economists who is imperfect named Thomas Friedman, was called the golden arches theory of conflict invention and his argument said people who live in Mcdonald's countries, as you call them don't like to fight wars. They like to weaken life or burgers and is Israel argument- was that if you were a country without a middle class large enough to sustain something like that, they reach the level of asperity that makes war risky and unpalatable. Now, however, Only bringing this up to completely to debunk it because looking the Kosovo war, those countries involved there had Mcdonald's, but if you

to learn more about this idea that has been debunked to check out his book. The Lexus and the olive tree Anyway. It's really to say I I it probably has more to do with Callaway. You said there again, I'm not an economist, discuss, probably very much right for me, It would be more about the supply chain. The we ve been describing here we're in to Mcdonald's. You probably have a pretty good trade agreement with another country. maybe it's you know, but again wouldn't that would only be if we're talking about war with the United States and or you know, whatever a country like let's Mcdonald's, China, maybe yeah. So you know it. Just patrols of my own argument. Let's forget the! I think you, it's think the best way to say it is hinges on one's definition of war. Right. The mindset of war is changing as well, so our war never changes to it didn't until

Most reason upgrade. You have to install the update, did you put in? Did you install your war update now? I didn't There are three boy: no now about dang keep up the key, capable war updates jeez. So the reason I bring this up is: is countries set up for part two. our series here, when we Tavis Freeman, is not correct in his assertion that countries can be prevented from open warfare just because they like the same fast food. But it is true that fast food has a much larger, much more profound and perhaps much more in city effect on economies. Then people might believe on economies and on culture and ultimately on human beings. In some situations, fast food actually seems economically bullet proof. We mentioned at the top of

he's episode. The corona virus, the covert nineteen pandemic mill millions and millions of businesses. Little mom and pop places had to close, they were forced out. They had to shudder their doors, even even in countries that provided economic assistance? Not like the? U s not by countries that pretended to provide economic assistance to mom and pop places by countries that action, We did. That still was enough for a lot of people, and the opposite was true for fast food places. Just like I said earlier. The idea buying something pre packaged was in terms of fast through it was seen as healthier, more sanitary. You minimize your interaction with people by going to drive through

but also like I mean in a fast food workers, are handling things and there is potential for you now sneezes in such said to me: There were still some consternation around that at first, I think, but then people kind warmed up. The idea realized things warrant to be transmitted as much over surfaces. Additives it's a weird won the day. They were able to dodge that. I would have personally thought, given There may be some of these restaurants. Maybe do take some short cut. here and there the people may be would have been a little more cautious, but apparently that wasn't the case. I was. It goes back to standardizing things right, so I'm imagining- and I saw this- were in real time that Standardizing of safety procedures occurred across say: Mcdonald's, my family to Mcdonald's. While we were, you know, locked down pretty heavily and it felt we safe just wait. I mean, and when you are

observing it right. I no idea what exactly is having happening back in the kitchen there, but you know The sign is glory. What I'm seeing the employees wearing what they're doing it fell very safe and then you imagine that that's being spread out across the floor, rises as much as possible very quickly. very quickly and very methodically, no you're right and they would have been the first types of companies to Institute MA. mandates for all of their employees instantly because they needed to not lose that confidence in the public. They needed people to feel comfortable or else they could have lost their bottom line very quickly. That is a fantastic point that there is a profound point, because the infrastructure, the communications, the logistics were already there these outfits already probably had a clear

you know, supply chain opportunity for things like mask. I so here's another problem with this, though the folks who work in these in these for these companies in these situations throughout the pandemic. They were called essential workers are there. They were called. He rose because calling them he rose was of a lot easier than treating them like human beings or helping them survive? You know what I mean you can make the make. No mistake the same people who are poor, seen stuff on social media, at least in several instances the same people repose suffer social media, say here the real he rose, we're probably treating those folks like they were not human. When it

came to the drive through. Why did I have to wait so long? For my number three, you know what I mean. I ordered the small chicken nuggets. It's basically you and Hitler you monstrous cashier at the drive through. That's that's where we are like, as young people are very, very self centered. So what were saying the reason this pandemic example is so important is because we see a situation which the workers were struggling. The customers were struggling and a fast food outfit, the company itself, the capital, see company continued doing well, it thrived so to lake. That's that's an interesting

Jason is nip because, usually for business, to have to do well, the customers would have to be doing. Ok, the employees would probably be- I don't know. Maybe the employs have to do well for a company to do well. Actually they don't that's true. I talk myself out of my own point you do not do it, but in short, fast food has been around a long. Tie it is only grown. It continues to do. So is a very quick, very quick. Here's where it gets crazy for today's episode and its is you needed to know the history of how we got here today to know exactly what is going crazy, how it's going crazy? Why is going crazy now and in the future, so tune for part? Two of this series where we're going to talk a little bit
