The reality is this. Inflation is killing business models. Our government has devalued the value of the dollar so badly, regular things we used to take for granted are becoming a thing of the past. Fast food is becoming more and more unprofitable. Restaurants too (the building costs, insurance, security on and on and on). Unless your kitchen is killing it with takeout and delivery, you're starving. I think about my grandparents era and what things they had in their economy which are a thing of the past. We could see things like vehicle transportation become unaffordable for a large segment of society. Less fast foods and restaurants. No more malls. Big box stores moving to completely online. Commercial buildings in NYC are short selling because their value has gone down because nobody is working in them anymore. Our economy has tremendous cracks and problems.

She picked it up off of the floor and just continued to wipe the counters where they were preparing sanwiches (without washing it or getting a new clean rag).

Big, or should I say "Yuge" changes are coming, but it's not going to end the way you would like (if you live in the United States, that is). Step 3 of the "Four Steps for Ideological Subversion" (Yuri Bezmenov, 1985) Crisis-This is a major step lasting up to six weeks *and involves a revolutionary change of power.* This is where a cataclysmic event (false flag event, civil war, invasion) upsets and divides the country thereby creating panic among the citizens. To Americans, symptoms would include circumventing the Constitution (re: Use "privately owned" social media sites to restrict free speech/First Amendment rights) and altering the checks and balances of government, and possible martial law. *Creation of economic, financial and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and a breakdown of previously self-evident restrictions on moral behavior.* - *The Cloward-Piven approach is used to create more takers than producers* … The Cloward-Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. *The strategy aims to utilize "militant anti poverty groups" to facilitate a "political crisis" by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims, forcing the creation of a system of guaranteed minimum income and "redistributing income through the federal government".* The authors pinned their hopes on creating disruption within the Democratic Party: "Conservative Republicans are always ready to declaim the evils of public welfare, and they would probably be the first to raise a hue and cry. But deeper and politically more telling conflicts would take place within the Democratic coalition...Whites - both working class ethnic groups and many in the middle class - would be aroused against the ghetto poor, while liberal groups, which until recently have been comforted by the notion that the poor are few... would probably support the movement. Group conflict, spelling political crisis for the local party apparatus, would thus become acute as welfare rolls mounted and the strains on local budgets became more severe.” …. *The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver things to meet people's needs through “hope and change” through social and economic justice. False illusion that the situation is under control if strategic directions are followed-Bailouts, regulations of industry and so forth.* (ie: Hitler’s rise to power amidst a disenfranchised German population reeling from the economic effects of WW1. He also rallied the Germans to fight against the threat of Communism.) Hegelian Dialectic: Problem, Reaction, Solution Use Liberals to create social, political and economic problems. --Question: Do these corporations promote Conservative views? Or are they promoting "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Homosexual PRIDE, Social Justice Activism, BLM (A Marxist organization, BTW)" and other "progressive liberal" (read: Cultural Marxist) ideologies? If you are honest, you know the answer already. Have the population react to the problems as intended whereby they seek a leader, laws and regulations which promise to fix our problems. Offer the pre-planned solution: Revolution and a "draining of the swamp". *The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need* and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing *the damage the Left has wrought (PROBLEM)* and build a better country for all Americans in 2025. It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. *If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place (REACTION),* ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration. This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook. The project is the effort of a broad coalition of conservative organizations that have come together to ensure a successful administration begins in January 2025. *With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government (SOLUTION).*

(Note: Unlike in the Old and New Testament teaching “By the mouth of two or more witnesses..”, these Laws only require one accuser for the accused to be brought to the courts and condemned.) Idolatry: Must worship God alone. Must not worship any man (ie: Jesus) as God. No idols or statues. Do not bow to idols or statues. Do not offer sacrifices to idols or statues. Blasphemy: Do not curse God. Do not use God's name in vain. Worship the true God alone, do not worship false gods. (Worshiping Jesus is also seen as blasphemy.) Murder: Against murdering anyone, self defense is permitted. Mass murderers will be given the death penalty. (Abortion is classified as mass murder.) *Theft--Do not:* Steal. Rob. *Overcharge* -Have you noticed how many of today’s large corporations seem to be pushing the “progressive” message about “fairness, PRIDE, tolerance, inclusion, diversity, equity” while also overcharging for their products? And how many of these corporations are known to overwork and underpay their workers, reaping huge profits for themselves as they commit wage theft? Kidnap. Move a landmark.

If I had $9 billion, the last thing I’d be wanting to buy would be Subway. That place sucks, and has sucked for at least the last 10 years. Their time and has come and gone.

You miss the point..corporate losses mean tax gains…it’s a money washing descision..?

[@maxwebster7572]

The ones local to me all have brown lettuce. Doesn't matter which day. Something to do with 1 delivery a week.

[@mark351]

Always better to get a sandwich at a local place. Much better quality.

[@chrisstiff2914]

They won't let you have $9 billion unless you're a part of the system that's destroying the world.

[@larueskee]

Reducing costs as much as possible? No way the price of cold cuts as gone up 75% since the pandemic. Sales are dead because they have almost zero people wanting to but an awful product at a price where you can buy a causal dining hot sandwich with fries and a drink. $ 14.00 for a turkey bacon foot long? Come on fool, it isn't that Subway is fighting costs but fighting to find customers willing to pay that much.

[@fredp8388]

I know people personally who eaten lunch at subway for 10+ years who have given up going there because they so damn high and not worth it.

[@blackworldtraveler3711]

Many probably given up because of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

… and we thought it was silly and insignificant that Stallone’s film “Demolition Man” mentioned that Taco Bell was the only fast food chain to survive the franchise wars.

[@coachkropp1]

we might actually see that now 😂

@@coachkropp1So true!!!

My local Subway recently changed hands. I got a sub there about 6 months ago, it was clearly going to really pathetic. I told the owner that I would probably come back sometime in the future to see if things are better, and that if it was not, I would never come again. He was said "you got x pieces of meat and cheese, what's the problem?" I told him he cut the stuff much thinner and the sub was patheritc.

Local Subway here now has a screen over the plexiglass door that covers the meats and veggies - so customers can't see if ingredients are fresh or not. You see these pictures of nice, loaded sandwiches on their menus - but what you get is almost "stepped-on" looking... If you're going to charge $12+ for a sandwich, load it up.

[@gregorysagegreene]

Yer, like why won't they let you see what they are doing anymore ? 🤷‍♂️

[@randyfernandez5361]

I asked when I was at subway and they said it’s to keep everything cold and fresh lol

[@RedEyeC]

@@randyfernandez5361 of course they'll say that 😂

[@melissasmess2773]

My subway has clear glass fold down covers. It’s for freshness and health.

[@RedEyeC]

@@melissasmess2773 - yes, ours has this - they just insert a black-out cover over the fold-down glass cover so people on the ordering side can't see the condition of the ingredients.
