Days Of (Inflationary) Rage Are Here: Man Goes On Shooting Rampage After Learning Taco Bell Hikes Prices On Beefy Crunch Burrito By 50%
Days of inflatiory rage come to the US:
Police say a San Antonio Taco Bell customer enraged that the seven burritos he ordered had gone up in price fired an air gun at an employee and later fired an assault rifle at officers before barricading himself into a hotel room.
San Antonio police Sgt. Chris Benavides says officers used tear gas Sunday night to force the man from the hotel room after a three-hour standoff. The man is charged with three counts of attempted capital murder. Authorities have not released his name.
Brian Tillerson, a manager at the Taco Bell/KFC restaurant, told the San Antonio Express-News that the man was angry the Beefy Crunch Burrito had gone from 99 cents to $1.49 each.
Police say the man fired on officers during a traffic stop after the restaurant incident.
This is the first example of a domestic shooting incident following the surge in food prices courtesy of just QE Lite and QE 2. Just like in Tunisia, following the self-immolation of a fruit vendor, it will not be the last. And when we finally get QE3, then all bets will be off.

I called this a month ago in one of my posts. When the 99 cent taco disappears, people will finally realize they are screwed and the unrest begins.
The history books will all have a chapter titled:
May I suggest: 'The End Of The Dollar Empire' ?
Yea but come'on.
Flow chart.
Congress in sight?
yes -->green light
no -->wait till yes
action; eat crunch foods.
People pushed to the margins, with no escape route, lose control. For this man, the final straw came after ordering seven burritos – only to find that the Taco Bell chain had passed on Fed inflation and raised the price for its Beefy Crunch Burrito from 99 cents to $1.49 – a 50% increase in his bill from $6.93 to $13.86.
Now he’s charged with “three counts of attempted capital murder.” And it’s too late, forever, to go back to “if only I’d never gone into the place.”
As El Erian says as he contemplates his balance sheet and his navel, there are “collateral damage and unintended consequences” to Bernanke’s QE meth production of trillions in toxic paper. Or as Bernanke calls it, “costs and risk.” Costs and risk for whom?
A sad story.
Please tell you don't actually feel sorry for a moron who attempted to murder fast food workers over his shitty burritos....
THERE IS NO FUCKING EXCUSE FOR THIS.
I don't give a fuck if the food was $900....
Fuck this moron....I hope he spends the rest of his miserable life taking burritos up the ass from Bubba.
Junked because I don't empathize with a moron who shoots at people over tacobell burritos.....why not??
LOLOLOLOL
listen, shitty lipz: this is fight club. it's not how ya say it, it's what tf you say. first of all, this guy is obviously a postal worker. so, it's NOT about the money, ok? it's about the fact that the guy tried to figure out the difference in the accounting for the guys and gals in the Main, couldn't do it, and went pre-emptively postal. knowing what would happen with and among his co-workers when he returned, and the chaos and confusion of getting thru this order, he just decided to draw the fuking line right there and play his hand for all the crunchy beef left in his math-challenged life.
taco bell is not an unhealthy place to eat. i used to live with a woman who was a vegetarian and she liked the simple veggie bean burritos. when she couldn't face the kitchen, she would vounteer to drive to The Border, and buy, too! Drive-thru. took longer. her son and i would wait, knowing that when the order finally got handed thru the window, she would not check it, before pulling out. this happened a 1/2-dozen times, easily.
she would pay for the bag full of dinner and drive all the way home. about 5 miles. then, we would put the bag on the table, and she would hand her son and me our fabulous concoctions. then she would scream: "OH no! Not again!" her son and i would be laughing so hard the food would come out of our snozzez! Two 79-cent burritos, and they could never get the bean thing right.
about ten days later, they would hand her the bag, and she would just pull out, without checking, again. her son and i would just lose it!
if we lived closer to taco bell, those fukers woulda all been dead, several times over.
Those fucking minimum wage Taco Bell shysters....those fuckers definitely had it coming.
Get ready for more incidents like these as the entitlement mentality lower socioeconomic animals start to lose control.
Somedays it is hard to resist the POV and concept of "useless eaters"
shittylips called it
fuck this moron for endangering peoples sons and daughters
and giving the brain dead liberals more ammo
Someday you will realize... there are no tacos.
Defending stupid is stupid.
Now he gets 3 meals a day for free , a room to sleep in .
Or he was coked to the gills.....need more details before shedding a tear.
A 50% increase from $6.93 is $13.86?
Fuck! Even this new math is awesome!
yeah, it's inflated...
I just mailed a dozen beefy crunch burritos to William Dudley and asked him for a dozen iPad 2s in exchange.
Lulz - this post has them
About time someone had the balls to stand up for something around this crooked country. I say we all donate to his legal fund. If only there were more like him.
If only there were more people like him who are prepared to kill 3 innocent people for a $3.50 increase in his bill? The three people he shot at didn't set the new burrito price. Come on, seriously you hope there are more like him?
Yep, exactly.
If you can't fuck up the one you want( which this moron has no clue), you fuck up the one your with.
Big story released from the propaganda ministers to distract us all from smaller problems around the globe. And another reason to get our guns away form us.
Reaching the parabolic top of bullshit.
DROP THE CHALUPA
bitchez
Unfortunately, he didn't make a run for the border.
++++++++
I'm seeing it now, instead of just reality TV programing, reality advertising. We follow the guy through trial, conviction, prison time, retrospective interviews, and all through the whole thing he keeps reminding us just how much he loves the product. At the end of each reality commercial, he looks at the camera and and says "I should have made a run for the border."
Bigger and more dramatic crimes will be committed in the hopes that folks will be offered their own "reality advertising series."
It's apparent that Bernanke doesn't eat at Taco Bell.
Bernanke doesn't need to eat there, he's already full of shit.
It would be about the NG.
I would expect we will see at lot more of this since our school systems do not teach about inflation and deflation. I can not tell you how many times lately I have given the inflation/deflation speech to our employees. They all are bitching about increasing prices and want more money. Pretty soon, we will see more crap like this, until people rise up and educate themselves and demand sound money.
I am already teaching this to my homeschooled 7 yr old. When the price of a local pizza increased he understood why. He also has a silver coin and loves to watch its value climb. He maybe inheriting a financial disaster but I plan to teach him how to succeed in spite of that.
This would have been a zero sum non-event if the cost of bullets also went up 50%, but when inflation hits the burrito but not bullets, I say that bodes well for the revolution.
Judging by your post, I'm guessing you don't buy a lot of ammo.
Rounds for your firearm have gone up triple digit percentages since 2008. You're behind the power curve.
Then obviously the guy's kook, he should be throwing burritos at the police while nibbling his bullets.
My thoughts exactly.
I've already offered fully cooked burgers for any spare anti tank rounds or thermo nuclear devices that any other nutters might contemplate throwing at each other.
He should have run for the border.
But the cost of Ipads is dropping....lol no inflation right Dudley
Actually, Dudley should record a training video for Taco Bell employees, explaining the wonders of hedonics. They can then inform said angry gun-toting customer that the price hasn't actually gone up at all, when you take into account the benefit inflation provides to the economy and the mandate for full employment.
The only result of that speech would be a classroom full of blank stares.
Since substitution of a 4 oz tin of dog food for one Beefy Crunchy Burrito makes so much sense, I can only conclude there is no inflation.
This old fool has a Sunday morning ritual that consists of gassing up, then a large coffee and a big old fresh pretzel. Putting aside the gasoline, the coffee has increased twice in 7 weeks and the pretzel thrice. What was previously a $2.29 cost is now $3.19. That's a 39% increase in 7 weeks.
Thank God I stopped concealed carrying when I filled up on Sunday morning. :>)
</sarcasm in case it wasn't obvious>
Brother CD,
If 50 cents on a crunchy burrito resulted in gunfire, just what the hell is going to happen over at Chipotle...the home of the $9-$11 burrito [including the cost of the Novartis products required to clear one's system afterwards]?
Man...I was feeling really bullish today...but this one has me concerned that maybe Merger Monday isn't as important as Burrito Blaster?
Lot of cross currents, Cog. Good thing Pfizer has me solidly in the "Don't Give a Shit" column for the closing bell.
Cdad and Cog Dis;
+ real money
Brother Truth,
Unfortunately today for Cdad...
- real money
:/
[but we'll "give a shit tomorrow" and go after 'em again]
:>)
Brother Cdad,
If you use the Novartis products as described, you won't be able to keep your shit. In fact, you'll be begging for the nearest facilities to give your shit away. I suggest you stick close to home if I were you. At least until the first wave of giving a shit passes. :>)
Brother Cog,
Your wisdom is undeniable...part of why I read ZH so closely every day. Indeed, I shall be careful that not giving a shit does not lead to giving a really big shit. As for the first wave of giving a shit, that happened 20 minutes after the market opened, with shit triple gaping up into my shit.
I am now combining Novartis products with martinis...to see if this has a hardening effect on this chemically induced apathy. In either case, I am close to gool, if you know what I mean...and if you don't know what I mean...I don't even think I am capable of giving a shit just now.
Sorry.
your brother
Dearest soon-to-have-the-nasty-runs Cdad,
Regarding your inability to give a shit right now my mother, when particularly exasperated or angry with us kids or just sick and tired of hearing us whining about this or that, would declare in her loudest voice that "I could give two shits what you want, we are........"
This declaration would always make us sit up and take notice because we knew how valuable mom's shit was to her. She was constantly telling us not to mess with her shit, which always indicated to me at least how very valuable it was. For her to offer two shits was a special event and 50 years later I still remember every occasion where she made this offer....though I suspect the beatings that came with her declarations helped cement these rare occasions in my memory.
I raise my martini glass to you Cdad and I hope that you reach the ultimate level of giving two shits.....which seemed to keep my mom's lower intestinal track clear her entire adult life. She always told us the secret to happiness was a good bowel movement and I assure you that I can attest to that fact.
Here's to Novartis.
Clink! :>)
Brother Cog,
Indeed, to Novartis...the company that makes Chipotle's business model viable!
You know, my mother used to say the same thing, "Two shits." My father actually used to yell, "I'm going to come down there in about two seconds, and then things are really gonna to turn to shit!" When we heard those words, we would commence silent running.
Thank you for your well wishes on my giving two shits. I hope you are right. Since this morning's triple gap....nothing....but my faith is restored by your kind wisdom.
I am going to have to start rationing
my reading this thread..
One can only handle so much of this sh....
lol
At least, CD, you don’t portray yourself (“this old fool”) as P.G. Wodehouse describes himself :
“…I write the sort of books which people assume to be the work of a cheerful, if backward, young fellow of about 25. ‘Well,’ they tell one another (when I am scheduled for a personal or TV appearance), ‘we might do worse than hear what this youngster has to say. Get the rising generation point of view, and all that.’ And what happens? ‘We have with us tonight Mr. P.G. Wodehouse’… and on totters a spavined septuagenarian, his bald head coated with pancake flour to keep it from shining and his palsied limbs twitching feebly like a galvanized frog.”
Or this, about his reputation:
“Let’s face it, I am a pretty insignificant sort of blister, not at all the type that leaves footprints on the sands of time, as the fellow said. Ask the first ten men you meet ‘Have you ever heard of P.G. Wodehouse?’ and nine of them will answer No. The tenth, being hard of hearing, will say, ‘Down the passage, first door on the right.’”
;-))
P.G. Wodehouse sounds like a wordsmith of the highest order. Time to put him on my reading list and see if I can learn something while listening at his knee.
You'll not regret your foray into the Wodehouse. He's a jewel.
And a lesson for us all here comes from him:
"Mere abuse is no criticism."
obviously this shooter is no economist. if he were he'd know that food prices are allowed to be ignored and they don't affect the economy at all.
+0 incremental core inflation, and the same goes for fuel. Go ahead and idle at the drive through.
He should have bought a house instead. Or an Ipad Dos.
Does Taco Bell accept EBT cards yet? I be chillin', waitin' fo da refillin'.
WTF is he doing squandering inflationary fiat in a shithole like Taco Bell?
...and in Texas of all places.
Bet its an illegal Mexican.
Bet he is at least 3 bills too. Seven burritos?
He should have gone to Walmart and bought a head of lettuce.
Quantative trigger squeezing.
Absolutely nothing to do with BB and his toys. QE has been good for inflation expectations and thus stock prices - what has happened in the commodity complex is completely unrelated. Fed have only created positive influences on the economy , the bad stuff - thats down to weather.
Taco Bell man probably has no idea why his food is 50 percent more expensive. Wonder what happens when the critical masses penny drops.
Nobody appreciates the wealth effect, seriously...
Just one step away from (Idiocracy)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NstQnUkU0dw
The fact that this guy orders 7 burritos from taco bell on a day-to-day basis is enough for me to question the integrity of his mental establishment.
dup.
$7 for food, $3 for 2 40s, $30/night for the flop house.
Pretty tight budget if you ask me.
More if you want them to leave the light on for ya.
And you do, cuz it keeps the roaches hidden...
There is no doubt food like this will destroy your brain, your mood etc.
Yeah..Americans are well prepared mentally for $5.00 gas. Looks like the American Idolites are going to need some more free cash and iPad2 rebate checks to stem off this armada of pissed and poor.
Te Quiero shorts?
Was Charlie Sheen with this guy? Love that "dollar menu empire quote"
This sounds legitimately like a comedy movie.
Perhaps some other NEW YORKERS can contribute here:
- My wife and I order take-out about once/twice every two weeks. In the past 2-3 months, we have noticed the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly, and the portion sizes have shrunk to the tune of about 1/3 I would guess
- This has been the case at a few restaurants, not just one
- This is not "junk" food, generally from a respectable local Thai or Japanese restaurant
Any similar experiences? I explained to my wife "why" this is happening, and she is now referring to The Printer as "that f*ckin Banana Ben!". It is catching on....
I went to eat at the Smith on 3rd and Dos Caminos on Houston last week for the first time in about 8 months and noticed the portions were easily cut in half from the previous visit.
First they shrink the food int he packages, then they shrink the packages and then they pass the cost off.
True, I guess, nobody would have been harmed if he got his 7 buritos that were just a little smaller than usual.
What is the lesson we learn? Hide inflation!
Exactly. What was Taco Bell thinking just make the Burritos smaller, the cups smaller and put less filling in tacos. I will admit one of my only fast food vices is that I eat Taco Bell pretty often but they have a nice fresco low cal option on the menu and I did take note 2 months ago at the drive thru "The employees have been given directions only hand out 2 sauce packets from now on"
Moral of the story..Hide it bitches
All the Wendy's in western NY have eliminated tomato(e)s on every sandwich, and will only give you one if you specifically request it be put on your sandwich when you order.
Tomato(e)s are one thing, but when the "meat" must be specifically requested to be included, that's time to panic!
Nice gem. Im sure this is more prevalent than we realize. Cost cutting will be rampant now that the jobs have been slimmed.
why don't you fucking diet and exercise you disgusting pig oh wait you cant because your a worthless? manchild . i love how dejected you sound oh poor baby can't eat his baconataers anymore boo fucking hoo fat fuck
Obviously you didn't read the post but I go to the gym for 2 hours at a time 5 days a week religiously but thanks for caring.
I heard that Glenn Beck got chopped up in NYC and is being served in a restaurant near you as kosher chopped suey.
Big portions as you would expect, but warning; very fatty.
actually, JJ, this tragedy is due to inflationary gas prices. when the price of Regular Unleaded goes catapulting upwards of $4, people just don't drive as much.
less miles, less roadkill.
less roadkill, burrito prices tend to go parabolic.
Bigger shock when you only go somewhere sporadically. Was back home visiting family and went to a family favorite Italian place. Ordered a dinner portion of spaghetti squash. Normally could never finish it, this time ate it and was still hungry. Noticed plate was shallower and was still not even full. Oh and price was up about 25% to. Place was also abandoned, which was not the norm from a few years back. Margin compression is a mother.
can't say i noticed that. maybe b/c i only eat chinese takeout and sushi...
Does it taste real fatty?
My similar experience has been that a "decent" NYC pizza is about $20 now. That's a large pie that has a vaguely appropriate level of sauce/cheese and 2 toppings. You can get 'em lots cheaper, but they're very likely to suck if you do.
At a particular favorite haunt of mine, a midtown pub w/good food (which I sadly can only visit about every other month these days), the already pricey but large and very well-done Cobb/Chef salads have both shrunk about 20%.
Wait for the fury bloggers and tumblers when a tall mocha latte costs $8.
Why do you expect the price to decline?
Bwaaah!
Yeah, they'll be slappin' their Birkenstocks on the counter in protest.
As "Jason" astutely put it, FALLING FUCKING DOWN !!!!!
Raise unemployment benefits and food stamp allocations 50%
outlaw guns but keep the Fed? bad logic
99 problems but a bitch aint one
+1000 LOL
thats one way to get free food
Maybe one of these days people will wake up and see that Bernanke is a criminal and he'll be locked up in the fed reserve and there will be a standoff before bringing him to justice... oh shit I forgot reality is way more fucked up than fiction. Maybe Bernanke should now be referred to as Rolo Tomasi: the one who got away with it.
Someone's got a case of the Mondays!
Forget Food Index, is there a Burrito Index?
http://donpalabraz.com/?p=2810
Or a Burrito ETF? Come on Barclays!
Hard to know whether to laugh, cry, be angry at his response or feel sorry for this man. All of this for $3.50. Makes you wonder what his situation was. Maybe $7. was all all he had and was hungry. Rather drastic response.
Now the Citizens will pay $70,000. a year to incarcerate him.
Although, I think we all feel the same when we have to buy Heating Oil and it is $380. for 100 gallons. Or Gas at $3.60.
I doubt he'll actually go to prison. The system however will generate about $80K in GDP processing him through and on into probation. See, this is really a bullish event. Thank the Bernank!
Gives new meaning to the term 'Fire Sauce'.

This one's for TYLER,
Portugal gov't nears collapse amid debt crisis Portugal's government fights for survival amid unpopular measures to ease financial crisisPortuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates, right, listens to Pedro Passos Coelho, leader of the main opposition party the center-right Social Democratic Party, PSD, as they meet Monday March 21, 2011, at Lisbon's Sao Bento palace, the premier's official residence. Portugal's embattled minority government is making a last-ditch effort to enlist opposition party support for a new batch of austerity measures aimed at avoiding a bailout. (AP Photo/Armando Franca)
Barry Hatton, Associated Press, On Monday March 21, 2011, 11:29 am EDTLISBON, Portugal (AP) -- Just as Portugal appeared to have dodged a bailout like those taken by Greece and Ireland, a domestic political spat was set Monday to worsen its financial troubles and possibly spoil Europe's efforts to put the sovereign debt crisis behind it.
Portugal's main opposition parties told the beleaguered minority government they won't budge from their refusal to endorse a new set of austerity measures designed to ease a huge debt burden that is crippling the economy.
The new steps are likely to be rejected in a parliamentary vote expected Wednesday and the timing could not be worse. A defeat in the vote, Prime Minister Jose Socrates warned, would trigger his government's resignation, consigning Portugal to at least two months of political limbo just as officials were hoping to boost investor confidence in the country's future.
"At this point, a political crisis is a big push towards the country resorting to outside help," Finance Minister Fernando Teixeira dos Santos said.
The national political crisis also threatens to set back Europe's broader plan to stamp out the debt market jitters -- leaders at a two-day summit starting Thursday will seek to ratify key changes to the bloc's rescue fund and spare Portugal the need to surrender policy decisions to outside authorities through a bailout.
The new European policy would allow the fund to purchase government debt, easing market pressure which has driven the borrowing costs of weak countries to unsustainable levels. European leaders hope the response will herald the end of the debt crisis that has dragged on for more than a year.
That deal, however, was contingent on Portugal implementing the austerity measures that are unlikely to survive the country's political standoff.
Portugal's center-left Socialist government, which has insisted it doesn't want or need a bailout, won the backing of the European Central Bank and the European Commission for that new austerity plan. The ECB has already been helping Portugal by buying its government debt and providing funds to its banks.
With the austerity plan at risk, Portugal's political woes are likely to sow fresh uncertainty among investors who are nervous about the 17-nation eurozone's fiscal soundness and prospects for economic recovery. The big worry is that the high borrowing costs will continue to erode confidence and economic growth and eventually threaten the stability of much larger debt-heavy nations such as Spain, Belgium and Italy.
"We think Portugal will eventually need to request a bailout," said Emilie Gay, analyst at Capital Economics.
The Portuguese government's insistence that it can find its own path out of its difficulties "are not very credible any more," she said.
Portugal has to find cash to meet bond repayments amounting to almost euro9.5 billion ($13.48 billion) falling due in April and June. It has had no trouble raising money on markets so far, but it needs to lower steep borrowing costs that are pushing it into a downward spiral. The yield on its 10-year bond, for example, was at 7.4 percent on Monday -- not far from euro-era records.
The debt market jitters are more than concerns for investors or governments -- they have a real economic impact on a country and its people because they imply savage austerity measures. As in Greece and Ireland, standards of living plummet as the economy readjusts to lower wages and prices to become more competitive.
Portugal is following a similar path. Its scrawny economy has posted average annual growth of less than 1 percent over the past 10 years. During that time, it amassed massive foreign debt to finance its western European lifestyle.
The main opposition party, the center-right Social Democrats, agrees the country must reduce its debt load and has consented to previous austerity measures including tax hikes and pay cuts.
But it said the government's latest austerity plan -- the fourth set of measures in 11 months -- goes too far because it hurts the weaker sections of society.
Among the measures is a freeze on old-age pensions which Social Democrat leader Pedro Passos Coelho described Monday as "deeply unfair."
The government has offered to negotiate changes to the package, but the opposition parties say they no longer trust the government because it didn't consult them before presenting the measures to European authorities earlier this month.
Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Jorge Lacao said the deadlock would have "very grave consequences" for Portugal.
The austerity measures have prompted a wave of strikes and street demonstrations. Workers with the national rail company and the Lisbon subway are due to walk off the job later this week.
This is our Tunisia moment.
People in America don't purchase food staples and don't know how to cook basic food stuffs. They don't buy beans and rice, they buy dollar value meals. They don't care if wheat costs go up 100 percent, but don't you touch the price on that hamburger.
When taco bell raises the prices on their dollar menus, they are essentially pushing people over the edge. There will be blood...
Who knows when our Tunisia moment is going to be? If this isn't the catalyst then it'll be something else soon. Wasn't it some guy who lit himself on fire that kicked off the revolution in ME?
They'll just drink your milkshake.
Let them eat iPads!
why don't you fucking diet and exercise you disgusting pig oh wait you cant because your a worthless? manchild . i love how dejected you sound oh poor baby can't eat his baconataers anymore boo fucking hoo fat fuck
not to worry, housing at 42% of cpi, will mask this inflation too...
the assailant is taking out his rage on the wrong people....he should have fired at bernankula...
If you're planning on a rampage at least get your targets sorted out ahead of time.
Just wait until the "average" American goes to the "supermarket" and sees that ground beef is $10 a pound...or a loaf of bread is $5.00. . .then $7.00....then $10.00
Or when they start seeing gasoline hit $5.00...then $10.00 a gallon.
Most people in this nation have NEVER had to do without anything. The thought of "going without" is completely alien to them.
Look around the next time you go to the grovery store...and imagine those same people you see freaking the fuck out because they can't buy enough food to feed themselves...
Shit, these are the same dumb motherfuckers that will trample people to get a fucking Zhu Zhu pet at christmas time...imagine if it were life or death.
Now I've scared myself....shit! hahahaha
Man, I ain't been to a grovery store in a long time.
Thanks for sharing.
Can't recommend self immolation after several bean burritos have been consumed.
it's an internal process at that point. see Japan.
The 7 Beefy Crunch Burritos heard around the world?
The question is, why don't people blow up at the people who screwed them over. That's what's needed... 7 billion people chasing after central banksters and politicians with pitchforks, torches and AK47s.
Shhhhh. You cannot say that. Please encode and retry. Thought/speech police are watching remotely from israel.
a. instant gratification
b. short attention span
c. nutritionally compromised
You can steal all the money you want thru inflation and not one person in 1000 will even know what happened.
Yikes, a 50% price increase is pretty steep, even in the land of the Bernank.
White Nigger Party Boy
"Too much beer and Taco Bell
And now my asshole burns like Hell."
More trouble with the Ring of Fire.
SHIT JUST GOT REAL. BITCHES!!! You fuck with our beefy crunch burritos, and all hell will break loose. Refund that man's money.
Life imitating art....remember Falling Down?
only go to establishments that have the soda outside the counter, than use the same cup every time you go out to eat.......inflation problem solved !
Take out a weapon and start squeezing of rounds when your Taco Bell becomes more expensive.
How Very American!
Nowhere else but Texas. With 3 of the fattest cities in the Union, the revolution begins there.
Living in Houston, I can confirm that a LARGE (no pun intended) proportion of the fatness comes from the immigrants here from Mexico. Apparently, the reward for actually living to the ripe old age of 30 as a Mexican is that you instantly add 120 pounds.
Why that is, I can't say, but it is the truth.

Strung out after a three day burrito binge. Man, I remember those days...
That USDA Grade D fit for human consumption ground beef is worth fightin' for I'll tell ya.
Did any body stop and think this man was feeding his family on that garbage because that is all he could afford. It is easy to poke fun when most of you guys are still able to pay the bills and afford food.
He was staying in a motel by himself according the information I have seen. So apparently not feeding the kids it seems.
Either way, something else had to set him off. You don't go crazy gun-psycho on the cops over a burrito unless you are on drugs or your life is completely falling apart.
Lot of that going around these days.
I wonder when they're going to figure out how to make fake corn tortillas.
The people who run the United States have seen little inflation in their necessities and don't see why the average American would experience inflation either. For example: private jets, down 5%, mega yachts down 15%, huge estancias in Uruguay up 1%, Manhattan Park Avenue condos down 2%, Congressmen down 5%, mayors down 10%, and governors down 25%.
We always referred to office rage as, “going postal.” So is the new descriptive, “going Bernanke?”
Shooting at cops and arrested is his hotel room, huh? So he bitches about the high cost of quality munchies but probably didn't complain much about the increased cost of the afternoon's cocaine.
What a POS!!
Let's combine bonkers and bernanke to make Bernankers.
Jack that garbage up 5000% and its still won't matter.
Shits nasty
have you not been PAYING ATTENTION!
the price of toilet paper has not gone up.
those clever people in marketing have developed a new variety which is 23% leaner!
(blinking tight-asses!)
Its 16:22 hours. Im waiting patiently for ZH to tell me how retarded the market are along with PS5 designs (Charts)
