NYS Thruway service areas (rest stops) have gone through renovations and Chik Fil A is now one of the restaurants at the rest areas. Their policy of not being open on Sundays, because of the Christian values of the founder, has caused controversy since Sundays are heavily traveled days on that the primary north south highway in NY. There are parts of the state where the rest stops are the only places to fuel up and get food near the highway. I wonder if part of the criteria for owning one a CFA franchise is religious, Christian to be specific.
Re tariffs, it’s about time something happened. The current administration seems to think they can do anything without congress’s involvement and is neglecting civics 101. Could it be a way to manipulate the markets? Every time a tariff is declared just buy or short because you know it will flop in days. The current president has even bragged about how much some of his rich “bros” have made with this strategy. Anyone want a TACO with their chicken?
Re 10 commandments in school I will quote two people:
“The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.”
— James Madison
"The specter of single-issue religious groups is growing over our land. … One of the great strengths of our political system always has been our tendency to keep religious issues in the background. By maintaining the separation of church and state, the United States has avoided the intolerance which has so divided the rest of the world with religious wars."
I haven't been to a Chik Fil A in over 7 years. None around here. I don't do fast food but 5-6 times a year. But it is way better than any other chicken place.
I had 1 Chik Fil A in an airport once; it was pretty good, actually. That was many many yrs ago. I am not a fast food fan at all. I haven't been to any fast food places for many many yrs.

Have never had a Chik Fil A but never had a McDonald's hamburger either. Never a fast food fan.
