The Apocalypse: No More One Dollar Diet Coke at McDonald's

The world has ended officially and thoroughly. 

This week I went to my local McDonald's to partake in one of my few guilty pleasures, a large Diet Coke. I have enjoyed this beverage for years, paying one dollar plus tax. No more. I got hit in one McDonalds with $1.20, and when I went to another in a different town, assuming there was a mistake at the first, I got hit for $1.30. I am not a genius with math, but that, my friends, is a 20-30% jump in price. Thank God, Biden's inflation reduction bill got passed by the Congress. 

Oh, my other guilty pleasure? Dirty Harry--the original, the sequels, well, meh. I suppose the cancel wokesters will eventually ban that film or re-edit it to remove "offensive stereotypes."

Can things get worse? Yes, they can. Biden's ill-thought-out adventure in Ukraine brings us ever closer either to nuclear war or, at "best," to a rebalancing of global power much to the detriment of the West. To point this out, as I have on Twitter, gets one accused of being a "Putin clown." 

Our woke/prog masters want no dissent, no reflexion on the wisdom of the path taken. We get almost no independent news out of Ukraine--no intrepid journalists reporting from the front lines, for example--and must do with the "news" as approved by Kyiv, Washington, and London, e.g., staged photo ops, and billions of dollars, pounds, euros on the way to Kyiv--well, we think, to Kyiv. We have few real journalists willing to ask real questions of the powerful.

Meanwhile, of course, the US and the West continue under assault from a ceaseless wave of "refugees" fleeing from . . . well, we are not allowed to ask. They arrive, with assistance from so-called NGOs--many of them getting public funds--and powerful Mexican drug cartels, full of demands which our struggling cities struggle to meet. Our own infrastructure goes to ruin, e.g., disaster in E. Palestine, Ohio, and our own citizens get taxed and "inflated" out of their earnings, and their jobs go overseas or to the newcomers. We continue to refuse to adopt successful policies of the recent past to control these "migrants," criminal aliens, really. 

We also refuse to adopt recent policies which produced US energy independence, and had freed us from the Middle East, Venezuela, and the kleptocrats of Russia. None of this makes sense except that we are governed by people who hate us, want us poor, subservient, hungry, or dead. 

Tomorrow, I go on another of my periodic visits to Spain for a couple of weeks. I will try to disconnect, but that is not really possible. I will see if I have the mood to write. I do write a lot on Twitter, whenever I want to get insulted.

  2. Happily for about $2 I can buy four bottles, each of 2 US quarts, of "sparkling water" at the supermarket. These I can turn into sugar water of many different flavours just by adding a little cordial. I particularly enjoy Elderflower, and also Dandelion & Burdock. I commend this frugal habit to you.

  4. Guess I'm not sufficiently woke/progressive because I disagree with some of your points but am not going to invoke any clown or other metaphors.
    Putin's been in power for 25 years, and for about the first 5-10 of those, he was providing valuable leadership. His continued reign has degraded regional security over time. My main citation isn't Biden or Sholz, but rather that the Finns and Swedes see fit to request an alliance with the US. Those guys aren't sissies, and they've held their own against Russia before. But now they're seeing something they're very uncomfortable with on their southern and eastern border. (Much as the US should be uncomfortable with what's on *it's* southern border as well.)
    Why did the turkey cross the road? Because it realized it had been on the side of NATO!

    1. And this false dichotomy that oversight of spending necessarily undermines support for Ukraine is quite obviously wrong. SIGAR agrees. If we want to support Ukraine more fully, the way to do that is with *strong* spending oversight. That provides the US population with the assurance that we're not going to regret those dollars, making it easier to invest further.

    It can cause depression, as if we need another thing causing depression.

  12. Yeah. about the coke thing. Mexican produced Coke Cola cost ~ $ 20.00/ case of 24(or about $3.50/4 pack) about two years back. Today's price is $6.99/4 pack and cases don't exist anymore. A two piece combo at Popeye's runs ~$11.00 where it used to be ~ $7.00 and so it goes. But this ain't no inflation; it's just the "new normal".

  15. It amazing how little a fountain soft drink actually costs to make. My memory from working at a little lunch joint was that a 20oz cola (Not Coke or Pepsi we used a local vendor Foxxon Park) all totaled was about $ 0.15 (this C. 1981). The most expensive singular ingredient was the cup at like $,07 each (a stack of 200 paper cups was ~$13.50) The CO2 was next with water, syrup and Ice fighting for last place . This was aside from labor of course although I was making a lordly $3.25/hr (being an experienced deli guy and short order cook). Excluding Labor I bet it doesn't cost McD's more that $.25 to generate a 20oz diet coke. The rub there is excluding labor, I also wonder if the syrup has gotten pricey due to the aspartame and availability of that ( and other ingredients)

      I'm not a big fan of Trump. I disagree with the Doha disaster and everything involved both administrations (nobody gets off the hook, imo). But arresting Trump is a move that only benefits America's enemies, both foreign and domestic.

    DiploMadic reConsideration~~~

    Saturday, November 19, 2022
    [Posted by DiploMad at 1:13 PM 20 comments:]

    Back in NC
    ...
    I am curious to hear our local GOP poobahs' take on the recent midterms and the state of play for 2024. The Republicans did relatively well in North Carolina.

    I, for one, refuse to get drawn into the Trump vs DeSantis debate which is being fed by the pro-Democrat media, and by some surprisingly tone deaf comments from President Trump. Now is not the time for a GOP civil war. If we don't address the serious structural issues in our election system--polite way of saying "fraud"--it makes no difference whom the GOP nominates: he/she cannot win.
    Either the GOP tackles the issues of mass mail-in ballots, no voter ids, ballot harvesting, non-citizen voting, and corrupt voting machines, or it just cedes the field to the Democrats.

    As one wise man said, can't remember who, "The Republicans chase after voters; the Democrats chase after votes." An unfortunate but accurate depiction of the state of play, kind of along the lines of the apocryphal statement attributed (False? True?) to Stalin, "It's not who casts the votes that matters; it's who counts the votes."
    OK. Got to go pay the gardener and figure out why the house won't heat up.

  35. The Plot thickens:

    ELECTIONS
    The one thing Trump and McConnell agree on: A hatred for this group--->One of D.C.'s longest-lasting anti-tax organizations wants to pick Senate candidates. Republicans see a 2022 repeat.
    (...)
    Even lawmakers keeping an open mind about how the Club approaches the current cycle don’t hide their concern over the group’s past tactics.

    “There’s a lot of work to be done on understanding the main goal is not to make a point on any one political issue, but to win,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), against whom the Club once tried to recruit a primary challenger.

    ...But the Club hasn’t been content merely to cross Senate GOP leaders. The group has launched an offensive against Trump too, raising the spectre that a primary that was already destined to be brutal could end up bloody.
    ...
    He (CFG Pres.McIntosh) began the cycle by briefing reporters that Trump’s toxicity was hurting the party’s chances with swing voters and announcing that the group had not invited him to its annual donor retreat. Then, he outlined his plans to zero in on key Senate races.

    In West Virginia, the Club announced it will spend at least $10 million to boost Republican Rep. Alex Mooney just as GOP recruiters are on the cusp of convincing the wealthy and popular Gov. Jim Justice to run. In Montana, the group is nudging Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale, who lost to Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) in 2018, to make another go while the NRSC has been heavily recruiting Tim Sheehy, a Navy SEAL and wealthy businessperson.

    And in Ohio, the Club is beseeching GOP Rep. Warren Davidson to take on Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in what is already an extremely crowded field.

    In 2020, Trump carried all three states. In 2024, they represent Republicans’ best opportunity to retake the Senate. All three of the Club’s preferred candidates in these states are members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus with profiles that might not endear them to swing voters in a general election.

      "Lippincott: At the national level, conservatives must sideline cultural battles in favor of issues of national survival…

      "Conservatives Lost the Culture War and the Trump Agenda Is the Only Path Forward
      At the national level especially, conservatives must sideline the cultural battles in favor of issues of national survival.

      By Josiah Lippincott
      April 27, 2023
      Immigration, trade, war, and crime. Being right on these four issues propelled Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016 against all odds. The intervening seven years have changed nothing. The only way a candidate from the Right can possibly win the presidency in 2024 is by campaigning on limiting immigration (build the wall), increasing tariffs, getting out of Ukraine, and restoring law and order (especially in regards to elections and the opioid crisis).

      These are the core issues for the center-Right coalition needed to win national elections. No supposedly conservative politician with aspiration for higher office should ever make any public statement without hammering at least one of these points. Journalist asks about Social Security? Talk about why we need to stop giving money to Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Democratic opponent brings up climate change? Talk about why we need to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it.

      The issues of national survival are of primary importance. There is no point in fighting a culture war if we don’t have a country in which this war can take place. Conservatives do not have a viable path to political power any other way.

  38. I’ve given up on your posts, sir. I wish you the best and am grateful for all of the posts you have written and your service to the country. I wish you were still writing here, but I won’t bother your url any longer :-) I’ve been a big fan, Steve Evans

    1. Never give up.

    2. ~~~"Never give up."~~~

      Proudly I stand
      to 2nd that emotion~~~
      And would furthermore
      ask those "6" readers
      we've known hereabouts,
      and our brother #1482 too...
      Are miracles even possible
      when we choose to "Give Up"?~~~

  39. I too have noticed many Americans nowadays just
    "give up", 'spect the ChiComs are banking on
    those American quitters as well as the other
    minions they've bought & paid for, ala the
    "Biteme Bunch types, aka Hunter, Joe
    Blow & the rest of their diseased clan~~~
    On the plus side of the ledger there
    remain the stalwart Squadron -12
    Bubbleheads, like Bob McManus,
    of the N.Y. Post who still manages
    to sink targets & hold his bubble >~o~>
    To Wit:
    "Proclamations have consequences, as Mayor Eric Adams is discovering.
    Adams, in a manner of speaking, runs a self-proclaimed “sanctuary city.”
    That’s progressive-speak for a municipality dedicated to packing as many illegal border-crossers into its confines as will fit — and then protecting them from the immigration cops.

    Back in the day, lefties used the term to troll people who respect the rule of law.

    But no real harm was done then because, in relative terms, there weren’t all that many illegals around.

    Now big cities across the country — especially New York — are up to their scuppers in them; social-services chaos reigns; there’s another budget-busting wave on the way, and the progressives are starting to sing a different song.

    But rather than placing blame where it belongs — on the Biden administration’s immigration non-policy — the progs are searching for scapegoats.

    Monday, Adams found Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

    The mayor laced into Abbott, a white Republican, accusing him of busing illegals to big cities “with black mayors” — presumably in pursuit of one racist goal or another.

    It was a disappointing outburst, if only because it recalls Adams’ early days in public life.

    The former cop was a founder of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care — a platform custom built for career-enhancing race-baiting and which was used to that purpose without subtlety or shame.

  40. I'm guessing our dear author is more or less dropping this blog as it's only generating revenue for Google while Twitter is at least more agnostic.

  41. Fairly creative 'guess' #1482, but I do find it
    a bit difficult to swallow the notion that only the
    6 of US, at large anon Dipsters, plus 1, are able to
    generate very much Google revenue? Although I am
    not privy to just how many Greenback$ the "DiploMad
    2.0 Blogspot" principals are required to pay the Google
    group for their hospitality etc.. However I do note that I have
    heard the tail end of a recent Tucker Carlson broadcast
    whereon he said that he was taking his show on the
    road to Twitter! Suspect that the DiploMad in Chief
    got wind of the Sea Change over at FOX and
    cleverly re-secured his berth at TWITTER
    right next door to the JUST FIRED
    TUCKER from FOX ~~~ all this
    while our Host was traveling the
    the high country over in Spain
    w/ a flock of SHEEP as told by
    reputable sources!

    So NO, IMHO Bro reader,
    #1482 I don't see why
    Dip would give-up on
    this quiet, if not ancient
    corner he has occupied
    now since, 2011 was it?

    Anyhowl I still enjoy
    reading the Archives

  42. Sad if Dip has moved onto greener pasture, been following for years and certainly could use some wisdom or at least a fellow patriot's words to sort the events out.

    1. I hear you Skip,
      loud enough, and less
      garbled than some of us~~~
      My guess is that DJT is still in need of
      a few more good men for the task ahead ie.
      saving our Country & her people, from the arse wipes
      and 'rat bastids who are maneuvering US toward the abyss~~~
      Now is the time for those men & women on the Trump Team
      to be perfecting their tools & skills including keeping their heads down, till the CinC in waiting issues administrative and or Military orders to engage our obvious enemies...
      BUT until then don't become targets for the WOKE MOBS, such as that MASS of SLIME in NYC trying to crucify the US Marine who subdued a NUT CASE on a NYC Subway~~~
      That is, 'stay the hell out of Subterranean habitats till after the Presidential Election'/ then we can begin to undue the CRAP that Geraldo Rivera and the Leftist Press ignited out of the overwhelmed & unsupported N.Y. Mental Health Sys!

      Now we can see why it takes wise, cautious, patient, and Tough people, to become those Pros which the Republican Candidate, and former POTUS must identify and weave into the fabric of his Administration~~~ imho~~anyways!
