  • It’s not all that surprising. It’s something like an 80/20 issue. Rights are rights and I think most people are to that point, but things get a bit more wobbly about this specific issue. At least at this point in time. And that’s probably even before all the bad faith arguments coming from conservatives.

    It’s probably why cons worked to put these kinds of things on ballots - a re-play of the Karl Rove tactic from years ago in order to drive more cons to the polls.










  • Yeah. I get all that. Most or all of the (hot) food is not vegetarian or vegan so our options are drastically narrowed, but that’s every single gas station, really.

    I appreciate it being clean. It seems other chains could just step their bathroom and game up - like say, Love’s - and it’d be about the same.

    What I really don’t get is when people make it a destination and want merch and so on. The signs for Buc’ees (in Fort Collins) start up in Wyoming, IIRC. You’d think it was a place like Wall Drug or something…

    To me, the whole thing struck me as a bit goofy as we first pulled off the highway a few years ago. Then I walked in and the store seemed like a combo of Hobby Lobby and Walmart as far as Americana schlock being sold…definitely got a whiff of what they were probably going for. Figured it was kind of coded for conservatives.

    I was right.
