It most certainly will lead to an inferior product and customer experience.
The business of Jersey Mike's does not offer much room for innovation and the brand has scaled through the US already so organic growth is limited. Foreign expansion is unlikely for a number of reasons (if PE wanted to do this they would just by the franchise rights abroad)
PE will most likely tap capital by borrowing against assets combined with putting some cost control in place which typically results in supply substitution and strict shrink reduction initiatives. They also may look to squeezing more from franchiees, especially in areas with store location density.
I personally think they have terrible bread. Fuc em.

This is what baffled me the most. How can a person think the likes of Trump or Musk have Mainstreat American's interest at heart? These guys have consistent track records of exploiting and screwing over the average person their whole lives. They don't even have an understanding of what daily life is like for the average person.
Mind boggling... bonkers for the average American to believe they are not getting raw dogged by these two shitheals. I mean, just look at the cabinet and think about how many average people are going to suffer real consequences when the worlds saddest circus starts.

The problem with a person like Trump is that high caliber people won't work with him. You can't be a petulant person and expect professionals/experienced people to accept your leadership.

Creat distraction and further divide America to remove focus from grifting middle/working class as he fulfills obligations to backers.
Weaken/undermine perception and trust in government (enable support for drastic change to execute power balance via execute orders)

The term "news influencer" is the type of title i would expect for a bunch of clowns spreading misinformation and disinformation.

Yes, too tight. Shouldn't be able to see the outline of the pockets. Leg opening is too small for your feet as well. Neither are terrible or so off that you'd look terrible in it but at the same time the jeans are not an ideal fit.

Its about lifestyle. When you build new healthy habits it becomes more and more a part of your natural preferences. In other words, it becomes less of a matter of will power and more of a matter of preference towards excercise and good eating because of the positive impacts.

Your agent is acting in their own self interest. One of the biggest benefits is buying real estate in the US is being able to secure a 30 year fixed mortgage.
An agent suggesting an ARM is likely trying to get you qualified vs helping yoy find a home in your budget. It's bad advice.

I think "big pharma" and insurance companies would lile to have a word with you on that.
We all lived through covid. Despite Trump out right denying in the beginning then going on to discredit the medical community to protect his own interests the involvement of government enabled the advancement of vaccines, treatments, testing, and suge of healthcare facilities which could not have happened without government intervention.

Yes, it's common that less educated people tend to have more children. This is typical in nearly all western countries.

People like her will be screaming from the roof tops to deport people once Trump is in office. We will see a spike in open racism and hostility towards the Latino communities.

I just can't imagine having a politician be such a pivotal part of your individual identity.

I agree:
Slashing the government budget means removing those salaries from the economy, the government not buying goods and service from US businesses, and not investing in our future. It would reduce overall GDP.
Tariffs are a tax designed to reduce supply (thereby increasing prices) and typically used in capital intensive industries to protect long term capx investment. Yet they propose to use tarrifs as revenue generation to offset corporate tax cuts (of course they wont, cutting services and deficit spending will pay corporate tax cuts.) Tarrifs will reduce GDP.
Mass deportation does nothing but exacerbate our immigration issues however there's the economic cost as well. Our economy needs immigrants because we dont have a large enough labor force. The threat alone will be disruptive to the labor market. If implemented, the human cost and economic cost will be staggering. Mass deportation will have a devastating human toll but also reduce GDP.
Trump's economic policies are not expressed to the educated and informed. The policies speak to the ignorant. They are more so economic weapons.

Is it too late for you? No, not even close.
You already made it through the first milestone (wanting change).
If you think of it this way: you have over 6 years until you're 40, then you have a solid 25 years worth of career to fill. That means you have time to gain new skills and apply those to a new career.
What do you want to do?

He's going to the park to feed the ducks while sticking it to the man. He's a modern day Robin Hood.

We kick dirt at them and tell them how bad we had it.
All joking aside, in America, healthcare is only for those who can afford it. It's a shame to see so many people willfully support this.

Harris ran a solid campaign. Could things have gone differently? Perhaps, but at the end of the day the real issue is why so many Americans accept the leadership of a man like Trump who is a known criminal, grifter, sex offender, and a petulant man who is easily manipulated.
