Canadian government to suspend Parliament- POLITICO

From 2020

it will be interesting to see what his excuse is when the protest has been completely put down

will he give up his current power

I think the people will have to force him to do so

just looked up Chipotle. Their revenue/sales actually increased by roughly $400 million in 2020 from 2019. And their profit went up by about $6 million in 2020 vs 2019. Revenues in 2020 were $5.9 billion with $356 million in profit.

Their revenue and profit increased drastically from 2021 to 2019 - from $5.5 billion in 2019 with $350 million in profits to $7.5 billion in revenue in 2021 - with $653 million in profits.

Just one scenario, but I think the dude with the original tweet may have been right in this specific case. Haven't dug into the other companies just yet.

edit: and I think the original twitter guy was posting about YoY vs 2020 - but not 100% on that.

I wonder if this could be showing that all the restaurant closures throughout the nation (reportedly as many as 40-60% - gone forever) may be making big chains like Chipotle sales shoot through the roof. They did $1.6 billion more in revenue in one year-  that's pretty astounding. Looking at their sales - they've never made jumps like that the last 5+ years. Not sure that is all attributed to increases in prices.

Tons of local mom and pops gone out of business forever- fewer and fewer dining options- Chipotle snatches up that business. The big boys got the bailouts and are stronger than ever. Wall Street got a whale of a deal while Main Street took it up the you know what.

Yeah, I asked purely because I didn't know...

But it would make perfect sense that the pandemic benefits take out, delivery, and drive through fast food restaurants.

Interesting, says mental activity burns more calories than thought relative to physical.

No wonder I'm overweight.

I have no specific animus about Chipotle.  My wife likes it, we go on rare occasion, I'm not really a fan.  I've converted her to Willy's lately, I think it's better and it's local.

Chipotle apparently does a good job with their business model.  Their delivery of food is pretty good in my experience, the folks behind the counter are not that friendly, it's not up to Chick-Fil-A standards.  The only reason I go to CFA is their workers are so pleasant, aside from being in a hurry for lunch.  The food is OK.

I have really noticed around here a huge surge in delivery over the past two years, it has continued after the shut downs.  I infer a lot of folks got used to it and like it.  The strange thing is we can walk rather quickly to a number of places, but if we're hard at work (ha) I can see delivery being a plus.  Our front desk often has delivered food sitting on it.  Uber eats et al. must be doing pretty well too.  Grub Hub, might be an investment opportunity?

The process for distilling whisky is believed to have been brought to Scotland by monks, sometime between the 12th and 14th centuries, perhaps due to the difficulty in obtaining wine there. Scots acquired a fondness for the beverage, and along with their expertise in distilling it they also developed expertise in avoiding the taxes imposed on it. Scottish immigrants brought both of those skills to the United States and practiced them assiduously.
