    If anyone hasn’t seen Some More News - I highly recommend. I find it very similar to John Oliver, great to watch while he’s off.

      Fun Fact!

      Daniel O’Brien writes on John Oliver & he was a writer at Cracked with Robert Evans (Behind the Bastards, It Could Happen Here, etc…), Cody Johnston & Katie Stoll (both on - Some More News, Even More News, etc…) and while they’ve all got their own voice, they’re also very similar at the same time.

      I don’t think you finished the video, he explains why your last sentence is just a bad faith argument. It’s a really good show with lots of information in a funny format. You should give it a try.

      It’s such a weird thing to read over and over. But McDonald’s is so much cheaper than eating healthy. Motherfucker, my favourite food right now is a vegan noodle salad. While it varies in ingredients, a whole bowl with like 500g of noodles cost like 10bucks where i live, and that is when i’m too lazy to make my own sauce. When i don’t wanna do groceries, i always have rice and beans, tomatoes and canned tomatoes and noodles at home. I never keep track on what that even costs, but it’s probably like 3dollars a serving. If these assholes sell you sugar bread, mix 3 to 5 ingredients and make bread.

          You can make it even cheaper by securing yourself a parcel of unclaimed land, stealing some animals, building a small shack, and then growing all the vegetables yourself!

          A cheeseburger from McDonald’s is $2 × 3 = $6. You can buy a large fries for $3 and split it. Steal handfuls of ketchup and salt. $9 to feed your family of three. You can even buy a large soda and split it, ya bourgeoisie fuck, and it took you no energy or time to cook it, instead of the 1+ hour it took to make yours.
