One of Trump's "after-the-fact critiques [of the Iraq War] was … that we didn’t take the oil." Is Venezuela's oil one reason he is now readying the U.S. military to attack it? It's hard to say given that none of the cited pretexts for his belligerence have been rational. [@joelmathis.bsky.social]

McDonald's is losing its low-income customers. Economists call it a symptom of the stark wealth divide
These customers are feeling the pressures of higher prices on groceries and apparel and the growing cost of rent and child care, the company's chief executive said in a recent earnings call.
