We won’t be moving our headquarters to Texas.  Now could I see us open a corporate office out of Colorado in the next 10-15 years?  Sure.  With my new role, I will be working out of Baldwin Park starting in January, then move to our Chino facility when it opens in 2023.  I will be spending some time in Colorado Springs, Dallas and Vegas next year.  

Well done!

 

(aka how I order my , as always love having food from y'all on my commute home)

Knowing INOs politics I'm surprised Grand Junction isn't on your CO radar.  You can rub elbows with the great Lauren Boebert.

But Colorado Springs probably suits you guys fine. Just stay out of Denver and Boulder.

We will have stores in all of those cities. Not everyone or every company makes every decision based on politics.

It is a new warehouse, that will replace the one in Baldwin Park (its big enough for 50 years of growth), fleet maintenance and Cookout department.

That kitchen has been going 24/7 trying to improve their fries. It hasn't been successful.

What exactly are they testing. I don’t think they’ve added a menu item since the Kennedy administration

Equipment mostly. 30 years ago one company made every single bun we served, now we have 3-4, we test those relentlessly before you ever get them, that way you have no idea we have different buns in different states. We changed our pickles recently.  But like I said, 95% equipment.

This may tend to happen in 2021 when the lead singer of your band has a PhD in molecular biology. With that said, drummer guy's statement is well stated and level headed.

Then he should know that the vaccine is effective and there’s no need to worry about those that aren’t vaccinated. All we need now is separate things for vaxxed v. Unvaxxed. No need for the two types of people to have anything to do with one another. In all seriousness, as a someone who got the vaccine, I have no issues working with or associating with others who are not. I am confident that it is effective and keeping me from serious harm. Trying to avoid Covid is going to be futile as it’s here to stay and never going away. This is people taking sides, much of it based on their political ideology, and it’s not helpful to anyone.

There was a story recently how Rage Against the Machine is now requiring concert goers to show proof of vaccination to be admitted to their show.

Just did that tonight to see James Taylor and Jackson Browne at the Pond.

It’s for sure never going away with the idea that people should just have to cave in to the ridiculous demands of the anti vax people.  Giving these people that power is it own kind of “tyranny”.  The virus needs to be suppressed and that’s done with vaccines.  It may well get to a point where it’s a seasonal flu type thing.  It’s true that some viruses end up becoming less dangerous with time -   Influenza is a good example of this - But we don’t know that now with Covid.  More dangerous or vaccine resistant variants could come into play the longer it’s allowed to at large scale spread around communities.  Anyway, the vaccine doesn’t completely prevent you from getting sick.  And even if it’s not dangerous you can still become quite ill which sucks.  Why should everyone else have to keep getting shots ? Fuck that.  Why do we have to deal with that because fucking idiots that refuse to deal with reality have decided the virus is their new battlefield in the culture wars.  Maybe you’re ok with it.  I am not.  I am really getting sick of this.

The problem is, as Cals would put it, the 100 IQ morons who take one or two data points and use it to prop up their pre-conceived notions about how they think the world works. 

The virus would likely be defeated if we could reach a high percentage of global vaccination. The feasibility of doing that logistically has always been a challenge, but we’ve never had a chance when 35% of the population could easily get it but refuses to do so.
