Wendy's franchisee files for Chapter 11 🍔

Wendy's franchisee files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as burger chain struggles https://t.co/EwqNiMddOl

— CNBC (@CNBC) September 18, 2026

The Wendy's franchisee that filed for bankruptcy owns 314 restaurants in 15 states.

Fast food restaurants cannot lower the food quality AND  raise the price of the lower quality food and expecting the customer to keep coming back to eat.  If they reduce food quality then they cannot raise the price of the burger. They've got to pick a side - quality or higher prices. 

About six months ago, I had a lot of errands and I got hungry around lunch time and I stopped by Wendy's and I bought a soda and French fries...the fries were absolutely trash and inedible and I threw them away because they tasted so horrid. I kid you not.  Just my opinion, No one wants to pay higher prices for food but Wendy's need to fix their food quality.

Diesel has reached a new high

we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticeably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022. pic.twitter.com/WvhSM4YaHM

The picture is telling us that the price for goods and service across the US is going to increase because diesel has increased.

Weather in Los Angeles on Wednesday🥵

Los Angeles is about to feel worse than Miami.

Wednesday, downtown LA is forecast to feel like 116. Burbank 117. Long Beach 106.

Miami that same afternoon: 108.

The moisture is left over from a hurricane, and the ocean breeze that normally saves LA is shut off. Nights only… pic.twitter.com/OZMGizvCo8

— Ryan Hall, Y’all (@ryanhallyall) September 8, 2026

The weather forcast for tomorrow, in Los Angeles, is going to be stupid hot!  Make sure that you are stocked up water, candles, etc. just in case there is a power outage.

Campbell's is cutting jobs & raising prices

🍜 The Campbell’s Co. has cut 13% of its salaried workforce, roughly 515 employees, amid declining sales

🧐 Campbell’s also recently closed two snack facilities and plans to increase prices on roughly 60% of its products pic.twitter.com/9q8eOsuUaI

— DailyJobCuts . com - Layoffs / Job / Economy News (@dailyjobcuts) September 4, 2026

Hopefully, the folks that are laid off can find jobs. There used to be a Campbell's Soup Plant in Sacramento, on Power Inn Road and they closed it about 10 or 15 years ago.  There used to be a Proctor & Gamble and a Wonder Bread factories in Sacramento.  I believe, they've all been closed.  It's very sad to see so many jobs being wiped out as these folks used to be apart of our middle class.

SoCal drink lots of water today

 

If you live in Southern California and you are going to be out and about today, make sure that you are drinking lots of water! It's 9:30 am and it's already 88 degrees and with the humidity it feels like 92 degrees.  The forecast for today is for 96 so I'm assuming with the humidity it's going to be 100 degrees.

During the end of summer sales, pick up the linen and/or cotton tops and get them in a size larger than you normal size so that they can fit loose.
