And I'd like to add.
Today, according to the link a poster provided above there are now 4,000 KFCs in the US, but in 1994 there were 5,149.
That's a decline of a little more than 20% in the US.
And Uncle Jr:By 1994, KFC had 5,149 outlets in the US, and 9,407 overall, with over 100,000 employees.
By 2015, the company was struggling, having lost business to other retailers and being surpassed by Chick-fil-A as the leading chicken retailer three years previously.

And being serious, there is a demographic. Don't take this the wrong way:

And this. KFC is in decline still: Uncle Jr., google is your friend.

In the same year, Advertising Agenoted that KFC was losing market share to its smaller chicken restaurant rival, Chick-fil-A.[133] In 2011 Bloomberg News referred to KFC US as "an also-ran to McDonald's Corp".[134] In 2012, Forbes magazine described how many of the KFC outlets were "aged and uninviting", and that the chain "hasn't introduced an exciting new food item in ages".[135]
KFC was described in 2012 by Bloomberg Businessweek as a "muscular player" in developing regions, specifically Africa, China and India, while noting its falling market share in the US to rivals such as Chick-fil-A and Popeyes.[136] Some analysts speculated that KFC would begin spinning off its ailing US operations.[136] That year, the company began divesting control of company-owned US restaurants to franchised operations, with the intention of reducing overall company ownership from 35 percent to 5 percent.[136]
The new Pledge Allegiance to the Flag for U.S. students:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag and pray to God I won't be rolled out of school with a toe tag"
Unbelievably, some of these same proponents of the second amendment will wax lyrical about the stupidity of Thais. Trying to prevent the mentally ill from obtaining weapons is impossible. Anyone who cannot see a link between gun ownership and gun deaths is already mentally unstable and should not be allowed to own anything more deadly than a plastic spoon.
Is it just me and am I being overly cynical? I get the impression that Trump's words were carefully selected to subliminally lay blame on school security and that school security issues will be what the government talks about and tries to do something about. Keep away from talking about guns, lets talk about school security.
^Trump derangement syndrome brings out the best in people.
Now Trump is also suggesting it's mental illness that's the problem.
"So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. "
School security and, since he's not Muslim, mental health.
Lets not talk about how an 18 year old can buy an assault rifle. And lets not consider that if he had been Muslim, neither mental health nor gun laws nor school security would be at the top of Trumps ravings.
RIP to the latest set of innocents murdered in the American way.
Quite right. They all shot people by making gun-fingers, pointing them at people, and going: 'Pew-pew! You're dead!'.Originally Posted by Grampa
^ I understood it was bollox and I am a native English speaker, which clearly you are not.
Apparently shooter dude went and had McD's after his little spree.
Mass shooting, crappy fast food.
I don't think it's possible to get any more American than that... unless maybe he drove a pick-up to the restaurant?
Funny you should say that...Originally Posted by tomcat
