    Elissa Slotkin IS the oligarchy. She is the Hot Dog Princess. Her grandpa owned BallPark Franks—subsidiary of the Tyson Foods megacorp. Every time someone eats a hot dog, Elissa gets more passive income than most folks earn from a year’s labor.

      She sucks, I voted for Harper in the primaries but the Dems are full of neo-libs like her. It’s hard to see that party go more liberal even with Sander’s and AOC’s help

      She also is only in office because she kept district hopping to avoid getting primaried until she was up for a senate seat, whereupon the Democratic Party pushed out or made concessions to all the other better candidates so they would drop. She’s widely reviled.

      Among the shittiest hot dogs on the market. It’s Nathan’s or Hebrew National, everything else is garbage.

        Nathan’s make me extremely sick because they are sweetened with sorbitol.

          Huh, thanks for this. I have family that swears by them, but they also make me sick. I didn’t realize they had sorbitol. I had wondered why their brand was so disagreeable to me.

        There are places in the USA where you can find smaller, more local hot dog makers.

        The best I’ve had are Hippey’s Franks from Denver, Pennsylvania.

          Better than Hebrew Nat?

            So much better than Hebrew National, Ballpark, Nathan’s or any national brand. Bigger, more and better flavor.

              Well I just need to road trip a couple thousand miles and get a good dog. It’s been YEARS.

                I don’t think it’s just a US east coast thing. See if there are any local butchers near you and check out what they sell. Or, look for local, independent meat companies.

                  We don’t have indie butchers or meat companies near, anymore, but I’m going out of town in a couple of weeks so I’ll see if where I’m going does. They probably do.

          Hot Dogs can be pork, chicken or beef, or even a combination. Hebrew National is all beef. I prefer all beef wieners myself.
