Much better would be drinking all night and not going at all

how did you get “honoured to eat a burger” from “not as big a deal as people make it”

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It's not even that it's a burger. It's that he put it on display as a banquet, talked about how he paid for it personally, and he acted like they should be honored to eat the burger.

And, again, maybe it's because I've "never accomplished anything" that I would hope that the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES would spring for more than a cold Big Mac after inviting me to the WHITE HOUSE.

I'd do what I could to offer those guys more than a cold Big Mac if I invited them to my house and I'm by no means someone who brags about his fabulous wealth.

I think they deserved to be treated better regardless of you think what they would have wanted because of all of your amazing accomplishments. I'm sorry, but your Nobel Prize doesn't mean they aren't entitled to be treated with at least the modicum of dignity as a visiting head of state.

I mean at the absolute very least keep them warm instead of taking them all out for a photo op where they'll get cold! Is that making too big a deal out of it? Saying they were entitled to a warm Big Mac when visiting the President of the United States at the White House who brags to you about paying for it with his own money?

I thought by now you would have deleted this since it illustrates how people blow it way out of proportion

Yes, expecting someone to get warm food when they get invited to the White House is an embarrassing position and I don't know why I haven't deleted it yet. Maybe it's my lack of accomplishments.
