Times change. It's kind of what they do. Gone are the days of the cheap diesel truck, the dollar menu burger, and a quick and easy burial. Now even dying is expensive. The good news is, there are options. You don't need a diesel truck when an electric one can accelerate so fast you black out. Fast food is pricing itself out of the business, so just sit down somewhere and get more food than you can fit inside a human body. And when you're done, head over to the nearest open fire pit and expire inside of it to save thousands on funeral expenses. It's the circle of life. Learn more about your ad choices.
