The Amstutz Expressway in Waukegan, Illinois, is one of the most expensive infrastructure failures in the U.S. This 2.9-mile highway, which was built in two phases over 16 years, serves fewer than 15,000 vehicles per day and is the epitome of a "road to nowhere." But its story is far from boring. From being featured in Hollywood car chases to its failure to serve its original purpose, this expressway has become a symbol of misguided planning and wasted resources. Tune in to learn about the fascinating history of the Amstutz, why it’s still standing, and how it became an unlikely filming location for movies like The Blues Brothers and Batman Begins.▶ Discover How to Pay Off 💵 Your Mortgage 🏠 in a Few Years 📅: https://www.udemy.com/course/payoff-y... 🎞️ 📖 INCREDIBLE BOOKS▶ How I Make A Six Figure Income On YouTube: https://geni.us/UZ2bnyd▶ How To Get Out Of Debt Fast: https://geni.us/HeWdQi1▶ Rethink Money: https://geni.us/YljOz9▶ Amazing Money Stories: https://geni.us/R7ef▶ Essential Disney Hacks: https://geni.us/cYZO3T0▶ 5 Strategies That Changed My Life: https://geni.us/dxPr▶ Insider Secrets for Transforming Travel: https://geni.us/QzzEgjo▶ Money Is Factscinating: https://geni.us/LckBTAXFOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶ Instagram:   / expedition.money  ▶ Facebook:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ LinkedIn:   / expeditionmoney  

Why can’t you buy a McRib whenever you want? In this episode, we uncover the real reason McDonald’s keeps the McRib on a limited-time-only leash. From pork commodity pricing and supply chain strategy to artificial scarcity and behavioral psychology, the truth behind the McRib is far more calculated than you think.

Launched in 1981 as a backup plan during a chicken shortage, the McRib has evolved into one of the most brilliant fast-food marketing plays in history. We break down the data linking McRib returns to low pork prices, the “Disney vault” scarcity strategy, and why novelty fatigue makes it impossible for the sandwich to survive year-round.

If you’ve ever used the McRib Locator, stocked up during a limited release, or wondered whether this is all one giant corporate mind game — this episode is for you.
