Republicans. They have blockaded any possible reform.

Well you know all those boomers retiring ? They not doing work anymore but that's not the worst of it. Now they are spending that retirement money instead of stashing it.

So they're selling their stocks and now the companies need cash or demonstrate profit growth or else their share prices will tank.

Also everything breaks in five years at best. Doesn't matter how much you spend, basically everything is shit quality minimum viable products.

It's because of the napkin gnomes. Nobody can ever catch them.

The US has not set up a system that compensates properly. Most European countries have a security net in place when capitalism squeezes regular people. The US does not. You're on your own.

We really can vote with our dollars. The issue is that we don’t (I’m point right at myself here).

Don’t buy the things, we probably don’t need em.

Maybe they just didn’t restock the napkins? Dude went to Taco Bell and almost had an aneurysm

It's a shame so much time has passed for the public to even recall how much Teddy fought for the average Joe blow public with his first deal. He fought the corporate overloads and they couldn't believe he couldn't be bribed like those before him and since.

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life. -Theodore Roosevelt

Ask for napkins, if they won't give you any, pour a soda out on the counter and steal some of the paper towels they use to clean it up. (Actually don't, this method isn't nice for the workers)

It's going to be a fun next few years. Corpo dickheads keep trying to make another nickel next quarter, but more and more people have had enough. If food is too expensive, people will start stealing it, and the police can't be everywhere. Better hope there isnt 't some global pandemic or something that would suddenly make it acceptable to wear a mask in public.

The trick is they do this because "you" keep showing up. Spend literally 30-45 minutes to make a pile of taco fixings that will taste better, be healthier, and be cost competitive (if cooked in bulk).

Its shitty only for the poor. Rich has the best life there. If you're rich , move to US Of A

It's the natural end for a free market. The big players take over and squeeze every drop of blood they can from the consumer class until the inevitable collapse or B&L buys the government.
