like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

More importantly, don’t work there. Giving your labor to these businesses is just as bad, if not worse as spending your money there.

These are both really easy sentiments to have. In the real world, we eat the food we can afford and work wherever will hire us.

“the food we can afford” is not descriptive of Taco Bell

Dude. Have you been to taco bell? You can get a well over 2000 calorie meal for like $15

This is why we need UBI stat if we want to reverse this trend. People everywhere are being backed into corners by the unaffordability of everything and their desperation is being exploited by places like Taco Bell, Dollar General, Walmart, Amazon and is effectively forcing people to panhandle and do crime. By having the leeway to look past how the heck you’re going to feed and take care of yourself and people close to you, it opens up opportunities that the middle class takes for granted and things that weren’t even a question to the upper and elite classes.

100% this. Lots of people don’t have options.

The problem then becomes a lack of shelter, in addition to quality clothing and quality food.
