Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize? - eviltoast

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.

    This is by far the biggest problem - most people don’t put up with that shit and will publicly murder a company that tries it on.

    It’s just this one country, you know, the one with the guns, that rolls over to get their bellies scratched when the billionaires come knocking

      The billionaires are just like us folks, they drive honda civics and sleep in 50k tiny homes next to their rockets.
