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?
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.

Unregulated capitalism.
I cant wait to be arrested for not noticing the napkin dispenser is empty fast enough
there wasn't even a dispenser lol felt like i was going crazy
I'm incredulous.
You're right in that taco bell wants to maximise profits, but surely the provision of napkins allows them to produce more profit.
I mean a lot of companies are doing a lot of shitty things worthy of criticism, but I don't think that this is one of them.
const_void fighting the good fight at…checks notes… lack of napkins…….
Yes... capitalism...and not consumers who just don't care.
You’re gonna get a lot of downvotes but people really are too pacified by binge watching Survivor while scrolling through TikTok. People don’t get angry about the shit that matters, not when it’s much easier to be angrier about Star Wars not being good anymore.
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.
Not even that, just a government that doesn't care.
A gov is people, if you're being ruled by your inferiors then it's time to step up and lead, but people won't. Easier to bitch. Myself included.
It's both lack of regulation and lack of consumer activism.
