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.

One Republican specifically. President Trump was instrumental in forcibly shutting down most of the small businesses in America as part of the pandemic response.
