They just get so many things wrong on a fundamental level but they speak with such unearned confidence, and any evidence that goes against their worldview they dismiss out of hand as the result of a sinister conspiracy.

It does suck, because we were all used to getting an underpriced meal and and it sucks giving up something we are all so used to but the solution isn't to keep a flawed restaurant business culture where most fail in the first 5 years and most can't handle being shut down for a couple of weeks.the solution is to treat dining out as more of a luxury than we were previously and adapt by cooking more and what have you.

Ah yes, nothing says making sure a ton of restaurants don't collapse into bankruptcy like jacking up their prices to the point of being a luxury and suddenly realizing people don't have the disposable income for that.
