Yeah, but shitty chain restaurant that may have had a chance to improve had it not had its organs harvested while still alive. I honestly don’t give a shit about red lobster but I hate the corporate theft that we just let happen.

Ha, my previous comment was about late stage capitalism. Great minds think alike, huh?
I’ve come to the same conclusion. I’ve been wrapped up in political bullshit for years but trying to pull myself out because in all that time, no matter who wins, shit gets worse. The system does what the system will do and right now it seems determined to self immolate.
I can’t tell you how many articles I’ve read lately that can just be summed up as “late-stage capitalism”. This is the death throes of the nation.
Oh, I know, I’m being somewhat facetious. I do have 3D printers but that’s because I’m a nerd; not like, preparing for anything..
Duh, they want to be hardcore.
Right, my fully loaded vehicle was like 43k all in when I bought it in 2016. Today, the same car with the same trim level (granted a newer model) costs over 20k more.
That’s why one of the things I bought is a 3D printer.
truth, I feel pressure to buy the things I want because I have no faith I will be able to afford them later. I figure, get it now while I can so that when I can't, I'll have it.
Thanks, I appreciate the perspective, I’m trying to pull myself out of this bullshit, never been more clear that my vote means nothing, the system does as the system does.
Not exactly reliable and less than easy rma process.
Sorry, had typed this and forgotten to hit submit :(
I mean, the article goes into how their real estate was gutted, which could have provided a safety margin for them to restructure. But again, I care nothing for red lobster, but I see the same pattern as happened with so many others. Read into Sears or Toy-R-Us for example. It’s the pattern of these parasitic private equity firms. They look for these struggling businesses that have assets they can come in to exploit, hastening the demise.
In the end it’s not so much that I care about these businesses survival as I angers me to see a few corporate fucks stripping away the value that workers had built over the years and leaving destruction in the wake.
