Fast food corp would like you to believe they had no idea treating their workers like livestock would be a bad idea in the long run and they're asking customers to shell out for improved treatment of these staff so the execs and investors don't have to suffer needlessly.

Are we playing the same game? Full of snotty squeakers and Xbone chucklefucks? Hell, the "cheat" coding community is largely fueled by the desire to avoid other players in order to make it "kinda fun" at all. 🤪

The original issue stems from an agricultural conmerce point, however, as the definitions dictated vastly different tariff rates, etc. In short, vegetables were often staples, and fruits were seen as luxuries.

How apropos that steampunk is what you get when you slap half-cocked period fashion on highschool theater tier drama and handwave science (ie. physics, economics, politics, ecology, etc.) to cobble together tired tropes for semi-literate self-styled "outcasts"... Basically Twilight for LARPers. 🤷🏼♂️
edit: I see steampunk cringe doesn't hinder the ability to silently downvote. Cute.
