THIS is what people are suing corporations over? Not climate change or wage theft?

This species is doomed.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Nothing matters to most Burgerlanders but the treats. Threaten the treats, and they'll get weird and maybe even get violent. We saw that during covid restrictions making sit-in restaurants less convenient. grill-broke

Sometimes I'm surprised very little of them are upset about climate change and capitalism because it threatens recreation.

Oceans filled with plastic? Rent and house price alike are both too expensive to live anywhere near the beach? Hiking trails become littered with plastic? Hell, walkable cities are filled with amenities giving someone a lot of ways to spend their time. Granted, I don't think neither nature nor architecture qualifies as "treats" let alone something burgerlanders care that much about.

It isn't individually owned by some petty "middle class" asshole so they don't care if it is ruined as long as they got theirs compared to the poors.

Climate change and wage theft are very hard to prove and bring consequences for by design of the system, but if your burger is too small that's pretty easy to sue over for false advertising.
