that’s what fucking taxes are for, and Mr. Beast needs to be taxed until his fucking channel is gone.
Why until his channel is gone? If he’s a business, we need to tax him and his business appropriately. More, sure. But taxing a business until it’s gone is counterproductive, even if you don’t like what the business stands for…

Yeah “Mr Beast Burger” is a great example of this. He hired a company known for shitty “virtual” restaurants (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Dining_Concepts) to slap his name on a ton of franchises to capitalize on his YouTube popularity and get kids to beg their parents to eat there
And now they’re both suing each other

They both deserve each other

I don’t even mind the concept of a ghost kitchen, if you don’t want to manage a front of house, fuck it, do pickup and delivery only like so many pizza places do, that’s fine, but just like everything else it gets labor exploited to benefit the owner class by running a dozen “restaurants” out of the same kitchen

There are no “rate limiters” in these kinds of kitchens, either. You can literally have 100 people all order over the internet within 10 seconds of each other, and now all of them expect their orders to be ready in a timely manner. Not fucking happening, you know?
Internet ordering is fucking ruining restaurants and overworking everyone in them.

Online ordering needs a wait time system if the kitchen is too busy, just like waiting for a table.

Oh yeah I don’t mind the concept, I mind this company specifically, it’s pretty clear their whole schpiel is to take some celebrity name and slap it on some shitty food to drive out based sales

People who quickly turn to lawsuits care about one thing only: money.
