Individually-shrinkwrapped potatoes are why we must destroy capitalism

This axiom is the basis for the entire marketing and advertising industry.

Thatā€™s all Iā€™m going to say. Iā€™m not going to spell this one out for you. Wait for it to sink in. It should feel tingly.

On steak. Always steak.

Bearnaise on anything!
A lump of coal.
Scrambled tofu with hash browns.
Cold wine-poached fish from yesterday.
Asian pear slices.
Radishes (raw).
Stale baguette slices.
I used to be able to take home whatever was left at the end of the service night because it loses its charm when reheated. Working in restaurants during my college years had its benefits.

I remember my boss (head chef) at the restaurant in St. Louis stirring that copper bowl with a whip for a hella long time. He was very old school. The tarragon was usually from a St. Louis garden in University City.

Youā€™re reading it backwards. If no one likes shrink-wraped potatoes, it will disappear and whoever made it will lose money. If people do want somethingā€¦ like say bars without smoking, then there is a market gap that someone could fill and make money; and that is what the best response would be rather than run to papa government and ask them to murder our freedom to own a bar that allows smoking. If there is something you want, and others want, youā€™ve found a way to succeed in capitalismā€¦ unless you are wrong about others wanting it, in which case youā€™ve found a way to fail. That is why you listen to peopleā€™s wallets, not their lying mouths.
