business chains and restaurants should have like a 100 mile radius where they're allowed to build as many as they'd like, but they can't get a permit to go any further (hexbear.net)

the homogenization of the US by these chain companies is disgusting. they show up like parasites to any town once they reach some arbitrary population density and suck up business that should be going to locally owned operations. completely destroys the culture. 90% of american towns are just a strip of gas stations and the same fast food chains

hyper local chains are still kinda cool though. shit that only exists around cities and their burbs. still has local flavor and culture, so they get a pass thus the 100 mile radius limit.

Idk if this is the case. Maybe in the more lmayo and suburban areas, but regional cuisines still exist, especially where there is a healthy population of non-Anglo descended people. Louisiana comes to mind, not to mention native American cuisines as examples.
