I hate to break it to ya, but Red Lobster was gutted by private finance. The lack of shrimp is a symptom of capitalism.

Under communism, we will have the Red Lobste. The mascot is a lobster but it only serves tofu
I'm telling you all, the newly redoubled aggression against Cuba is about sugarcane so that Coca-Cola can cheaply put cane sugar in their trash drink.
i doubt they're gonna start putting cane sugar in us coke again. corn lobby would tear out trump's ass on live tv. they tolerate the mexican coke thing but i think fully switching back would be a bridge too far.
Convert corn overproduction to ethanol instead, simple as.
And upset the oil lobby?
Oil companies are somewhat famously having a few problems right now continuing to supply fuel, I think they'd be okay with it.
First I'm hearing of this
RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS, BUT THAT CORN LIKKER WILL GIVE YOU FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
Sugarcane makes better booze
i doubt they’re gonna start putting cane sugar in us coke again
last july trump did actually say coca-cola would be switching to real sugar; after initially declining to confirm anything coca-cola said they would make coke with real sugar available alongside HFCS coke... which apparently happened in october in "select U.S. markets":
Coca-Cola Company's Chief Financial Officer John Murphy said during an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday, Oct. 21, that supply chain challenges are limiting the rollout.
"It’s going to be a measured roll-out,” Murphy told Bloomberg. “There is only a certain amount of cane sugar available in the United States.”
Has anyone actually seen this in person? As far as I can tell they only released it in 6 packs of 8 oz glass bottles in a few cities for a couple of months, interspersed with the HFCS ones on the shelves.
I haven't found any confirmation that anyone has seen a single one since December, either.
What if there were to be a night of long scythes and all the corn was cut down?
Marco Rubio brought one of those boards with photos pinned to them and string linking everything together to try to justify an invasion of Cuba to Trump before he realized he could just tell him that regular Coke would be more popular with cane sugar which means more diet coke for Trump.
Someone should tell Trump how much better diet coke would taste if they legalize some sweeteners that are banned pretty much only in the US.
I think that's just cyclamate.
yes that's what it says on my aldi brand cola.
You really think the US would do something like that? That would be like if they overthrew South American governments and installed puppet dictatorships all so that banana companies could sell cheap bananas back in the states!
I'll hear people talk about treats and America and I'll think, man don't have a lot but I'll sacrifice my comforts if it means a better world. Then I read shit like this and go "oh...oh right I live in a different reality then most of these people." For me a treat is like the occasional Ice cream or stuffie. Big thing is video game stuff and crafting things if I save up. Not...invading a country to get endless shrimp from red lobster back...
the best part is it wouldn't even be endless shrimp (queue that episode of the Simpsons where they sue over the all you can't eat buffet)
Red Lobster-raum
sorry hexbear, ive just realised communism means no more shrimp at red lobster, smell ya later
Its impossible to articulate how stupid the people who will decide the fates of us and all of our children are.
I feel like if someone managed to, reading it would be a stroke hazard
Red Lobster has always been one of my most hated restaurants. A tasteless person's idea of good food.
Well, the cheddar biscuits are alright..
Fair. I feel like that's also a hallmark of such places, the "actually decent appetizer", lol
That's what they do. They spend time and effort on quality appetisers so there is still something decent on the menu, because they know people won't go in just for an appetiser, they'll still order a full meal.
US continues to be a deeply unserious country
I mean let's just be honest this is a much better justification than anything we heard before.
I like shrimp, and the concept of unlimited shrimp sounds fucking nauseating.
No it's not, shrimps is fancy so if it's unlimited than were rich, ur neauseating, get off my algorthm
LITERALLY a Treatlerite 
Explaining imperialism to an American:

I'd like to think this is a gross exaggeration by the guy, but then again the Brits and the French are trading harsh words in regards to fish (with the French apparently deploying their navy?)
