This woman is so infinitely likable ... I just don’t get the haters.
That's a pretty savvy take.
We have been taught by the elite to view anything affordable with disdain and problematic when the underclass make it popular. This sandwich is yet another symbol of the small pleasures we seek that become an albatross when we are openly shamed for obtaining them.
Eh, they are trying pretty desperately not to lose that money, which kind of makes them China’s stooge. They stand to lose a lot of money, but it’s not like they *need* that money. They could afford to take a principled stand and absorb the losses.
