    Maybe in the future, there won't be any more businesses in California, and everyone can be given a slice of bread, a can of bugs, and a bucket of reclaimed water.

      ​@@guybeingaguy Does this mean you think the founders of McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King, and countless other businesses are still running them? Founders retire all the time; if the business is still profitable it'll stay open with someone else in charge. By far the most common outcome when a founder retires is they sell the place to fund their retirement.

      My sources are saying these were not restaurants but a factory making Jewish space lasers.
      Funded by Soros and directed by The Big guy, corrupt Sleepy Joe I call ‘em.
      The initial plan our sources have emails are sketchy right now.
      Looks like they are going to lock up Trump and zap him with a laser.
      This buisness owner is in on it.
      He’s not retiring he’s closing a vast right wing Jewish space laser project funded by Soros, Obama, Clinton and Andrew Jackson, Gerorge Santos, Popeye and SpongeBob.
      Retirement is what the libs want us to believe.
