Temporarily closing & zero new investment.

I just ate two of their crispy beef tacos for lunch today. And Diet Pepsi.
I thought drinking Pepsi was now OK. Little did I know I was eating Putin tacos.

I love TB's tacos.

I ain't gonna take this sitting down!

Well, maybe I'll have to.

Still, this stinks!

Edit: damnit, wasted all my poop jokes. I guess Taco Bell had the moral fiber to do the right thing

It's not an NYSE company, I think. But I assume Lindell is trying to pry every last devaluated ruble from a populace apparently even more gullible than Americans.

The other companies I don't buy anything from either. That's the beauty of being a frugal minimalist.

Considering the first order of battle is to not become what you are fighting. I’m not keen on starving any babushkas.

The real question is if any of this can get through without any of the major containerized shipping going.
