    Having a Québécois convenience store company try to take over a Japenese convenience store company, who recently took over an American convenience store company just feels like the crazy future capitalism presented us but never fulfilled. Instead, we’re usually just dealing with late-stage capitalism.

      There’s really no reason for these two major convenience chains to merge. It’s just like the b.s. with Albertsons and Kroger.

        Reminds me of White Hen convenience stores - 7-Eleven bought them out and then shut down all of the stores. Didn’t replace them with more stores, just left the whole area, full on Cartman “fuck you guys I’m going home” mode.

        In monopoly, do you trade your houses for hotels, or is one house enough? You’ve got to build to wield power.
