    According to @astros123 this is the most successful Reb Lobster has ever been..... Never has a Red Lobster made so much money, that they are closing stores is just right wing propaganda.

    Lol, who cares about Red Lobster? Chain restaurants close down all the time and does it not matter to you that the food sucks?

    It didn’t suddenly close because of popularity
    It was always popular
    It was the high costs of doing business

    That unlimited shrimp deal will make them the most valuable company ever. Biden forced the Chinese and Vietnamese to lower their profits on shrimp. You have to be an idiot if you didn't see this coming and didn't invest in red lobster. I've made millions and I'm about to leave the US.

    I invested in Biden's shrimp deal and it made me very wealthy. People are so useless and stupid, how is it that other's don't see how rich Biden can make them? Red Lobster is thriving, Trump is on tape saying he wants to sell Red Lobster to The Saudis, what a way to ruin the U.S economy.

    Everyone just wants burritos and fried chicken sandwiches. No one can just be content with shrimp and lobster.

    full disclosure the last time I was at red lobster was in 2017 and before that the 90s. I have never met a person who was like “hey let’s go to red lobster”.

    now the Olive Garden is a different story. My kids would eat there every day if they could.

    You don’t eat there but lots of people do thanks to the unlimited shrimp

    however due to inflation and high costs they are losing money

    Negative margins

    especially with fat people going there

    Bidenomics has enabled
    • both Apple (in 2023) and Microsoft (in 2024) to surpass the $3 trillion valuation mark, the only public companies to reach that milestone.
    • NVIDIA to leapfrog Saudi Aramco to become the 3rd most valuable company in the world, behind only Apple and Microsoft

    competent companies will continue to prosper; poorly-run companies .
    will die off

    So in order for companies to have a success they have to be colossal industry standard giants that have more money then some major countries gdp? This is what you tell smaller companies? Be like Microsoft and Apple so you can succeed in Joe Biden's America? Be so insanely rich and powerful with innovations that control a large portion of people's everyday life by monopolizing the phone and computer industry, that's who continues to gain wealth?

    @Ubiquitin
    As confirmed
    The success of the unlimited shrimp destroyed them because the cost of shrimp got so high under Biden’s economy that they lost more money when people ate more shrimp

    it’s like your margin is -$1 on each shrimp
    So if you sell 10 million shrimp
    It’s -$10million as a lost

    math

    I get it that some people if they eat seafood, their throat swells and the paramedics have to come

    this is not for them, it's for the rest of Americans who love seafood that's cheaper than Landry's

    Red Lobster isn't losing money because of the customers, it's because of the costs
