After the LA Riots in the early 90's, your company felt it was important for
the community to recover, so you put a team together and rebuilt a Taco Bell
that was torched back from the ground up in three days. You got lots of free
TV coverage, just one of those warm and fuzzy situations.

Fast forward to 2005. The Waveland, Mississippi Taco Bell was heavily
damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Seven months later, the Taco Bell
looks like it did on August 29, 2005. You can't spare a crew for three
days to open your stinking place back up and give some people a place
to work?

So do I understand it correctly, you simply don't give a **** about Mississippi
and our recovery from natural disaster, and only about southern California and
their recovery from man-made chaos?

NOLA victims don't have the warm and fuzzy appeal of chic SoCal rioters.

I don't know if Taco Bell's are all corporate owned or if some are franchised. If the latter, that could explain it. I know that a lot of the stores in the area have not rebuilt, they are waiting for insurance checks to allow them rebuild.

Taco Bell is from SoCal, it would make more sense to have a greater community prescence in the place that they originated. Or they could be just like me and not care about Mississippi, either.

Oh, I don't eat their crap, I just wanna know where the corporations
support for the community is.

Taco Bell succs. If you're lucky a Taco Bueno will be built on that site and you can get some real fake Tex-Mex.

Fixed.

Say what you want about Taco Hell, but you can feast for under $5.

I don't call it "feasting" if it doesn't stay around long enough to digest. You can feast at Taco Beuno for under five bucks, too.

Once you see them pour the pre-cooked meat out of the bag and its
juices at Taco Bell, you really don't care to eat there any more.

I don't call it "feasting" if it's one bean burrito.

To me, any amount of digested food is prefereble to any amount of undigested food. If your digestive tract is more resistant to the "meat" and "cheese" at Taco Bell, than more power to you.
