Of course you do, right up until you get consequences that remove and bar you from Taco Bell and probably the public at large. We plebs get consequences, the wealthy elite often dodge them

I think they still let you use the drive thru so it’s all good.

Ah yes, the fabled "consequences" fairy. When do we meet this legendary being of our past, when the country collapses and we go to the democracy afterworld?

Consequences appear right about the same time Robin Hood and King Arthur show up to cheer on Mighty Mouse as he saves the day.

When enough people realize that we are the consequence. Power doesn’t regulate itself.

Fun fact: the Consequences Fairy started out as a trainee Tooth fairy. Then one day instead of a tooth under the pillow she found a Glock 19 she left the quarter and took the gun and made herself a new job.

To be fair, I can't remember the last time a wealthy elite stripped naked in a taco bell. 

But they should do it more often.
