How come there's nothing like this in the U.S. or Canada? A private equity-backed chain buying up local pubs on stealth and wearing the skins of the dead local pubs like Buffalo Bill wearing xer victims' skins while swapping out all menu items with microwave meals that come in pouches seem more like an American idea than a European one.

lack of neighbourhood pubs in the first place?bigger houses meant that in a lot of NA men would just drink in someone's backyard or garage?NA skipped a stage and went right to having corporate restaurant chains with a bar instead
In Murrica we just call them "mergers" and "acquisitions" and pretend it's the same company even after the smaller company's product takes a dip in quality because their new masters are cheaping out
Wetherspoons is based though, as well as being the only place where you can get a draft pint for under 2 quid.
