Great.

I fucking hate this place.

Our greed knows no bounds.
- Mezcal is so good though :(
  
  Who gives a shit if its good...sorry I'm on the same vibe as OP in that our greed has to ruin literally everything because people can't just control themselves for a second and think big picture.
  
  Look into Bozal. My husband says they replant and other good stuff. Too lazy to look it up right now
  
  How dare you enjoy something!
