Yes, the idea of the death of God also gives me shivers.

By "we" I will understand that you mean Africans. Otherwise, you might be committing one (1) colonialism.

So, ask the rest of Africa how that has gone for them.

How will they stop local competitors exactly? Will they send goons to trash the place?

That is only true if the chains are better than the local restaurants. Which, admittedly, is true far too many times. So maybe those local restaurants should improve or close. I'm not here to give handouts, and neither are the users of those apps. Cook food that is better than the slop that the chains serve, which is a tremendously low bar to clear, or close shop.

Your gratuitous use of the word "violence" doesn't help your argument the way you think it does.

I reject the entirety of your comment but this point struck me:

It also destroys every restaurant's natural advantage of closeness - if you run a pizzeria and your food is not horrible, you can naturally expect people from about 2 city blocks over to eat there - now, they're competing with every pizzeria in the city.

How is this a bad thing? You want businesses to compete, both in quality and price.

I’m not even American.

Those lists are a joke. They show how much the priorities of the government align with those of the newspaper they are printed on.

Who sees Spain as a modern democracy? Only those who benefit from the rampant clientelism.

One of the reasons the best time to make sure every first-world country is self reliant was yesterday; the second best time is today.
