    There’s plenty affordable fast food out there, just not at McDonalds. McDonalds and other publicly traded fast food companies have jacked up prices to pay their shareholders while simultaneously decreasing quality and service across the board. Meanwhile, I’ve got a regional burger chain near me where I can get a double cheeseburger with fries for $5 that’s way more substantial than anything McDonalds offers.

    This isn’t “a boring dystopia,” this is just people dumping McDonalds, which is a good thing.

      How is stuff getting shittier while prices go up not a boring dystopia? Like sure, publicly traded and all that, but isn’t that what we are here to comment on?

        I worked at mcdonald’s. And the guy who owns the restaurants of mcdonalds in my country likes to race his ferari down the drive through. He is an arrogant swine. Said to my restaurant manager that “if you don’t make a 30% profit, why do it at all?” In response to the jacked up prices.
