"we raised the cost of our hasbrown from 50 cents to 3 dollars and now no one's buying them!"

i hate these pieces of shit so much. all this economic turmoil is literally an illusion. rich pigs got too greedy, raised everything too much to the point that no one can afford it, and now they can't admit that so they have to act like "the economy" is some vengeful god lashing out rather than a completely fake and predictable product of their own making

this bourgeois pig needs a bullet for breakfast. fuck these scum. i'm heated just reading the headline of this dumb ass article

let's see a chart of the prices of various mcdonalds items over the past 5-10 years. fast food inflation has gotten totally out of control. not that anyone should be eating that slop anyways

No wage 😤 just consoom

Lmao remember how they called it The Great Recession despite it actually being a economic depression not a recession but because we have a rational economic system if they called it a depression the economy would probably panic and collapse. Very rational. Adults at the helm etc etc. Very cool to have a system where you can’t talk about the problems.

They are so afraid of some cascading failure stemming from them saying aloud deeply magical words that they cannot speak them. The hallowed list of such terms now includes the fucking Burger Index. They have to obfuscate the motherfucking Burger Index with this breakfast bullshit. I’m actually starting to lose it here.

That damn economy. Making me price people out of breakfast. I hate it, but what can you do?

i admit that i used to hit the mcdonalds for breakfast when i was hungover as fuck on weekends. this was back before prices went haywire and i could give them $7 for like a bag full of pancakes, eggs, meat, biscuits, and a giant ass caffeinated drink. i would come home and add some of my own, more quality ingredients, like cheese, maple syrup, butter, and some condiments i like to jazz it up.

there was one like 30 seconds from my house, so it was a sweatpants, hoodie, shades ordeal, get home and then set up my little feast and watch some garbage while i eat some garbage on the couch. it would sit in my stomach like a bag of greasy concrete, warming as it hardens, and i would nap the day away.

when they took away the cheap way to compile that sort of order and doubled the price unless i wanted a McD's brand low-jack installed on my phone where i had to gamify figuring out a cheap food order with the 10% of executive function i operate in hangover status, i just figured out how to do some shit at home with some preparation. like oven tots and other frozen shit, because who cares. i also kind of quit drinking then, which cascaded into me making better food decisions, generally.

mcdonalds and the others that hiked prices on fast food literally did it to themselves. they had an easy mode fucking cash cow and they slayed it. #DemandDestruction

those poor bastard consumers that only consume everything can't even do that properly!

I skip their breakfast because BDS. I fucking love their muffins so this is hard for me.

No biggie.

Trump will issue a fast food ~~execute~~ executive order saying "Citizens in public must eat breakfast at fast food restaurants or face punishment. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Edit

Interesting typo. Part of it is that my insomnia returned with a vengeance. But also - I can't stop thinking that soon Trump's goons will murder people in the street in broad daylight.

getting breakfast at mcdonalds isn't a something people made up to mock americans? it's something they do, in such great quantities that its an economic indicator?

I wonder if it's because you can get better food cheaper literally anywhere else.

Pretty crazy non of the business geniuses at the largest restaurant chain in the world couldn't figure that out.

McD brekky is just incredibly mid, at least in Poland

i will die not seeing these people get what they deserve. Sucks
