    Are they saying that Russia has launched too many missiles or that USA has too few McDonald’s?

    “Every missile they launched is the same”.

    It’s like the Israelis claiming “Hamas launched thousands of missiles at Israel” when most of them are intercepted and the ones that get through barely cause any damage to property let alone life.

    Meanwhile, Israel is dropping 2000lbs bombs on Gaza. Entire buildings turned into rubble, massive craters.

    Okay but what if I expected there to be like 4 times as many McDonald’s in the US? That actually does recontextualize how I think about Burgerland.

        wow is that true? do people go to subway that much?

        is subway like the biggest minimum-wage employer? are subway employees the ripe vanguard of the revolution?

          The answer is basically subway takes very little space, very little staffing. Super cheap to run and setup.

    and yet, McDonald’s has killed way more people than any Russian missile. probably a single McDonald’s by itself has killed more people than half of those missiles combined.

    This reminds me of that BadEmpanada video titled something like “explaining the Iraq War for Americans” where he used burgers as a metaphor for everything the US stole from Iraq, except BadEmpanada did it as a joke.
