Fuck this genocidal disinfo.
Imperial news is a mouthpiece for imperial capitalism.
TheStreet reported that Medium French Fries went from $1.79 in 2019 to $4.19 in 2024, a 134.1 percent increase. A McChicken went from $1.29 to $3.89, a 201.6 percent hike.
The price of the beloved Big Mac increased 87.7 percent, from $3.99 to $7.49. An order of 10 McNuggets rose by 68.8 percent, from $4.49 to $7.58. Of the five popular products examined, cheeseburgers saw the largest price increase—going from $1 to $3.15, a 215 percent spike.
These increases exceed the general average for inflation calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which shows that prices went up by about 21.5 percent between the end of 2019 and March 2024.
For at least since the pandemic I can get a better burger and fries from an actual restaurant, with probably three or four different places to choose from, for less. McDonald’s is good in a particular way, but the two main things they had going for them were convenience and cost. With cost blown away the convenience isn’t really enough to carry the day a lot of the time, even when I’m in a rush.
And they did it them fucking selves.
Yup, they totally kept jacking prices up to get as much as they can from the consumer.
McDonald’s execs are not featured in this video but you can bet they were not sitting idly by when others were getting “as much as the consumer can absorb” read: keep increasing prices until sales increases stall.
Nope, just no, screw them.
Yeah, not that I used to eat fast food a lot but with prices as high as they’ve gotten I just can’t justify it. It’s garbage food that’s more expensive than sit-down options. Everyone has a phone, so with 10 minutes of pre planning you can order from anywhere and not have to sit there and wait which makes McDonald’s lose ground in convenience too.
Pricing is about the only place McDonald’s could win, but they’re too greedy and we all know it.
It all depends where you live, but I can go to a proper sit-down restaurant, one of the cheaper ones, but still a sit-down restaurant that actually cooks real food, and spend as much or less than I would at McDonald’s.
I can even get a pint of beer with a sit down meal for not far off the cost of McDonalds.
fuck the shitty us empire.
we are right in not wanting to be bullied by that shitty country anymore.
I think you’re wrong.
There is no ‘anti-American sentiment’ only an anti-Trump sentiment.
After he’s gone our European ‘leaders’ will be happy little vasals and bootlickers again.I dunno about that. This status quo was created because America came out of WWII smelling like roses. All of Europe was rebuilding and so American prosperity of the time was basically like being the one only slightly scorched house on a bombed block. It’s been long enough that the countries in question aren’t in need of leaning on the one stable currency.
This could be the push needed to equalize the world stage and break off of old habits. Like take Canada for example. Food self sufficiency in Canada was always a concern. That’s why there was a tarriff on US Dairy, because Canada wanted to retain domestic self sufficiency in one of it’s food production spheres. That issue persisted through other sectors but there wasn’t a strong political motive to make that shift. The government wasn’t called to protect and incentivize strong domestic production to a great extent because the US generally has a better growing year in the south. To not have food security however is a weakness in Canadian’s self determination if things go bad. Now that things have gone bad structure will be put in place and protected meaning a semi-permanent loss of market for American interests.
What Trump has proven is American volitillity in it’s government structure and voting block and nobody will want to tie a shoddy investment around their ankles. In fact some might take it as the opportunity to cut loose a problematic ally.
There is no anti-american sentiment, just an overwhelming pro-genocide sentiment within empire.
I stopped going there ever since they cause the capture of Luigi.
I realized how far they go for anything.
I stopped when it became obvious they were price gouging their customers. None of their food is worth the price and it hasn’t been for probably close to a decade.
I stopped when they were proudly supporting zionazi scum
As a Canadian in Japan, McDonald’s is one brand I had a difficult time saying goodbye to after your Shit president threatened our sovereignty, because I genuinely used to have a good experience everytime I went. Clean store, polite staff, decently cheap food, and cool collabs with Japanese IP like Pokemon and Mario.
I’m sad my kids don’t get to enjoy a treat there every now and then, but fuck the USA right now and anybody who supports the shitty administration.
Yeah if you’re cool with torturing and murdering animals, supporting genocide, destroying the planet… McD’s is pretty sweet! Especially for the kids!
As an American, yeah I agree with you, fuck the USA
Why would you subject yourself to living in Japan as a Canadian with kids though?
Because I have Japanese heritage and it’s awesome here. Wtf kind of question is that?
Every Japanese I have met in Canada (mostly in Toronto and Montreal), that had young children, say that it’s very unwelcoming in Japan. And if you or your children are mixed, you face racism too. Again anecdotal, the number of these people I have talked to was only three, but they all had the same opinion. This included a couple that went back to try again a second time but then ended up in Montreal again.
I haven’t been to McGenocide in a long while
Use the Spell Card “Monster Reborn” to ressurect the fucking Dollar Menu
Have they tried SUING People who ARENT eating there?
That, maybe. But hear me out:
A Double Quarter Pounder meal is now roughly $11-12 dollars. They don’t put the prices on the menu half the time, and the people in the drive-through never give you the price. They just say “pull around.”
Maybe don’t run a shitty business that’s overpriced.
A couple of weeks ago I was moving to a new house. I woke up early to move a load of things, and on the way was a McDonald’s. I stopped in because it was convenient and got an Egg McMuffin with a hash brown and an OJ. It was $9. $9!
You can’t charge outrageous prices and then go, “Man, why aren’t people showing up?”
I can get a burger and fries from several local shops for less than McDonalds. The quality is better and there is more food in the bag.
Good
Tariffs make baby Ronald cry.
It’s nice to hear some good news.
“Consumers today are grappling with uncertainty,” McDonald’s Chairman and CEO Chris Kempczinski said.
“Grappling with uncertainty.” Predictably a writhing scumbag running this gross American company. What we’re forced to deal with, is the extremely blatant certainty of the fascist rapist Chris here probably voted for, being a repugnant disaster. Fuck you, Chris.
I want to ask him if that’s how he talks at home.
“Consumers today are grappling with uncertainty,”
such a eerily polite way to say that the country is going to shit.
Uncertainty they endorsed by having the rapist chomo do a photo op in their restaurants
After McDonald’s dumbass trump stunt during the election, the only reason that I’ll ever go there again is to take a dump in their bathroom on a road trip.
I missed it, what’d they do during the election?
There was talk about how Camilla was a McDonalds worker when she was young, compared to nepo asshole Drumph who never worked a day in his life. So he organized a photo shoot at a local McD’s with him wearing an apron and looking confused. The closed the McD’s for the occasion and only invited magats to use the drive through.
Trump was doing a McDonalds drive thru gig or something, idk was weird and dumb
Incoming White House briefing calling McDonald’s commie traitors
