“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
Hey now, it’s not all greedy corporations increasing prices to make more money. It’s also greedy corporations suppressing wages to make more money.
No wage 😤 just consoom
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
Someone at work offered me the hashbrown from their combo breakfast the other day, I ate it because I couldn’t stand seeing 4 dollars worth of fried taters thrown out. Have they always been so oily?
They have always been that oily but they definitely haven’t always been four dollars
In my local area it’s 4 dollars for a lone hashbrown, I think where my folks live it’s closer to 2 something
I just bought a pack of frozen hash browns from the grocery store and it was $4 for 10 of them. much better than mcdonalds ones and not greasy
granted I had to endure the laborious task of heating them up for 15 whole minutes in the air fryer
the frozen hashbrowns you get at kroger and walmart are, as far as i’ve heard, exactly the same supplier mcdonald’s uses. so yeah. i buy those myself and put them in the air fryer. i would say it’s on par with the mcdonald’s hashbrowns (and better due to less oil like you said) tho i do consider mcd’s hashbrowns to be nummy but not worth what they’re asking.
Yes. They are deep fried in oil.
It’s absurdly expensive for how shit it is. You can pay marginally more to get food that is way, way better.
Make sure to include wages at McDonald’s and see how little those have grown over time
That damn economy. Making me price people out of breakfast. I hate it, but what can you do?
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.

no breakfast only spend
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
If you can, get a drawer style air fryer. You basically will always have better fried potatoes of any kind at home. One batch of frozen fries or tots for two people takes about 10 minutes to cook so you can multitask a little while those are going
I gotta say I was skeptical about air fryers (“it’s just a normal oven but big, what’s the point?”) but god having one is amazing for some things, cooking frozen potato products is one of them lol
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
executeexecutive 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.
the “SUPPORT AMERICAN BUSINESSES” act. mandatory mcdonalds every morning. if you don’t eat you still have to wait in line and give them money
if you don’t eat you still have to wait in line and give them money
Ah. I should have put words like that into Trump’s mouth. Well, I can now. The press conference…
"So - you gotta get there early. Really, really early. 'Cause of you don’t - you still gotta pay. First come - first served. Right? Right. It’s capitalism. If you don’t eat you still have to wait in line and give them money. It’s the law. "
“President Trump - an executive order is not the law.”
“Before now - maybe true. But now I am the law.” He signals at his goons. "Throw that guy out. Way out. Bad reporter. Very, very bad. " The goons rush over and roughly manhandle the reporter like bouncers at a club pouncing on a violent drunk. The reporter yells has he’s removed from the room surprisingly quickly. In the meanwhile the press core is busy pretending to not really understand what’s happening. Nobody else yells out in protest or does anything - of course.
“Now. Anybody got a good question. Remember - good question. Not a bad question. Barron told me ‘Or they get the hose again.’ I don’t know what that means. But I like it. I like it a lot.”
“I have a question about tariffs. May I ask it.”
“See? Respect. You behave - no hose. Misbehave and big bad hose.”
Interesting, indeed. The typo that started the Luigi code speak of using your executive function. ie: Lend them some of your executive function, some lasting advice.
I wish I could stop thinking about Trump’s goons murdering people. But I’m convinced it’s going to happen. It’s just a matter time. Maybe as soon as this year. Plus and of course - the dem pols will soon if not instantly chaste not the murderous goons but the protestors and maybe even the victims too.
Another “of course” is that the dem’s method of protesting the massacre and “fighting” fascism will be something like: We know you risk facing violence or getting shot or even getting killed when you go to the polls. But if you vote then means more of us can get into congress and continue to not do anything. Sounds great - right?!
Ninja edit. Maybe I’m being entirely to pessimistic but I think federal forces invading Chicago could get ugly.
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?

Wait till you hear about how we index the severity of the aftermath of tropical storms.

The whole country is treatlerism to the max
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.
i will die not seeing these people get what they deserve. Sucks
