By "they", you mean the ravages of time? Yeah, prices go up. It's not fucking 1998 anymore. Get over it.
That'd cost you $20 now.
>>
Makes you wonder why they haven't brought back Super Size after it basically became general knowledge what a bunch of fake bullshit that movie was, the Super size meal was innocent!
Nowadays they won't do it because it would be even more ridiculously expensive.

you allowed them to raise the wage for employees from $7.50/hr. to $15/hr.
you are to blame.
never give the bitching employees what they want.
just fire and replace them.

That was 30 years ago, either shoot up the senate or fuck off.

You damn well know "who" is to blame for inflation

minimum wage is still $7.50 where I am, a dqp meal from my local mcdonalds is $13.89

large has always been the same as super size, they just changed the name

$3.99 when i made $8/hr compared to $18 when im making $20/hr

you didn't read the full e-mail, asshat.
mcd's no longer pays min. wage, they pay $15/hr.

Thanks Joe Biden

>>21812568
I memba those prices. Now a large of that meal costs ~ 16.80 dollaridoos and minimum wage is 24.95 dollaridoos. That is 41.5 minutes of wagecuckery to be able to purchase that goyslop.

You've never heard the concept that 90% of most popular things is crap have you? Because it goes beyond pop culture, it permeates everything. Most people lack the concept of critical thinking anx will just consume whatever is familiar or will keep them in their cliques. It doesn't mean that McDicks is healthy. Most people have some form of health issue and a lot of people on the planet have fast food related health/mental health problems. Thanks to Doordash, Uber Eats, etc. many people have an addiction to food delivery apps. Long story short, I do not care what others think as most people are fucking asleep to the choices they make and how it affects their health as a whole.

you still believe the fake news movie "supersize me"? that guy was an alcoholic who kept chugging alcohol while making that movie, of cose he got sick and fat.

you must be a useless alcoholic too.

they didn't

>>21814909
Hamburger: buns full of sugar and preservatives
Fries: full of seed oils and cooked in rancid seed oils
Soda: 50+ grams of sugar

Surprisingly the healthiest thing at McD's is their ground beef cooked in its own fat, but it's surrounded by sugar and seed oils that gets changed once a week.

Morgan Spurlock is a lying piece of shit alcoholic, but you can do better than buying fast food that rivals restaurant prices nowadays.
>>
>>21814990

brah it's freak less than 5 bucks a meal in SEAsia. "real restaurant" prices in asia are more like 12 USD minimum.

you're a fucking retarded alchoholic liar.

Oh fuck off. It has nothing to do with contrarianism but you think it does because of how I phrased it. I just choose not to eat at McDonald's. The food sucks, is overpriced and has never worth it, other than getting while stoned or drunk. Seeing as I do not consume drugs and do not wish to be morbidly obese, I don't eat fast food.

I think I'm finally done with this godforsaken website. You're all a bunch of zoomer faggots

>>21815244
Yeah, you're right. Plus out of all the fast-food places, why tf would anybdy pick McD's
>>
>>21812573
Blame the fucking commie dem states for allowing retarded $15-20 minimum wage for fast food wageys to go through. That isn't even half the reason it really went up so much. It is however a very convienant scapegoat for corpos to use. It was really covid and them skyrocketing the prices due to everyone getting free gov bucks and not being allowed outside. So they could charge anything, have it delivered, and people were happy since it wasn't really their money. Coof ended but prices never went back to normal. Why would they? You paid that for 2 years they sure as shit are not lowering their profits now. The shutdown did what every industry has wet dreams of doing but are not allowed to. Collectively price gouge as a group of competitors to jack up the standard price to increase profit.

It was always trash but at least it was cheap trash. Also fast as hell. Now it is as expensive as a sit down or much nicer premium to-go food like firehouse or chipotle. It also seems to take forever and you actually need to check your bag because they are constantly fucking up the orders. The massive influx of online and doordash orders completely cocks up the whole works. They built the drive thru and lobby to accommodate exactly that many people. Now suddenly they have to prep and bag for an additional stores worth on top of that from proxy orders. The whole rotten twisted industry just needs to burn and come back in a decade or so. Serving cheap and fast edible if not desirable slop.
>>
>>21815958
No, but it was a catalyst for people waking up to what was happening, along with Fast Food Nation and Food Inc. and other kind of whistleblowing expose proects. Supersize Me was just the lowest common denominator doc that reached the most people. It had that crossover mainstream appeal that Michael Moore had. Michael Pollan and others were doing more longform dives into it.

The thing was that tons of people below the poverty line were feeding their families on it because it was so cheap, and it certainly has greatly contributed to the obesity epidemic.

But to suggest it was just that movie, no way. Spurlock's being a fraud about his drinking didn't make any of the main statement any less true. McDonalds probably pulled their Supersize option as a direct result of the title though.
>>
>>21816106
Fuck you, Cletus. You're mostly wrong.
>>
>>21816123
True.
>>
>>21816132
Oh enlighten us then faglord. Fast food prices have greatly outpaced inflation. Why?
>>
>>21816137
General greed. Don't put it on the lefties is all I'm saying. There are no politics at the 1% level. I'm saying that with the current administration as well as the last.
>>
>>21816139
We need to put aside the petty left v. right differences and topple the 1%. Figure out the social shit later.
>>
>>21816139
The dems were the ones absolutely obsessed with making sure the lock down was draconian and absolute. They effectively fought tooth and nail for years to make sure we were isolated and without options. From that practice and refusal to loosen the restrictions of the lock down the whole food delivery industry exploded. Exactly at that time all the stores inflated their prices well in excess of 30% a year. Since they knew this was peoples only option. McD's sounds good everyone once in awhile even when you can easily get it. Imagine not even having the option? Other then the handy dandy delivery dan service! Their online ordering was able to keep up when there was no one in the lobby and drive through. However now that they are both in full swing a single location simply cannot keep up.

Like I said it is plain greed but it was greed that was allowed to fester and bloom in the shadow of the left's sick demented agenda to isolate and dominate the infosphere. The huge ass minimum wage spikes are just more of this. Pining to "low skill workers" in major population centers with promises of huge payouts. Securing their votes with appeal to emotion and greed. Which the food industry conveniently used as a cop out for why they never returned prices down to what inflation would actually match. It isn't a single simple "this right here is the reason". It is cause and effect and we know who did the mother fucking causing.
>>
>>21816158
>we know

I don't agree with you on that. You're clearly very biased. I'm not rich so I'll never support the right. I'm closer to someone who'd benefit from the rise of minimum wage than someone who's upset that terrible fast food costs more to accommodate that. The dems look out more for me and want the super wealthy to pay more taxes. I guess you favor the arguments that when billionaires are more happy they're more liable to share their crumbs with us little people. Fuck the billionaires, and fuck the GOP who predominantly favor the wealthy over the poor. I'm poor. Fast food becoming a luxury item doesn't concern me because I eat healthy food. Healthy food is cheaper when you're smart. You see the causes and effects you want as someone who hates the left for a variety of reasons. There are 100 different interpretations that could end at the same outcome. We're never going to agree on any. Most people can at least admit the Republicans are the party of the fatcats but they're willing to vote for them anyway for social reform reasoning. You guys who think that GOP policies are actually better somehow in the longrun for the poor people are even dumber. And cruel the ones who just think poor people deserve to be poor and shouldn't have a bigger slice of the pie.

I really don't expect anyone to agree with me on 4chan. I'm not trying to change any minds. You guys started outnumbering me here almost ten years ago now.

Thanks, I'm going to put Canadian rapeseed oil on my salad to own the right.

>>21816203
>I'm not rich so I'll never support the right.
Yeaaaaaah so all those middle and lower class working blue collar hicks in all those fly overs are REALLY super rich in secret. That is why they vote for the right.

Dude raising the minimual wage or just artifically forcing an industry wage increase does not benefit you. It hurts you in the long run. Literally this example. Boss used to pay you $10 for your low skill labor. Gubmint now demands it be $20. Business has no option but to comply so here is what they are going to do. They are going to cut the amount of workers to the absolute barest minimum they can get away with. So what was once perhaps a leisurely paced or at least comfortable working environment is now foisting all the responsibilities a single person can physically handle at a time. You are going to be over worked, stressed, and the workplace environment will be hostile. That is if you are lucky enough not to just plain be laid off. Also this now jacks up the price for all the goods you produce. So a burger that cost $2 now is $5 because the business can blame the wage hikes and earn even more off the top with the clear overhead increase is lost in the haze. This makes these products 60% more expensive for YOU. Now imagine if every single business did this. At the same time. The price of absolutely everything goes UP. So guess what? Now that $20 isn't enough. You're living in poverty paycheck to paycheck. When you force price adjustments in the marketplace via legistrature rather then letting the free market define the cost you get a cocked up skewed fucking mess. Like what is going on precisely this moment with fast food.

Rinse and repeat. Some politician claims he will help raise your wages AGAIN! To combat this unlivable salary you are making for your low skill job. This literally happened with the $15 for fast food increase. Few years later. Now they are saying we need $20! It is happening in real time in front of your eyes.

They vote for the right because they're stupid. You think the left has terrible ideas when the right doesn't even try to do anything for us. You're stupid. Not stupid like you can't read and don't know words, but stupid in that you let your misguided beliefs cloud your views on everything, to where you'll bend logic to make it make sense that the left is the problem. You never actually defend the right or what they're doing. Because you know their ideas are even worse. You'll ignore all that. You do any mental gymnastics you need to so you can focus on the terrible left.

you can supersize all you want and still be healthy. just fucking excercise, you stupid fatass .
>>
>>21815244
>morbidly obese, I don't eat fast food.
you can be morbidly obsese with any food. being a druggie or an alcohol like that filmmaker also makes it easier to be fat. don't blame wcdonald's for your gluttony and refusal to excercise.

we eat quality aussie beef and they're still not 20 bucks a meal. you can still buy fastfood meals for less than 20 even in australia. you're a fucking moron and a liar.

The one near me closed abruptly a few months ago, thank god, it was a crime magnet. Bunch of boomers on social media crying about their nostalgia as if any of them had been there in the last 20 years. McDonalds is where panhandlers go to spend their wads of filthy $1 bills and stink up the place with their piss soaked clothes and sometimes a junkie will OD in the toilet.
