    “All the people’s money is stolen to fund their endless wars! They are stolen so much that 18% of their populations remains houseless! The rest are price gouged most of their income! They’re dictators also price gouge healthcare! 45,000 are killed every year because they have nothing else to life gouge so lose their lives! They also have forced slave labor in their prisons! They overcharge people suspected of committing a crime so they scare them into plea bargaining and expand their amount of slaves! 1.2 million slaves!

      But this isn’t a joke, this is just how that country is set up.

        “set up” implies intention, but there is none, this is simply the way things happen. just like water will flow downhill, never uphill.

          No, the US is intentionally this bad. It’s purposefully set up this way because it serves the interests of the bourgeois. They’re not stupid. They’re capitalists. This is capitalism.

      The McRib is garbage. It’s literally minced meat molded into the shape of a rib drenched in sauce. It’s soooo badddddd.

    It’s theorized that that the McRib is only available when prices for pork are predicted to go down.

    I don’t know too much about it and I don’t remember where I heard this information.

        Artisanal burgers are much tastier than McDonald’s. In fact, it’s not hard for a real burger to be tastier than a McDonald’s one, at least in my country (I’m not sure if McDonald’s quality is the same in all countries). Here, McDonald’s isn’t very good, and even so it’s quite expensive. Even the most affordable option on the menu is pricey, and it barely has anything inside. Not to mention that these fast food burgers are tiny.

        Hambúrgueres artesanais são muito mais gostosos que McDonald’s. Na verdade não é difícil um hambúrguer de verdade ser mais gostoso que um McDonald’s, pelo menos no meu país (não tenho certeza se a qualidade do McDonald’s é a mesma em todos os países). Aqui McDonald’s não é muito bom e ainda é bem caro; a opção mais acessível do menu já é cara, e não têm quase nada dentro. Sem falar que esses hambúrgueres de fast food são bem pequenos.

          Idk I think I’m an awful cook personally because I cannot for the life of me cook a burger better than fast food. It’s always too burnt, too dry in the middle, too pink in the middle for my taste, or just not seasoned enough or too much. I absolutely have no sense when it comes to cooking, I buy some stuff (I weep because of how much I’m spending) then I prep it incorrectly, pop it in the grill or oven, wait way too long and finally I’m ready to eat something that I despise. Its not one of those “oh I’m so clumsy, how about someone else cooks instead?” Because I genuinely ENJOY cooking about 2-3 times a week but the meals I make are either pre-made (aka you couldn’t fuck it up if you tried) or I make it myself and it’s an abomination of what the original recipe calls for. I keep at it tho because I like the process, but my cooking is horrendous.

            Y’know vegan burgers are way easier to cook and taste great. I’ve come to love black bean burgers, but if you want the taste of meat try a beyond burger.

              I’d be more than willing to try. I mean at this point I think it can’t get worse than what I usually cook, and I like beans a lot, not to turn you into an advertisement or anything but do u have a recommend brand?

                Morning Star Farms has a lot of meat alternatives including black bean burgers, but you could also make your own. Beyond and Impossible (the one at Burger King) are the brands with creepily realistic stuff.

          I wonder if this is a geographical thing- as an European, fast food is way too pricey to eat when money is tight. For the price of a single McDonald’s meal I could make a whole bunch of different cheap shitty meals at home and in way greater quantities

            That’s definitely true in the states too.

            I’m guessing us US people either are more treat addicted, have less skill at cooking, have less free time to cook or are more likely in “food deserts.”

              I’m talking real basic here- cheapest pasta and cheapest spaghetti sauce you can find combined with a can of tuna for a very spartan meal. All you need to do is boil water and heat up the tomato sauce

              Also, wait- I thought you guys could get Quarter Pounders for 50 cents or something. What’s the point of all the wars then ooooooooooooooh

                That’s a good question.

                Cheap pound of pasta+jar of tomato sauce+can of tuna is around $4 or $5 which is about 2000 calories.

                Cheap cheese burger is around $2 which is about 400 calories

                Yep, no more dollar menu. If that doesn’t demonstrate a decline Idk what will, like I’m not joking, the average American is pissed about it. Obviously not enough to do anything about it but McD and BK raising prices has (some) people more pissed than Tax hikes

                  Same thing in Finland. The “coin menu” where you could get a cheeseburger for 1 euro and a double cheeseburger for 2 euros was a huge institution for years and years. First they raised the prices to 1,20 and 2,20 but during these recent price hikes I’m pretty sure it’s like 2+ euros for a regular cheeseburger and 3+ euros for a double cheeseburger. The triple cheeseburger, a semi-frequent menu item used to be priced consistently with the other two cheeseburgers at 3 euros, now it’s like 5 michael-laugh

          Every time I head stateside, I eat (albeit incredibly tasty) burgers as the only affordable thing on the menu until my cash gets so low I switch to Macdonald’s. Tragic. Honestly no idea how most USians afford to eat. Who tf pays $30+ for a bowl of pasta? (That’s usually the next cheapest thing on the menu.) Maybe it’s different across states? Maybe USians don’t tip? It would be more affordable if I wasn’t including the tip. Haven’t visited since I stopped eating meat so no idea what I’d do for food there now.

            Nah, most people tip. You are seen as rude for not tipping most of the time. But there are more and more places requesting tips, so not everyone tips all the time, depends on the restaurant

        Nah, the ingredients in a McDonald’s burger are almost tasteless, it’s mostly the sauce that people really like.

        Imagine the same burger but with fresh tasty ingredients, that would be glorious.
