Watch what McDonald's does

If you are looking for an economic indicator. Right now they're floating 5 dollar deals that they have to be losing money on.

I don't ever eat there but I always take note of their pricing. It's a pretty good measuring stick for disposable income levels.

$10 worth of toxins reduced to $5 worth of toxins equals the same amount of toxins.

/---/ After 50 years of abstinence from fast food burgers, I took my grandkids recently. They love the chicken McNuggets and fries. I tried a small burger and found it bland. I recall that they were better back in the 1960s, or maybe as a teen, I didn't know what a hamburger should taste like. Then I moved to NY and discovered diner and pub burgers. WOW.

What do you eat?

I live in the country, so we eat a lot of farm-fresh stuff from gardens, as well as fresh brown eggs we get from the Amish or friends who have chickens. There's also wide game. Deer, squirrels, wild turkey..

I dehydrated ten pounds of golden oyster mushrooms this Summer. They grow wild all over my property in the Spring and early Summer.

Sure thing.

But I hope you don't mind that I smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and drink like a fish.

2nd hand smoke is such an old school social taboo

Nobody cares now

And as long as your buying drink as much as you want

/——/ McDonald’s is paying $15 an hour. A pub and diner don’t because the servers work on tips plus a small salary. In addition, the alcohol in pubs has a high profit margin so they lower the burger price and offer better quality.
The highest profit margin at McD’s are the soft drinks and fries, both at 90%, but they are relatively low dollar price points.
