YOu have to make $100K to afford McDonalds

[Crepitus]

If you are poor or even middle class you likely cannot afford to eat out, even at fast food places.

This is what trump is doing to our economy.

This has been happening for a long time. Only thing Trump is doing is to continue making it all worse.

When I retired in 2020 you could get two sausage mcmuffins and a large diet coke for $3.00.

Now it's between $5 and $6. It didn't just happen the last couple months.

Are you suggesting McDonalds imports their beef from CHina?

 

[Manonthestreet]

Can't remember last time I had Mickie D's.
We still spring infrequently for White Castle.

YOu know that inflation works on the whole economy.

Clown OP doesn't even know that we are still under Biden's economy.

So the good credit for a healthy outcome goes to Biden. Someone wake him and let him know.

How it Started... How it's Going: Fast-food prices soar under Biden

Fast-food prices have dramatically increased in the last five years, rising even faster than inflation and the wages of most employees at popular American restaurants.

McDonald’s insane new prices chart supersized toll of Bidenomics

McDonald’s price increase — $18 for a Big Mac value meal combo — are yet more evidence that the president’s economic policies hurt average Americans.

YOu know that inflation works on the whole economy.

Gas prices are down, so are eggs. This in addition to McDonalds getting the best prices due to their purchasing power.

If McDondalds can ask for those prices and receive, then they will. They've been doing this since covid, it's been a racket and consumers have to stop supporting those who exploit them.

I can just hear it now.

"Me no like Trump." Me blow you short time.

I'd love to see workers at mcdonalds making $40 per hour. That would make people's heads explode. "Oh my its so bad burger flippers are getting paid that" and other nonsense. Of course it can't happen but I'd just love to see the shock value.

Actually, during times of economic downturn, like the pending recession, McDonald's fares pretty well. During the Great Recession, their stock didn't even take a hit.

People turn to cheap food when times are rough.

Your link mentions declining traffic at Taco Bell, too. Come on. A taco costs, what, $1.79?

There's more at play here than income. I would not rush to make a correlation/causation mistake.

Deny those places workers and things get better.

The thing is, cheap food is no longer cheap.

Your link says sales dropped off in the first quarter of this year. It's quite a stretch to put that on Trump.

"Liberation Day" was April 2, after the first quarter.

I don't think people were making taco purchase decisions based on whatever Trump was doing at the time.

 

[g5000]

The thing is, cheap food is no longer cheap.

That would be due to inflation during the Biden era.

Again, you can't really put that on Trump, except as an indirect cause of that inflation.

 

[g5000]

California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington all have a $15 or higher minimum wage.

Washington has the highest minimum wage at $16.66.

That's going to drive up fast food costs.
