I like $1 hash browns

Is that in Australia?

Wow

McDonald's has some fucking nerve charging that much for that bullshit oval. That's about the same price you'd pay at Burger King for a large size of the bites. Oh, actually, looking it up I'm seeing 2.49 from March 2024. McDonald's thinks far too highly of their food.

No it's current pricing.

He was literally on the picket line, the first POTUS to ever do so, with the striking UAW. He constantly supported them and Shawn Fain constantly talks up Biden & his support, especially in comparison to Trump, for workers and unions. He also didn't end the Teamsters strike. I believe he also didn't intervene with the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Yeah, Biden performed terribly with the railway strike, and while I disagree with what he did there was definitely a ton of economic harm that would have came to the nation as a result.

Then as a consequence of ending the strike, mandate higher pay and less hours. Economy saved, strikers get what they want, corporations are punished for being evil, etc. Biden did what he did because hes right-wing trash

If he was right-wing trash then I wouldn't have counter examples. Trump's support of unions, IE talking to non-unionized workers, would be other examples.

Sorry, 3 examples to your 1 is greater. In any other context you'd accept that. Right-wingers also wouldn't be cancelling student loan debt.

Like I said, he handled that particular case horribly, your narrative is just not a correct one.

His continued support of Israel outweighs any claim anyone can come up with to portray him as not right-wing.

Rika used to post right wing pro-life/anti-abortion rhetoric and whine about "sjws" all the time, so them calling somebody "right wing trash" is hysterical

Not to forget their argument of "Gay men shouldn't be allowed to give blood because they are statistically more likely to have HIV"

People really need to learn how to cook.

Don't come at me when I have receipts, bro.

1) I support abortion and its entirely the mothers decision. I would be hopeful they discuss with the father but in the end it is her decision and hers alone.

2) troll topic

3) taking something out of context. People who are gay should be allowed to donate blood if they dont have stds etc. but the reason they typically arent allowed is because of statistics.

again, get fucked. You are posting in bad faith

also youre a 2010 user with no karma. Wonder why that is

Are you sure you want to go this route when that entire topic is you spewing right-wing anti-abortion rhetoric? Do you really want me to start posting your posts from that topic?

Actually wait lmao I just noticed your following defenses were "that was out of context honest" and "I was just trolling bro"

I don't even think I need to say anything more

Are you implying people are incapable of changing opinions over time? I mean, maybe you are

what I said above is my beliefs. Whatever I said nearly a decade ago is irrelevant

whos alt are you btw? is that you Dawkins or xsquadder? Finally out of prison?

So now we've moved goalposts from "I never said this, you're lying" to "Okay but I changed my beliefs"

Which is it, exactly?

Also there's something hilarious about a 10 year old alt missing half of its karma trying to worry about somebody else being an alt when they're being called out for their blatant ass past right wing trolling

Nice deflection, bro

Yeah, interesting that the person accusing another of "derailing the topic" was the one who brought up Joe Biden for no reason at all other than to shit on him.

The latter half of this topic only exists because of their post.

Striking due to low pay is a relevant point to this topic. If thats a derail, then whatever, sorry. Its weird to dig up stuff from a decade ago to try and say its relevant today

You don't even have to know how to cook. You can get a pack of frozen hash browns for like five bucks. Air fryers are also super cheap now and cook hash browns from frozen relatively quickly, unlike heating up an oven, especially a full size one.

Fast food has always been convenience vs everything else about the food, and this is what convenience costs these days.

You're the one that said you never said it and said I was trolling. I simply provided proof. Sorry for proving what I said right when you challenged me on it, I guess? It's not my fault you troll and forget the things you troll about.

mmm hash browns

It's not. This is a thread about how expensive McD's hashbrowns have become. In fact, they justify these increased prices with an increase in wages. Most McD's in my city start people at 14/15hr when it used to be $10 before so many of them started the wage increases post-COVID, so your comment about low wages is just you desperately grasping at straws.

You wanted to make this political by shitting on Biden and it's blown up in your face. This all happened because of your initial post wanting to take the thread this direction.

First post is about the federal minimum wage being abysmally low which is relevant when striking. A federal minimum wage is also inherently political. I know you want to try and shift blame, what you are saying doesnt actually make sense though

This is true, I only said anything because I found it funny that a user with a right wing post history was calling somebody "right wing trash" or whatever

Speaking of I'm still waiting on whether it's "I never said it, you're a lying troll," or "Okay I said it but my values have changed." I'd honestly be willing to consider the latter if they'd actually bother to commit to one or the other, but they can't seem to stop insisting I'm a "derailing troll"

btw I didn't even get into their cop simping topics designed entirely to troll yet

Imagine thinking corporations being punished for being evil and workers getting what they deserve will ever happen under any US president. Its just not compatible with the nations core values.

Daily reminder that Trumble is a bad faith poster who supports white supremacist political parties in New Zealand like ACT. And don't come at me with "muh muh muh ACT isn't white supremacists, they just don't like taxes and bureaucracy." They LITERALLY want to overturn the Treaty of Waitangi because guess what they are white supremacists.

Yeah, those medical policies can be summarised as that. Thanks

you are paying too much for your hashbrowns

In a way, I appreciate the price gouging because it's helped push me towards eating a little healthier, as I used to sometimes grab a quick meal from places like McDonald's or Taco Bell as a treat, but now I can't justify the price for something that doesn't even really taste that great or leave me feeling good. I can probably count the number of times I've gotten fast food so far this year on one hand.

Nah, you just throw rationality out the window when it comes to the subject.

In the same way it's illogical to base voting patterns off a single issue, it's illogical to try and using a single issue you particularly care about to determine where someone lands on the political spectrum.

That's not how it works, you take everything into account or at least multiple factors. You don't hyper fixate on the one particular issue you biasedly care about. That's just nonsensical.

I can get a breakfast sandwich more filling at Panera at that price.

Just learned about the $18.00 Big mac meal in Connecticut. At that price why even bother with a fast food.

so basically $2 in 2008 dollars
