When people had nothing to do other than sit at home and buy shit, and workers were sparse, prices shot up and never really corrected because... Well, why the fuck should they? People keep buying. Let's shoot that shit to the moon. We basically got catapulted in to the worst part of capitalism by COVID, and no one really cares to stand up and do shit about it other than whine and continue buying.

Now one McDouble (the downgraded double cheeseburger) and a large fry are almost $7. Oh well, it's probably better that I'm eating less fast food anyway. To be fair the app cuts 30 percent off every order over 3 bucks.

emblem-man 05/15/24 3:23:30 PM #48:	I've honestly always viewed eating out, fast food or sit down, as a luxury item/experience. This is especially true with things like doordash. It hurts me whenever my wife wants to go out to eat somewhere, because I can't help but think about how it's never worth the cost, and I've felt that way for many years. So this pain people feel about food prices is something I guess I've always just felt and internalized. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate <cite>emblem-man posted [p:980407814] in visual of ...
