      Even I have coupons, I throw them away and not going in at all. I would go to Costco and buy those super tasty grass fed roast beef and eat right out of the box. It’s freaking $11.5 per pound, but I definitely saving money comparing to junk meals from McDonald.

      That's by design and is one of the major steps leading to the coming Conservative Revolution against Liberal Marxists.
      It's part of the Hegelian Dialectic process of "Problem, Reaction, Solution".
      Problem:
      Communism and Religion
      Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”
      Liberals are destroying the country economically, socially, academically and politically as they push more and more Marxist ideologies. Not only that, but morality has also seen a sharp decline thanks to "progressive" Liberals promoting immorality such as homosexuality, transgenderism and abortion.
      Reaction: We need to turn things back around and Make America Great Again. We need a leader, and laws, to prevent things from getting worse and restore the nation back to its former glory.
      Solution: A revolutionary change of power, a draining of the swamp in which Liberals are removed from positions of power, authority and influence, replaced with Conservatives.
      Step three of the Four Steps for Ideological Subversion (Yuri Bezmenov, Former KGB Propaganda Agent, 1985)
      Crisis-This is a major step lasting up to six weeks and involves a revolutionary change of power. This is where a cataclysmic event (false flag event, civil war, invasion) upsets and divides the country thereby creating panic among the citizens.
      To Americans, symptoms would include circumventing the Constitution (re: Use "privately owned" social media sites to restrict free speech/First Amendment rights) and altering the checks and balances of government, and possible martial law.
      Creation of economic, financial and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and a breakdown of previously self-evident restrictions on moral behavior.
      The Cloward-Piven approach is used to create more takers than producers (which is why Liberals promote open borders and lax immigration policies).
      The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver things to meet people's needs through “hope and change” (ie: Hitler’s rise to power amidst a disenfranchised German population reeling from the effects of WW1) through social and economic justice. False illusion that the situation is under control if strategic directions are followed-Bailouts, regulations of industry and so forth.
      A Controlled Opposition is a protest movement that is actually being led by government agents. Nearly all governments in history have employed this technique to trick and subdue their adversaries, notably Vladimir Lenin who said, "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."
      If you want to control (and then defeat) Liberals, you lead them yourselves.
      So the pendulum swings, now violently, now slowly; and every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.
      William Ralph Inge
      "Democracy and the Future" The Atlantic Monthly (March 1922)
      The current perception would be that government, corporations, academia and MSM are part of the atheistic, Liberal Marxist institution.
      Who would be their most hated rivals?
      What is the “7 Mountains Mandate” (Dominionism/Dominion Theology)? Supposedly there are 7 “mountains” of global society-Arts and Entertainment, Education, Economy, Family, Government and Military, Media and Religion. (Note: The US voting machines are called “Dominion”.) According to this false teaching, by conquering these 7 “mountains”, the Kingdom of God will be established.
      Answer to the last question: Ultra-Orthodox Religious Conservative Fascists are the most hated rivals of atheistic, Liberal Marxists.
      You are going to see many, many churches claim that if we remove Liberals and "turn the nation back to God" we will be a prosperous nation once again. However, as good as that may sound, the way they are going to go about it is non in accordance with the will of God. Instead of preaching the Gospel of faith in Jesus, they will say we need to be like ancient Israel and follow religious laws.
      You need to look up US Public Law One Zero Two dash One Four and the "Seven Laws of Noah". What is coming to the United States in the very near future will make the Austrian painter seem tame in comparison.

    This video doesn't go further enough to explain the high costs. They need to investigate what goes into making those foods and then try to find the outlier that is causing the prices to increase so much. That last comment about a $20 an hr wage increase in California should not even be mentioned because those employees say their hours were cut to make up the wage difference and it is only happening in one state.

    Use the app. Don't pay 5.99 for a cruchwrap when you can get the box deal for 5.99 that contains a cruchwrap, a 5 layer burrito, chips and nacho sauce, and a fountain drink or iced coffee. Don't order burgers and fries off the menu when you can use the app and get 2 large burgers for $5 and then place a second order to get large fries for $1.

    • @homerthompson416

      Not sure if that McDonalds app strategy works because they place a 15 minute timer in between using offers on the app. Though you can still do the B1G1 deal on burgers by doing the survey on your receipt and there's no problem combining that with the $1 large fries in the app on one order.

      To Americans, symptoms would include circumventing the Constitution (re: Use "privately owned" social media sites to restrict free speech/First Amendment rights) and altering the checks and balances of government, and possible martial law.
      Creation of economic, financial and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and a breakdown of previously self-evident restrictions on moral behavior.
      The Cloward-Piven approach is used to create more takers than producers (which is why Liberals promote open borders and lax immigration policies).
      The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver things to meet people's needs through “hope and change” (ie: Hitler’s rise to power amidst a disenfranchised German population reeling from the effects of WW1) through social and economic justice. False illusion that the situation is under control if strategic directions are followed-Bailouts, regulations of industry and so forth.
      A Controlled Opposition is a protest movement that is actually being led by government agents. Nearly all governments in history have employed this technique to trick and subdue their adversaries, notably Vladimir Lenin who said, "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."
      If you want to control (and then defeat) Liberals, you lead them yourselves.
      So the pendulum swings, now violently, now slowly; and every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.
      William Ralph Inge
      "Democracy and the Future" The Atlantic Monthly (March 1922)
      The current perception would be that government, corporations, academia and MSM are part of the atheistic, Liberal Marxist institution.
      Who would be their most hated rivals?
      What is the “7 Mountains Mandate” (Dominionism/Dominion Theology)? Supposedly there are 7 “mountains” of global society-Arts and Entertainment, Education, Economy, Family, Government and Military, Media and Religion. (Note: The US voting machines are called “Dominion”.) According to this false teaching, by conquering these 7 “mountains”, the Kingdom of God will be established.
      Answer to the last question: Ultra-Orthodox Religious Conservative Fascists are the most hated rivals of atheistic, Liberal Marxists.
      You are going to see many, many churches claim that if we remove Liberals and "turn the nation back to God" we will be a prosperous nation once again. However, as good as that may sound, the way they are going to go about it is non in accordance with the will of God. Instead of preaching the Gospel of faith in Jesus, they will say we need to be like ancient Israel and follow religious laws.
      You need to look up US Public Law One Zero Two dash One Four and the "Seven Laws of Noah". What is coming to the United States in the very near future will make the Austrian painter seem tame in comparison.

      3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
      4 Behold, the hire (wages) of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
      5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

      Way back when I took economics in high school, to be profitable your food/packaging costs have to less than 30% of your sales to turn a profit. The building and wages come after that. If food costs are up, the amount you have to charge for your product go up.

    These corporations as well as their stockholders will need to accept a lower return on investment. The motto has always been maximum return vs a reasonable return. If they don't scale their ambition, they are destined to fail. The food is of marginal quality and people are better off packing a lunch.

    We go and get take out from a sit down real estaurant instead of fast food restaurants as a treat... the food is garbage at drive thru's... food is disgusting. Go to a real restaurant, pick it up yourself. No drinks need to be ordered that way and you don't have the tip issue. Still even with that we only eat out like that one time a month. I remember before covid we would go sit down at a restaurant every other week. Times have changed especially for families with kids. You see all the really obese little ones running around and you wonder if they will have a heart attack by the time they hit their late teens. Maybe this will be forcing parent's to choose better will help the over all health of children.
