    When did McDonalds get so expensive?

    After a long drive I was hungry and nothing in my area was still open via drive-thru, so I went to McDonalds.
    Got a burger, fry, drink: $10.51....wtf?

    For what you get that is ridiculous. Do people eat there all the time? They must be losing business; I thought fast food was cheap?

    Who cares, why eat there.

    Looks like you've figured it out yourself, ain't hard to find cheaper nicer food than shithouse mcdonalds. You're giving your money to someone that actually wants and maybe needs it also, fuk those chain stores.

    Well... we are late in this business cycle and it is likely that whoever is in office will have to deal with a recession in their first term.

    I was just gonna mess with the guy that told everybody to buy a growth stock with a P/E of 45 for guaranteed earnings in the midst of a recession.

Has never acted this way in the 6 years or so I've been following him on Twitter.

    Likely nothing, but who the hell knows. Just thought I'd post this up. On a McDonalds thread of all things.

    Why eat at McDonald's? Lots of places who make better foot with better ingredients. All the junk you eat now to save $2 will pay back for health care on medication and surgeries to fix your heart.

    their food tastes like it was made in a Lab. The fries taste so good you can't make those at home but what stops me from eating them is thy don't break down. They just turn to rock.

    How many chemicals are in those fries that they don't mold and turn to dust?

    The chemicals are the best part. That is why I make it a habit to eat there at least twice a day.

    Same thing happening in Canada.

    I warned of higher prices and an increase in unemployment 2 years ago prior to the minimum wage hike and I got flamed by financially illiterate liberals. Now those same folks are bellyaching about higher prices and higher unemployment. Some people are just too dumb to vote.
