Now that fast food has become an unaffordable luxury for many Americans, what mundane goods do you think they will be priced out of next?

Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

i think Taco Bell's prices have stayed reasonable. for the price of that "quarter pounder with cheese meal" i can get like 6 bean and rice burritos at taco bell that will last you two days.

Public access to purified tap water within a few decades.

The way Trump is cutting regulations with the EPA expect public infrastructure to decline and private companies to pick up the ball. Your kids will start paying a monthly subscription to nestle so they dont remotely turn off the filtration if youre even a day late. If they dont pay theyll be drinking mexico grade tap water.

I can't believe they actually charge this much for potatoes that cost next to nothing when bought in bulk. They are charging the same as 5 Guys, while giving 1/4 (or less) the amount of potato.

>>60552292 (OP)
I remember when you could get a whole meal for $2.99

>>60552322
I was the retard and you were right.

McDonalds is so fucking iconic that they can get away with this shit. many people go there exclusively because its what they're familiar with.

>>60552355
You gotta hit the combos in the app. 2 McChickens and nuggets for $5.59 in California

>>60552292 (OP)
Mcdoubles were 2 for $2.50, and Quarter pounders were 2 for $5 in 2018. A large hot coffee was $1. McD prices are fucking insane today. Sit down restaurants are oftentimes cheaper

>>60552366
6 fucking nuggets for 6 dollars. KYS

>>60552411
>groceries are cheaper than fast food

No shit, no one's debating that

>>60552411
>>60552410
Oh yeah, 20 nuggets were $5. Pretty amazing when I was a broke college kid. And amazing $ to protein ratio. RIP

>>60552420
The original purpose of fast food is being cheap and quick. Its the complete opposite in 2025

>>60552426
If you're paying employees to prepare your food for you, it's never going to be cheaper than buying your own food in bulk and prepping it yourself.

Grim.

medium fries are literally free with any purchase on the app

mcdonalds is just surcharging the 80 IQ retards like (you) for requiring them to waste labor taking an order that should be placed on the app

>>60552596
Their deals on the app still aren't as good as regular prices were 5-10 years ago. The app did have killer deals maybe 5 years ago but that all got phased out and they're pretty weak now. Also why would I need to order on the app if I'm at the drive thru window

>>60552605
This literally isnt sustainable. Especially after needing it to be delivered a basic fucking meal is almost 30 dollars when you include tip

>>60552610
I used to get two chicken sandwiches and a large fry for $5 but then they found out I was stacking the weekly free large fry deal with the 2 for 5 promo and it was too good of a deal so they don't let you combine them.

Now I go to Wendy's and get the $5 biggie bag upgrade the fry to large for $1 and usually they're offering a free 6 piece or jr bacon or something. I just rotate whatever app has a good deal and will eat there for months on end until they cancel it.

Gee almost like hiring a private driver for your burger is kinda dumb and expensive?

>>60552610
>>60552626
I've made over $200 in one day door dashing for people who were paying something like $20 for me to pick up some half decent ribs from the other side of town.

Trump is Based by simply reclaiming the hierarchical foundation that defines "european" identity

Serfs lorded over by their rightful masters, these preceding years providing karmic preparation as the emboldened " white nationalist" proclaim the return to tradition so shall it return in fullness

The sado-masochistic erasure of the individual resulting in a prostrating gimp because peasantry is Built for The Big Black Cock since there's no freebee spots in the pimp hierarchy

I agree, landlords are the root cause of all problems.

>>60552685
It’s even harder to get affordable food in countries that banned landlords

>>60552685
No, the idiotic consumer is. Landlords have a right to grift for profit because theyre cleaning up the piss stains you left on the carpet

Soda becomes unaffordable for white trash. Then electricity and gas, so those douchebag ford truck faggots have to pay 2000 usd for a full tank and Aircon is too expensive.

LINK tokens. haha, just kidding lol

>>60552305
Yeah because the government doesn't do ANYTHING bad to you when you refuse to pay your tax subscription. Dumb motherfucker lol.

>>60552739
Fucking idiot, its just a change of hands. Would you rather get fucked by a company or fucked by the government? Cause youre gonna be fucked and it wonr be fun

>>60552314
kek.

>>60552751
Is that a serious fucking question? You're on a fucking business board asking if I would rather be able to choose between multiple corporations providing me a service vs the government doing it at gunpoint? Seriously fucking jump off the highest ledge you can find, dipshit

yeh walmart does 6 for $6.78, BRUH. fkn Know Your Self rite

Sorry i got so mad

This is you. You’re a useful retard and getting paid bottom dollar to shill for wannabe feudal lords that we spent hundreds of years dismantling.

I want to eat 4 McDoubles and 4 x fries, with a bottle of Coke and a cheesecake after...AIGMI?

>>60552305
Water supply should be privatized. Public water is poisonous slop.

a whole menu is like 12€ here in germany. for that kind of money I can literally eat at a restaurant. I complained about prices like 10 years ago when they started hiking them up but no one seemed to notice. it was over when they got rid of their 1€ burgers.

>>60552292 (OP)
I don't think there's any thing important left. Unless you count cheap Chinese slop products. They already took the important things like houses, cars, or good jobs

I remember buying 5 mcchickens. Ate one and then put the rest in my pockets to eat while watching a movie. $5.35+ticket.

>>60552292 (OP)
You just need to now only get the deals instead of everything on the menu being cheap.
I get 4 double cheese burgers and a large coke for $11.
Not amazing but it's pretty good for 4 2 pattied burgers and a drink.

But it's still slop at the end of the day.
You should either never get it or only once in a while.

How do normies afford this shit? $80 for a plate of slop.

>>60552305
No joke, I was in LA airport this morning, and there was a sign above the drinking fountains that said

Not even Orwell himself would come up with that one.

>>60552411
those taste like dogshit though, nothing beats mcdonalds nuggets

>$5.39 Quarter Pounder meal
I don't ever remember meals being that low. Though I am in Hawaii. My memory has them starting around $6-7 in the late 80s. Used to think it was crazy they cost $10 in Waikiki back then.

>>60552355
I think one aspect is that the fat slobs eating at McD don't really care about price that much. At least that's my explanation for why here a whole loaf of bread costs about the same as some small piece of patisserie.
