This pleases me.

I hope all of these price-gouging motherfuckers see their worst sales declines since 2020. Bastards.

Fuck this genocidal disinfo.

Imperial news is a mouthpiece for imperial capitalism.

I havenโ€™t bought McDonaldโ€™s since Trump won, but I still see lineups around them.

[โ€“] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

I wouldnโ€™t buy Maccas even if they were plant-based.

America side, few working class can afford buying premade food. Preparing food at home, cooking, saves money. High odds this is working in conjunction with the buy European campaign.

They've been going downhill ever since they discontinued the McChicken Korma Naan in 1999.

I'm still going to eat burger king, it still has Belgians being employed there and our minimum wage is quite high. The food is good so I support it.

It's American owned, but the business I eat at pays Belgian taxes, Belgian wages, invested in Belgian real estate, ...

I support that.

It's not the same as importing USA goods and services produced within their country.

I highly advice you people to reconsider your purchases when it's based on buying imported goods Vs foreign owned locally produced goods/services.

It's not the same thing. We WANT foreigners to pour their capital into our areas. That's good for us. Just trust me on this one.
