    I’m not defending Mcds , but everyone can choose to eat whatever they want. Everyone has fast food of any kind everywhere,. It’s not my place to judge whether they eat it or not. You never hung out with your friends at a fast food joint because that’s what you could all afford at the time ?

    I think the spirit of the post is that all fast food horribly shifted to being terrible in the last decade. Mcds happens to be one of the most prominent ones. KFC is cardboard now, Chinese food containers are now half of what they used to be. A Korean fried chicken place cut the wings in two and called them separate pieces, so you have two buy two now to get the same amount of chicken as before. With the smaller portion , the price has gone up 50% across the board.

    Maybe some countries have not seen their food quality and price shift so quickly, but in Corporate America, consumers are getting squeezed like never before. The dollar has lost 50% spending power everywhere in America.

    One of my favorite local takeout lobster sandwiches used to be $17 less than 10 years ago, now it’s $40, and it’s the same size as before.


  • All kids are different. We never heard that line from our kids. I think because my partner understood what they were going through, and was able to talk it through with the kid and was patient and was able to steer the emotions in the right direction. I never understood that super talent, and I’m very grateful to be with someone who just knows how to read emotions. Not sure if this helps, but KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS might be a good starting point strategy.
