I mean I understand, but honestly I think if they can't survive in the area they should just close shop.

Understood, but the point I'm trying to make is that these franchisees are small businesses. They can't access the billion dollar capital that McDonald's corporate has.

You have to treat franchisees as small businesses, because besides the name, they pretty much are.

That might be true, but people have to stop working there as employee demand dictates pay rates. Everyone saw this during the pandemic. Short supply of workers lead to an immediate raise in pay.

You also have to remember McDonald's is a franchise business and the owner might not be taking in millions, as McDonald's has been known to mistreat franchisees from lower income neighborhoods.

😲Oh no, coprate social media is imploding..........anyways.😃

This saga won't be over till Boomers are out political post on both sides. Boomer generation are known not to negotiate on any issue, even of it benefits them

Lol, they think we can't see throught their "we need to destroy [insert any privacy right] to save the children" bullshit. Never mind the fact it was never about saving kids in the first place.

We're like that toxic abusive couple that everyone hates, but we stay together because we have really good economic sex.🤷🏾‍♂️

Lol 😆

Not me fam, the less I have to do, the better. Amazon shipments literally save me 2-3 hours a week from not having to go to the store.

Prime membership ftw!!!!

Yup, you're right...

A small house for 74,000? Lol, you'd need at least double that in the Northeast part of America.

in before, "but I need my enormous vehicle because once every 13 years I haul 3 2x4's and am too dumb to use a roof rack or rent a truck for the day!"

I win!!!

My enormous eletric vehicle (plug-in Rav4) is powered from my home solar panel system, and I use it to transport my dogs to the park a couple of times a week.

I'm completely guilt free!!!!😃

That didn't stop people before cars. Back then people built small railways if we are talking about construction.

We wouldn't be having this conversation if it weren't for vehicles like mine keeping up the internet infrastructure up.

There's also no fucking way you going to put train tracks everywhere to keep up infrastructure. That sounds really fucking stupid

They need specialized equipment. They need heavy equipment.

This statement makes me feel like I'm responding to a 14 yr old with no life experience. Not even going to bother answering it.

A car is a car. Another motor doesn't turn car into magic.

Electric vehicles have no emissions so there's no reason people can't use them specifically for work.

PS: You can respond but I'm not going to bother with you. There's no point in having a discussion with someone with illrational and militant about their ideals
