    Haven’t been to McD in more than 13 years (before my daughter was born), and don’t plan on coming back.

    You’re boycotting it, not for their support of Israel and the Palestinian holocaust, but for the fact that an employee ratted out a customer suspected in the based murder of a CEO?

    Buddy, if you believe the whole “random McDonalds worker saw him and reported him” story rather than the government has tools at their disposal they aren’t telling us about that allow them to track people, then you have a lot more faith in the official narrative than I do.

    McDonalds is working with german right wing parties CSU and CDU. Their leaders ate a burger there during campain and now they massivly lower tax for huge restaurants only. There are even McDonalds ads about the lower tax law and cheap food.

          Well yes, more revenue means more taxes, more taxes mean more (absolute) profit from any given tax break. That doesn’t mean small restaurants don’t benefit from it. It’s also true for any cost reduction. If electricity costs went down, McDonald’s would also profit more (in absolute numbers) than mom and pop restaurants.

    I’m not sure I buy the McDonald’s worker story, the whole narrative of the arrest seems really bizarre. (Not that I eat their shit food, one way or another.)

    McDonald’s also collaborated with Donald Trump’s staged propaganda, about a month and a half prior to Luigi getting arrested, to help get him elected for his second term. Ronald the clown begets Donald the clown.

    I boycott the Service Industry because they overwhelmingly Support right wing parties.

    I feel like im donating to fascism whenever i step a foot into a restaurant.

    Thats why i hate Tourist scum. They come here, drive our inflation because they pay the high praises, and after they are gone some of their money will go to the far right who fucks us all.

    Fuck the Service Industry. Fuck tourists
