Democrats are justifying that you all can afford it because they've increased your wages.. So shut up and sit down, you will like it!! ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ What in the world are these people smoking? And the scary part is there are people who are voting for Joe Biden, who approve of all this nonsense. As far as the New York post article; Low-income customers making less than $45,000 per year have largely stopped ordering from McDonaldโ€™s, the fast-food giantโ€™s chief executive Chris Kempczinski admitted Monday on an earnings call with Wall Street analysts. A Big Mac, fries and drink has risen to nearly $18 at a handful of locations while hash browns are up to $6. And itโ€™s driven away customers fed up with inflation. Including $19 for a Quarter Pounder meal and $17 for two cheeseburgers, has raised questions about the sustainability of such pricing in the industry...... what average families who are barely getting by will be able to afford this?

Filed under no shit Sherlock. That is how inflation works. The only way prices go back down is a severe recession or depression. Corporate overloads won't give up extra profits just for the shits and giggles.

ย 

Other than that the article is full of shit. The local McDonalds' in my area send you coupons via their app every day.ย  A Big Mac, Quarter Pounder or any of their premium sandwiches with medium fries and drink are $6 plus tax.

ย 

But David I am glad you joined me in my quest for a higher minimum wage and ways to keep big corporations from raping people in pursuit of outrageous profits.

ย  You are the one full of shit. Whenever minimun wages are raised for jobs that don't qualify as a "living wage" everything price wise goes up to pay for these unwarranted wage increases - and jobs are lost because business owners cannot absorb the loss of revenue earmarked for these wage increases. Thisย  results in inflation - but you are too ignorant to see the whole picture - as I said, you are full of shit.

Millerscum is a first-class idiot.

ย 

No, scratch that. Fourth-class idiot.

ย 

There is no three-year period since the Great Depression when consumer prices have not gone up. So, bitching and moaning about prices "before Biden" is a special kind of stupid.

ย 

Or maybe Millerscum WANTS another Great Depression? Makes sense, actually--that's pretty much what got Hitler elected, and that's the message his discount knockoff Hitler hero is selling.


Oh, and Millerscum's stupid thread title--Yellen didn't "admit" jack shit. There has been no time in post-Depression history when the prices of consumer goods "returned" to what they had been three years previously. Any statement that they would not do so was merely stating the obvious for the benefit of the really, really STOOPID.

ย 

Like Millerscum.

ย 

Oh and BTW if they DID "return," that would be massive deflation--which only occurs during economic depressions and would be a total disaster for the economy.

ย 

Stupid Davey-poo.*

๐Ÿ˜† You are an idiot. You complain about people not being able to afford stuff but you don't want to raise wages. The only other way to stop price increases is to institute some kind of price controls.ย  I congradulate you on going full commie.

ย  ย  ย  ย You get dumber everyday. I never complained about people not being able to afford stuff - that is your line of stupidity. Wages should be raised based upon what one brings to a job - not because you are unskilled and know nothing about what you are hired to do. The more you know, the more you are able to do should be the criteria for getting a raise. I congradulate you for being a moron.

The concept of minimum wage is that a person working, in any capacity, skilled or unskilled, deserves to be paid a certain minimum amount. In many states, those amounts haven't been adjusted for inflation in almost thirty years. Neither has the federal minimum wageย 

ย 

Millerscum thinks that people can survive on $7.25 an hour. That kind of idiocy is breathtakingย 

David, did you refund the treasury for the deadbeat, loser welfare checks you got during COVID?ย  because you cantย  embrace those deadbeat, loser welfare checks while simultaneously complaining about the inflation they may have caused.ย  ย  ย That would make you a hypocrite in addition to being a deadbeat, welfare loser.

ย 

Just trying to help your reputation.
