Luci@lemmy.ca 5 months agoBut they are happy to eat at Burger King. The food is good enough for them, but the people making the food aren’t.
I mean, I don’t think it’s too much of the people’s fault that greedy corporate burger chains exist and obliterate local competition.
$6.50 for a shitty “meal”
Or
$18.99 for a “handmade” burger and some fries with a small coke.
At this point we all agree that McDonald’s doesn’t have some secret ingredient that makes people love it. It’s the only thing to enjoy and you’ll like it.
Went to Burger King recently. About $18 for the burger, fries, and medium drink.
Maaaaaaaan.
I don’t know what we’re waiting for. Who the fuck are we waiting on? A YouTube video essay? Some podcast rant?
It’s apparent that not even legal confirmation on how the world is owned by the few was enough.
No single politician can change a system where everyone is financially inclined to fuck over everyone else.
Why are faceless corporations running our cities and towns? Why are we okay with it?
More importantly why aren’t we enraged that they stole our future from us?
Learn to build, DIY everything, make everything, reject capitalism hole-cloth. Build things for your friends in exchange for goods and services. Exchange labor. Shop at farm stands, and spend on only essentials and the tools for creation. Play an instrument. Go for walks.
Learning to reject capitalism starts small.
I think a lot of people are very much pissed about their situations, but also mislead and/or ignorant about what the problems actually are, how solutions can be enacted, and both who can lead and who to blame. There’s also burnout. I think most people are just trying to make sure they can get to work, see their family, raise their kids, etc. The system works to grind us down so we don’t put up a fight, and the system is working well.
£35 for delivery burgers and fries for three people, it came cold and they didnt deliver the drinks we ordered
No one is happy to eat Burger King.
Then don’t. Not even once more.
Corporations listen to one thing.
I don’t.
That’s what you would think, right? But it turns out…
But they treat you like a king…
They aren’t using happy to mean enjoyment. They meant that the hypocrites will deign to eat at BK, but don’t think the workers deserve a living wage, much less a thriving wage.
Ew, who would want to eat at Burger King 🤢
The trick, you see, is to not think about it, and avoid anything that makes you think about it. For most people that achieves all personal objectives.

And raising his wage wouldn’t raise the price of burgers.

European countries have shown that is false
