Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Uhhh, I'm not avoiding your place due to Trump. When I can go to other places and get a quality, fresh, burger with fries and a drink for the same price as your "meal", I know where I'm going.
This goes for almost all fast food these days. Prices are stupid expensive for low quality, and a lot of sit down restaurants are beating fast food prices.
Seriously, places be averaging 12-20 bucks a person and wondering why their sales suck. I can order to-go from local restaurants for that price.
Delis and pizza joints will always beat fast food in my opinion.
McDonalds have forgotten their place. We dont go there because the food is good, we go there because we were able to fill ourselves up on pocket change.
McDoubles are $3.79 where I am. The fuck is that?!?
They still sell them for the old price but only if you give them unrestricted access to your phone
This should be pricing discrimination, honestly.
McDonald's is special. They think they're equal to chick-fil-a, canes, sonic, etc... But they make cheap crap that should only compete with taco bell. I just get better fast food for the same money elsewhere.
But if you're paying McDonald's prices you're STILL paying way too much for "fast food".
Yes but that's somewhat OK. The FAST part matters some days and I'll pay for it to eat in the car.
My local gas station has better food for less. Their pork rib sandwich is $3.29 and is worlds better than the sugary slop that is the mcrib.
Yeah, the gouging has been my main reasreason for cutting back spending on food items.
In McDonald's case, I used to get stuff from there more when they had stuff that was at least trying to be healthy, like some of their salads and wraps.
Now it's $10 for a shitty 2-cheeseburger meal with shitty fries and shitty service. And they don't have much else.
