minus-squareDr. MooselinkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoThis focus is kinda weird ngl. Why is fast food entertainment being protected and promoted? Let the market crush this shit - we don’t need more McDonald’s garbage in this world.

minus-square@foggy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•9 months agoYou and I have very different definitions on what it means to let the market do it’s thing, I think. You aware how heavily subsidized beef is, for McDonald’s sake?

minus-square@treefrog@lemm.eelinkfedilink6•9 months agoI don’t think your post makes sense. Fast food is being targeted for not paying their workers a living wage. This is the opposite of protection and promotion. The government is stepping in because the ‘free market’ hasn’t corrected this and won’t correct it. Am I misunderstanding where you’re coming from?

Specifically for McDonald’s?
