I haven’t been to McDonald’s in a few years but I stopped into one for breakfast on a recent road trip and discovered that a single hash brown is now $2.50 plus tax!
Realistically, a hash brown probably should cost that much when you consider the number of people involved in creating, transporting, and serving it to you but I don’t think we’re seeing wages support that.
This is illustrative of why I have no faith in Israel to actually behave as a liberal democracy the way its allies pretend it is.
It’s not just that they temporarily have a far-right administration as part of some cycle between liberalism and conservativism, the population itself is overwhelmingly far right and supports apartheid. The only thing that upsets them about what’s happening in Gaza is that the Israeli government clearly doesn’t care about getting the hostages back. The wholesale slaughter of innocent people does not bother most Israelis in the least, many of them see it as a positive.
There is no internal opposition to the far right in Israel, and the country should be geopolitically categorized the same as we categorize Russia, China or any other hardcore authoritarian state. It’s not a democracy.

As far as I can tell the whole appeal of McDonald’s is bland but edible food, quickly, at a low price.
Over the years, they’ve switched to what appears to be a prepare by order method so it’s no longer quick (it used to be on the little racks behind them, all pre-made), and it’s no longer cheap (especially if you get delivery and therefore immediately send half your dinner money to a Silicon Valley billionaire). It’s not quite Burger King levels of pricing, but it’s getting close.
The only thing they’ve got left is bland but edible, and that’s only desirable if you’re feeding a bunch of picky children.
There are so many better places to eat, and they don’t cost an enormous amount more.
I don’t think the production method has changed, I worked there a decade ago and it seems to be the same, essentially precook the meat and assemble to order. However, I think they no longer pay employees enough to care about speed. They don’t pay more now than when I worked there. In fact, I moved to a state where they pay LESS. Why the hell would anyone working there bust their ass to get food out quickly? You get what you pay for.
They used to have it so those racks behind the counter were stuffed with already made standard prep burgers, and if you just wanted that you’d get one pulled off the shelf and be served in seconds.
You only had prep-to-order if you wanted the change the default configuration, no lettuce, no mayo, etc.
It’s definitely a lot slower. I remember working there and at lunchtime they’d be working the grills 24 down - basically double the usual capacity and that stuff was wrapped and put into the racks constantly. They’d try and make burgers to meet demand with a holding time by which the burger should be sold by or thrown into a red bin. Usually it worked fine and waste was minimal but I assume some beancounter thinks that system and red bin waste costs McDonalds more money than it does to waste 5-10 minutes of somebody’s lunch break. If people get pissed off by the wait though they might consider going somewhere else - after all, if they’re going to wait, why not in a place where something more substantial than a burger is being prepared.
Or even a more substantial burger. I just learned that the standard McDonald’s burger patty is 45 grams (that’s 1.6 oz or approximately 1 medium celery stalk in freedom units). 45 grams! Only the quarter pounder has the 4 oz (113g for the rest of us or the weight of two large eggs for the Americans) patty.
This is all the pre-cooked weight. If your average patty loses 25% of its weight during cooking, that 45g patty becomes about 34g. WTF.
If memory serves, I believe GOP Senator Susan Collins was the one who exercised great skill in brow furrowing - and nothing further - when expressing disapproval over felon Drink Bleach’s reckless behavior.

“Russia might continue interfering in international politics while supporting a Russian asset they’ve interfered with international politics before to support”
I know things like this should be pointed out at ANY AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY, because apparently people have short attention spans… But holy shit reading stuff like this just makes me think the average person is so out of touch with reality that they literally need daily reminders that one of the shittiest people they know is still shitty.
The only people who don’t think Russia has something on Trump that makes him an asset that they can use to destabilize politics in a rival country at any and every opportunity, are people somehow ignorant of the last decade of history, useful idiots, and people being paid to think that.
Putin is trying to fuck the West, anyone with more than 3 functioning neurons can see this plain truth. He’s trying to reverse the outcome of the Cold War, with dissolution of NATO and renovation of the Soviet Union (for starters). And idiot republican traitors are enabling it. Idiot right wingers in Europe, too. Fucking morons.
Spoiler alert: he also fire bombed those Paris train stations for the purpose of demonstrating to the russian people that the West is no better than russia.
One correction would be claiming that “Putin is trying to fuck the West”. It buys into the propaganda that Russia isn’t really a “western” nation.
They have an odd bit of propaganda that Russians are “Eurasians”, which is just a way they validate and distinguish their history of colonialism from the rest of Europe.
In reality they’ve always treated their Asian minority population as second class citizens, utilizing them primarily as cannon fodder to expand their colonial holdings.
