My point is that the person I was replying to was lying about the cost of the food. The original post is about the cost of fast food. I contend that as long as people treat fast food as a necessity and not a luxury (which it very much is) then the market will decide how much is too much money. Clearly people are still paying for trash food at elevated costs, then complaining about it later. I further contend that this doesn’t do shit to incentivize McDonald’s to lower their prices.
It’s a luxury to eat fast food now? Used to be that buying your kid a happy meal was a good, cheap solution to dinner, now it’s a luxury? By the way 3 $15 meals plus tax does come out to over $55, I was off by 5, sorry I offended your corporate dick sucking sensibilities
Yes, eating food cooked from a restaurant is a luxury. This concept has been lost along the way of the last couple of decades.
When I was a kid, that idea of “going out to eat” rather than having home-cooked food, was an occasional luxury instead of a regular staple of the diet. That was back in the last century.
Now we have an obesity epidemic. People need to remember that restaurant food, including fast food, is actually a luxury.
Do you have a point?

“It’s a luxury to eat fast food” yes.

Gosh, I can’t see how any of those things are connected…
Yes. Having someone prepare and bring you food, and then clean up after you is a luxury, not a right.
