    It’s not healthy, but it’s cheap: a hamburger at McDonald’s — €1.40, if I buy fries with it, €3.50.

    3.50€ for a meal isn’t cheap and nothing a poor person can afford on a regular basis. I can cook a great meal for under 2€ that doesn’t consist of trash. What a detached asshole.

      McDonald’s is not cheap food, it’s fast food. I don’t expect this cunt to know the difference.

        Same in all Europe. Not cheap for the quality. Cooking at home the same burger is cheaper with better ingredients

        Same here in Lithuania. McDonalds is way too expensive for people on a tight budget and what you get for the price is disappointing too. It’s cheaper and more delicious to make some burgers at home (which aren’t so dry that you must wash down every bite with a sip of Coke) or just to get a street kebab (which is slightly more expensive but actually fills you for the entire day and is full of meat and veggies).

      If I could afford almost 4 quid per meal I’d be laughing! Think of all the nice food I could eat!

      We grow all of our vegetables for most of the year. Potatoes, carrots, leeks, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beetroot, lots of berries for jams, etc etc. I don’t know how we’d manage without that.

      We live in the outskirts of a major city in England, not a stereotypically poor blackwater somewhere. This is how bad things are these days.

      That’s not even enough to satiate you. For that you need to buy a menu which is about 10€ here in Germany. That’s not cheap at all.

    Nobody in our country voted for that tone deaf asshole either. He was just “stepped in” as an interim after our prior catastrophe of a chancellor stepped down (Sebastian Kurz - He also made it to international media for his corruption).

    Before representing our country as chancellor, this piece of shit was minister of the interior. - while being in this position he was just as useless as now. Words cannot describe how much I loathe this guy.

      I personally couldnt care less if he was leading the party at the last elections or not. Nehammer is prime ÖVP, his politics is a perfect example of what you get when you vote for this party.

    What on earth happened to all the small businesses in my “poor” rural village? Oh right, that pedestrian unfriendly stroad next to the freeway with the Walmart and all the fast food restaurants sucking up the village’s life force happened.

    Is McDonald’s cheap anywhere other than the US? In the US, there’s a bunch of promotions that drive costs way down…

      Yeah, I always heard in my youth that McDonald’s is the poor’s restaurant (in the US at least). However it was never really the case e.g. in Hungary. It was always average priced at best. You can eat far better for far less in every moderate-sized town.

        In the US you can get a burger and fries for $2 with their in-app promotions. On a per-calorie basis, it’s actually very competitive with cooking yourself.

    I never hear anything about Austria. And when I do it is this asshole?

    I am gonna take a guess at the dude has never seen what fast food did to Americans. Because he’s as stupid as his statement.
