McDonald's and other big brands warn that low-income consumers are starting to crack

Some of America’s best-known corporations are saying their consumers are being pinched by inflation as prices continue rising.

Maybe fast food places shouldn't have tripled their prices in five years. People didn't eat at your burger joint because it's good. They ate there because it was cheap. You ruined that, and now your bottom line is suffering. Consequences.

I can't afford a big mac or crack.

No body wants to pay 18 for fast food when they can go to a restaurant and spend that much.

[auminer]

sorry fast foods...you priced yourself outta my budget...

[nickinurse]

We're tired of price gouging. We CAN fight back by NOT spending. It's a great time to quit Amazon & invest instead.

Maybe, just maybe those CEOs should take a bit of a paycut. How many boats, planes and mistresses do they need??

[jamaicanbobsledder]

Invest in local business and eat healthier

[jamespainter]

[TucoJames]

I do not buy any of these big corporations products none zero, I don’t eat out anymore, n I do not buy any of their products n my life is better for it

Infinite growth is not possible...the economy is more of an S curve that hit a plateau. Capitalism needs to create economies that are regenerative that benefit the populous even in times of degrowth.

On the bright side I started a diet, which is OMAD since I am retired and dobt work. 16 ounces of hamburger/sausage mixed 4 to 1 3-4 eggs and three slices homemade Bread.

So far, weight is slowly coming off, 2 lbs a week.

It's not inflation ots Corporate profiteering off of the consumers

[jimgeo]

It’s less about inflation, more about $MCD insane price increases

[nvgztjk]

Shouldn't be eating McDonald's anyway...that stuff is trash

[lismariesweetie]

😂 well what did they think was going to happen when the price of everything keeps going up but nobodies paycheck is getting better

[charlieb]

In other words “for the people who have it the worst, it’s getting worse. That’s only bad news because we hit the maximum we could participate in making it worse”

Or in wall street terms: sell MCD, buy WMT
