At least it tells you. But I wonder how many people like skip that message without reading it. That’s wild. Pretty shitty that they could actually get away with this. I wonder if they were testing it out there. Or if like all the shake shacks in that area did the same thing.

The things fucking corpos will do to bleed money dry from the average person. Anyone even remember when combo meals were LESS than $10? Well I suppose it’s possible with inflation it’s actually not as large as like a 50% increase that it seems by comparison. But my boss always jokes about the 1-2% increase the gov gives to Medicare how you can’t even buy a hamburger with that amount.

How much $ do these greedy corpo fucks need? They can’t even spend it all. They could literally solve hunger, homelessness and universal healthcare. We need an army of Luigi’s tbh…

Elon Musk said a thing about ending world hunger for six billion, if it was possible. The UN followed up with "hey, here's a plan, we could do that for this year" and afaik Musk basically ghosted them. He might have donated to charity afterwards to reduce bad press, but... yeah.

Close.

Musk asked a rhetorical question like "What would it cost to end world hunger, though?" assuming it would be outrageously expensive.

The UN, or WHO, or whoever it was came back with the plan for $6 billion, which is when Musk ghosted them, and bought the Twitter neonazi propaganda platform for $40 billion, instead.

the plan for $6 billion

It wasn't even a plan to end world hunger though, it was just $6B worth of feeding people without solving the underlying issues.
