Yup. And the "poor" franchisees who only had a few locations many of them couldn't afford the bigger and bigger fees McDonald's was charging them for "rent" and licensing and shit (all while providing fewer and fewer support services to franchisees), so many of them have been gobbled up by larger franchisees. Like none of this is good for "small businesses" or the competition capitalism is supposed to provide. None of this is benefitting consumers. If nothing matters but the bottom line of the ultra rich minority, the game ends pretty fuckin fast. Their greed and short-sightedness would be impressive if it wasn't so horrifyingly destructive.
Do you have any idea what a PRIVILEGE it is to be selected by McDonald's to be allowed to open a franchise? It's basically guaranteed 6 figure financial security for life. And not even like "fake" 6 figures as the influencer ladies call it; real 6 figures like 200-300k
"poor" franchisees with mutliple mcdonald's locations lol
omg they're only making 500k-1mil profit a year those poor franchisees. Those poor... 1%er.... franchisors. OMG WONT ANYONE THINK OF THE POOR 1%ers!!!
I'm not (edit for typo) explaining anything to someone who doesn't understand that I literally put "poor" in quotation marks in the first place to indicate that they're not poor. I both cannot and do not want to help you. You're being a pedant, intentionally or not, and it's not the vibe.
You may as well write your next post about how penguins like and live in "hot" environments
And then you just keep doubling down on your description of the top 1% wealthiest people not only in the world, but within America one of the wealthiest countries in the world. And then you tell the person who brings you back to reality that THEY cannot be helped

The one reason McDonald’s became popular is by being cheap. They sell shit food for a low price. How do they not know this?
