Smells like BS.
Not BS. The big tech companies buy a politician, write a law for them to pass, and keep at it until it makes its way to the federal level to be imposed on all of us. Look up John Deere tractor as an example.
Not BS, for decades franchisee have been screwed over by corporate cronies getting kickbacks for making sweetheart deals with Taylor who manufactures the special machines just for MickeyD’s. Ever wonder why MickeyD’s competitors soft serve machines never seem to go down even though they are also made by Taylor? I ran MickeyD’s for decades and it was beyond rare to have a shake or soft serve machine go down, back then the Taylor machines were simple and bullet proof, that’s not the case anymore, the machines are now overly complicated and prone to failure both mechanically and software wise, and when the only people who can repair it are the ones who designed it to fail they making serious cash while the franchisees and employees are taking the abuse ffrom the customers for not getting their sugar loaded frozen treat.
