The feds investigated McDonalds’ broken ice cream machines; but we’re told not to complain about Arizona’s broken voting machines

Even the mainstream media admits there were “widespread glitches” with Arizona voting machines on Election Day this year. But for some reason official don’t seem concerned.

How different from reports last year that the Federal Trade Commission was investigating McDonalds over breakdowns in ice cream machines.

See, for example, this NPR article: “Feds Are Reportedly Looking Into Why McDonald's Ice-Cream Machines Are Always Busted”. https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033715465/mcdonalds-ice-cream-machines-mcflurries-ftc-investigation

Double-scoop standard, anyone?

You must be a racist, sexist, homophobic, election denier with questions like that.

[political1]

I don’t know if there is anything that can be done after the fact. It needs to be stopped before hand.

[newzjunkey]

You get into the problem where it’s moot because nothing happened yet and then it’s moot because the election is over. Ridiculous. There’s no accountability.

This is exactly what a

Fake Government

does...

[pepsionice]

I wouldn’t call it a investigation. FTC simply asked McDonalds for some information, and it seems voluntary for McDonalds to provide ‘anything’.

It is obvious that the McFlurry machine is fragile and has to be cleaned in a certain manner, or it fails. You have various McDonalds that seem to never have a system failure with it, and it’s probably due to one particular employee who is passionate about its operation.

The more people dig into the voting problems, with issues leading to computerized voting...it would end up as a fed ‘thing’, and the fed wanting total control over election days. This is the least desirable solution to the problem.

[NeverCheney]

All I’m doing is pointing out the double standard by media and government at all levels. There’s outrage about ice cream machines, but nobody cares if voting machines aren’t working.

The problem is that someone up in corp made a bad deal with Taylor who has exclusive repair contract on an overly technical machine. Other fast food operations use Taylor machines without the problems. It’s not that the machines are fragile it’s that they require very specific operations at very specific times and the MickeyD’s employees and lower management are either not trained well(a given) or pushed to complete too many tasks in the time allotted(also a given).

Ray Kroc would have never given Taylor such a contract. The McFlurry fiasco is emblematic of the depths McDonald's has fallen to.

[KTM rider]

any attempt to restore constitutional order would have to begin with eliminating the FBI and "Justice" Dept, otherwise the voting system will never be restored

then take back the system of information

then the education system

and next on the list would be dismantling the Medical Industrial Complex before it gets any worse

come to think of it, thats a lot to do, maybe easier to just pray for a nuclear holocaust and start over

Couple of years ago, I asked a duty manager at McDonalds how his McFlurry machine ran, and he was all positive...no breakdowns. I asked him...how is this possible, and his response...he had one single employee (older guy) who was mechanically-minded and the chief guy to tend to the machine. He thought Corporate went with the best pick for the recipe, and it led to this one machine.

I’m not a big McFlurry fan (maybe four times a year I might include it). Some folks are obsessive about it. But in southern climates...there’s probably well over 1,000 of them sold per day at a shop.

[Chickensoup]

There is no such thing as voluntary re FBI.

Of course this is non of the FBI’s business.

The US is a kleptocracy. Prove me wrong.

The US is a kleptocracy of plutocrats.

Prove me wrong.

There was one McDonald’s I always used to visit that always had a “broken” orange juice machine. One time they told me they were “waiting for parts” which never seemed to arrive.

This particular McD’s had so many complaints about service and cleanliness, during an extended summer trip we took, we returned to find the entire place gone, bulldozed to the ground. There was no trace a restaurant had ever been there.

OMG!!!

[MayflowerMadam]

It’s actually a kakistocracy — “government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.”

I’ve repaired those machines; our school system has one in every cafeteria. Just reassemble it correctly after cleaning and there will be no problems, just malts for everyone...
