Nolte: Bidenflation Turned Fast Food into ‘Luxury’ for 78% of Americans
Breitbart ^ | 05/29/2024 | John Nolte

Lending Tree surveyed 2,000 American adults and found 78 percent now consider fast food a luxury.

“78% of consumers view fast food as a luxury because it’s become increasingly expensive,” reports Lending Tree. “Additionally, half of Americans say they view fast food as a luxury because they’re struggling financially”

Of those making less than $30,000 a year, 71 percent see fast food as a luxury, as do 58 percent of parents with young kids, 58 percent of those in Generation Z, and 53 percent of women.

KFC, Popeyes, and any national chain burger franchise is too expensive now.

We can eat at a regular sit-down restaurant with tablecloths for what they charges now......................

I’m not eating fast food any more anyway. We might be taking a long drive this summer and I have to figure out how to eat. Breakfast and supper will be easy but lunch is a problem.

I hear presstitutes lament on the air regularly that though the rate of inflation is coming down, prices aren’t. Let me help you out, PRICES WILL NOT GO BACK DOWN without a major depression, they didn’t after Carter left and they won’t now. So Suck it up kids and remember Elections are just like erections, they have real world consequences..

yep, see one for “chicken” nuggets the other day. Pass.
Wonder when the McBug Burger will hit the shelves?

Speaking of which, I stumbled across an article where an archeologist stumbled across a well preserved body of an early man. They examined his insides of course and found that he likely died of constipation because his colon was packed with chitin from insects.

McDonald’s egg mcmuffin is about $4 now, unless you get on the app and it’s $2. They’re pushing people to use their apps so they can continue to reduce staffing.

(government wants to be the sole source for food.)

You may have hit the nail on the head

Control the masses via the food supply; Digital Currency to control everyone in how they BUY and SELL

THIS is what Tribulation Saints will have to contend with.

Many will betray them because they refused the Mark of the Beast.

Yes, this WILL NOT happen tomorrow but we have to tell people TODAY.

Because the days WILL come when owning a Bible and preaching sound doctrine will be ILLEGAL. Shoot, we're almost there.

Even in the good old U.S.A.

Haven’t had fast food or takeout since the phony pandemic began.
Can’t afford it now anyway.
I was advised by the VA to get the Hepatitis vax because of all the illegals working in restaurants in my area.
What could go wrong?

Sometimes I even splurge on the two for one cheeseburgers at $2.59 and completely spoil myself

Get a cooler that can keep food warm or cold that plugs into your car. It can co into a motel too.

If you take a Zuke and slice it lengthwise instead of in sections, then batter or flour it with beaten egg coating they make a pretty good ‘fry’ potato substitute with less starch...............
