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?

Wow. That is an incredibly spot on, revealing take.

Some issues are more important than others.

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.

We do not have a fake government. It is very real. But, it is no longer a Constitutional Republic.

Call them Fake to their faces.

Guaranteed to make their heads explode.

Also, thinking of them that way makes it easier to interact with Fake Government operatives.

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).

The problem is that a bad actor, functioning as an officer of a publicly traded corporation, has entered into an improper relationship with a likely corrupt vendor to provide a deliberately sabotaged forced-purchase item supplied to franchisees who are then defrauded for unnecessary "service". Franchise owners who have circumvented the sabotage face punishment from home office, and the same company provides nearly identical equipment to other chains without the shenanigans. The McDonalds version was created specifically for them and owners are not allowed to purchase the manufacture's other open market models.

The contract with Taylor as far as they being the only certified repair service for the machines or warranty violated is exactly the same as when Kroc was making the decisions, I know I was managing at the time.

The exclusive repair part is something he might have done, but leaving himself no outs or making a deal for as machine that was next to impossible for average hires to keep clean wasn't based on everything I have read about the man, combined with my personal experiences as a McDonald's customer when he was at the helm.

I could certainly see him breaking the contract and going to court or replacing the machines long before it got out of control. I will defer to your inside knowledge though, if my understanding is incomplete based on a well-manipulated mythology.
