Bidenomics: Fast Food Costs Soar — McChicken up 199%, Frosty up 111%, Taco Bell Burrito up 132%
Breitbart ^ | 05/22/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Fast food is no longer healthy for your wallet. Common fast food favorites increased in price under President Joe Biden’s so-called Bidenomics.

Fast food inflation has a disparate impact across racial and ethnic groups due to different levels of fast food consumption. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 42.4 percent of non-Hispanic black adults consume fast food, compared with 37.6 percent of non-Hispanic white adults, 35.5 percent of Hispanic adults, and 30.6 percent of Asian adults.

The higher price tag of popular foods may be creating political problems for Biden. Thirty percent of black men and 11 percent of black women intend to vote for former President Donald Trump, a Wall Street Journal poll found, a dramatic increase from 2020.

“But lets make the fast food wage 20 bucks...”

Like in California under Newsome. Of course his restaurant is not covered under the new law.

I stopped eating fast food in 1997, except for rare stops at Subway during road trips, also rare.

This doesn’t impact me, thank God. They can charge all they want. One thing I find sorta comical is that I can get an incredible combo lunch at my local favorite Mexican restaurant for $5.99, and it’s only a few dollars more for a typical dinner there. I love living in the rural area.

This just makes fast food kiosks look a LOT cheaper.

They are going to go out of business. Buildings and labor are too expensive. Limited entry level jobs.

Pizza delivery has become just too expensive.

So I bought a pizza oven. A few more of MY pizzas, and it will pay for itself.

My friends shouldn’t we be running with this issue? Everyone goes out to eat from time to time and these prices are quicker to hit home. Gas is a necessity. You just pay it. Eating fast food is a cheap convenient luxury we all engage in. At least we used to. So where are the republicans?

Skyrocketing Inflation caused by devaluation of the dollar is main culprit.

Continous, constant, created debt of Trillions and trillions of made-up dollars.

So where are the republicans?

Where were they when government made eating out very difficult during the government imposed covidiocy?

Oh, yeah ... from the top down, it was "out of an abundance of caution, and in accordance with CDC guidelines" we're going to destroy the American economy and stomp on your liberty. From March, 2020 to maybe some time in mid 2022, NOBODY in any political office showed any intelligence or courage. They ALL participated in the covidiocy to some degree.

Why would anyone expect them to behave any better now? Inflation is deliberate policy.

But that's the whole point. Sweeping floors at a fast food restaurant is now a career option; same with pouring coffee at Starbucks or delivering (pizza, chicken, the list goes on.)

The new generation Americans consider these the jobs of the future, along with being on a government payroll or working for a non-profit.

Today, I don't know what would be considered entry-level.

Perhaps getting a welfare check or a part-time minimum wage job. A long-term career path, with job security, might be having two part-time minimum wage jobs.
