That’s roughly around the time I’m rolling out my Surge Boycotting strategy.

I can’t wait!

Worst case of food poisoning I have ever suffered was from a Baconator. Fuck Wendy’s with fire.

The economy doesn’t care what people aka consumers want anymore. At shareholder insistence, they sabotage the future for a short term stock boost, knowing infinite growth on a finite world is over. This is terminal stage capitalism, and it’s not just gonna be Wendy’s, or in the food sector. The snake is eating its own tail as the scam runs out of room.

Capital markets were sold as seed funding to grow businesses, now they dismantle business ability to provide the product/service they existed for in the first place at any remotely decent quality. Economies are supposed to be lowly tools, existing solely to benefit and serve society, a method to more efficiently distribute goods/services within said society. The tail is wagging the dog.

The customer is the shareholder. The consumer is a means to an end. Same as it ever was.

The consumer/employee is livestock to the owner class, to be exploited at both ends, and discarded when it is exploited to the point it can no longer produce.

Also, I’m sure they will not use the conversion rate at higher prices to test out a higher base price.

I mean, if they want to but I’m getting fast food less and less. My wife and I got two numbered breakfast meals from McDonalds and it ended up being $27~. Yeaah I’ll just make breakfast at home.
