Guess I shouldn’t have been an impressionable teenager that believed adults when I was told I’d work at McDonald’s forever if I didn’t take the loan. Egg on my face, haha.

Some of those people ended up working at McDonald’s anyway, and then had the audacity to want a livable wage… But that would raise prices… But somehow the prices went up anyways… 🤷
