How much profit is McDonald's Corp making in the US? In Germany (Munich in particular, which usuay is the most expensive city for everything) a big Mac meal is around 9,79€ (although there's always a coupon in the app for some free nuggets or something). The workers are paid decently, they have full health insurance (including dental, eyes, etc, because everybody gets those), unlimited sick days and a minimum of 24 vacation days.

The fuck you guys are doing over there?

Funneling all our money into the hands of the already rich.

It's a privilege to provide all that freedom to the hard-working innovators that make this country great! (Heavy sarcasm)

McDonald's didn't make profit on the food. They make money on the land value and franchise fees. I'm more saying I completely disagree with you but I think there is a more accurate way to frame where money is going. McDonald's healthcare is far better than what you'll get working at smaller food service business.

For what's it worth, my big ac meal is only 10.6€.
