    You actually lost because you didn't pay them $2 for the $10 nuggets while paying a "lawyer" $4 to threaten the McDonalds with protracted, expensive legal action if they were to take this fraud to small claims court, thereby saving four dollars.

    Just saw a ranking of the Top 15 fast food burgers, and McDonalds was dead last, something I've been saying my entire life. #1 was Shake Shack, but that's not right. The best fast food burgers are Culvers, which wasn't on the list at all.

    Controversial opinion, but its actually burger king now.

    I used to be die hard wendys/culvers, but culvers is too greasy and Wendy's has fallen off HARD to my dead-last.

    Huh, BK is considered the worst of the worst in my city. Wendy's just above it. Five Guys and Freddy's are both pretty good but I am not sure they're national

    I see Freddies now and then, but I've never tried it. I got to try In & Out a while back, and it was great, but Culvers was still better. I still wish our state had In & Out, but I doubt it will ever happen.

    Culver’s is absolutely peak for fast food chains. Their chicken and fish are great, too. Shakes from there are best in class.

    Everything they have is best in class - their fish sandwich is incredible, McDonalds should be ashamed. Their chicken is as good as any, and better than most. They even have an excellent Pot Roast Sandwich.

    And their prices are really reasonable, too. They could easily justify what Five Guys charges, but they don't, so the place is ALWAYS jumping.

    Every shake shack I've tries is like the saltiest burgers, they are not good. Also for a place called shake shack you'd think they'd have awesome shakes, they are meh, tiny and expensive. Five Guys is hit or miss but sometimes they hit so fucking hard, idk how they do it different but at least it doesn't taste like salt.

    I think Five Guys burgers are better than most, but not great. OTOH, they have the best fries in the business. Sometimes I'll order a large batch of fries, and reheat them in the air fryer. The way they load you up, I can usually get 3 or 4 servings out of it.

    And Five Guys prices are immoral. The last time I got a double bacon cheeseburger, small fries and a drink, and it was $25! That was the end for me.

    And I've never been impressed by Shake Shake. They seem to be comparable to Burger Fi, which I never see mentioned anywhere. Good, but not great, and definitely not worth the super premium price.

    Eating at McDonalds still feels like defeat though.

    Also, if you can buy an EV that is $10k better value than a mechahitler or ICE car, but are prevented the choice, Mechahitler did just steal $10k from you. Mechahitler will use the funds to pay for GOP disinformation/election rigging, and an optimus robot army coming any day now for next 20 years.

    Killing is hungry work and McDonald’s is cost effective.

    Isn't McDonald's where they caught the alleged killer of the United HealthCare CEO too? What is it about McDonald's that makes it hit after a murder? 🤣

    This is the worst possible example to prove a point against tariffs lmao.

    McDonald's wins in this case, because they succeeded at transferring wealth from the poor to the rich, while externalizing the costs onto healthcare system and the environment.

    It's the perfect example. No one won in this situation because both sides got what they wanted, McDonald's got $10 and you've got a burger, if you weren't prepared to pay $10 for a burger you wouldn't have engaged in the transaction. It's exactly the same with international trade, the United States gives some other nation two billion dollars and in exchange they get a cargo containers worth of iron or whatever, if the United States was not prepared to pay 2 billion dollars for the iron, they wouldn't have done so.

    In boat scenarios no one is forced to do anything they don't want to do and no one is getting taken advantage of.

    Trump always talks about trade wars in this way. I think they're just making fun of Trump's analogy rather than explaining the current environment accurately in any way.
