Its insane how many people believe anything Fox news tells them.
The one I hear a lot recently is "everything is so expensive because they have to pay a McDonald’s worker 15 DOLLARS an hour!!! (The underlying text: “they deserve 1 dollar an hour and to be near homeless becuase they serve me and their job isnt important”).
Then I try explaining that has nothing to do with it because the wage in other countries is actually the same or higher and its because of uncontrolled CORPORATE GREED that we have this (look at the increase in billionaires from 2019 to 2022.)
I cant believe how stupid people are. I think we all need to keep on explaining the truth to them though, because I’ve noticed they think a LITTLE harder about it when I deny their comment as true.
Possible, but beef is actually cheaper in the UK even though it’s an overpopulated island compared to, you know, America.
In any event your conclusion that it therefore isn’t corporate greed and exploitation isn’t anywhere close to sound, how would a roughly equivalent price and wage comparison do anything in that regard?
Thanks for the beef context!
Reading my post again, I agree with you. Unsound conclusion on a tired day. Apologies; I’ll edit it.
