McDonald's is the restaurant of class traitors, none of my homies eat at that rat's nest.

I mean, also the food tastes like it was made for dogs not people, but yes there are many reasons to avoid giving patronage to most any fast food company.

made for dogs not people

Checks out

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Honestly though, what fucking tool flies private while flexing the fact that they brought McD’s for the flight? Like… what…?

[–] als@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 1 week ago

It's all about optics. "Hey he eats shit fast food just like me, I bet he's a really normal guy"

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I read a theory a while back that Trump only eats McDonald's so often because it prevents him from being poisoned, but in this case it's also like "hey you're the richest dude in the world, here's a quarter pounder, you work for me." Everything to the wealthy and powerful is about feeling more powerful than the others in the room

Prevents poisoning only insomuch as other people won't bother adding more poison to your food.

Can't make it much worse for you.

I'm 99% sure that Dorito Mussolini had a mini McDonald's installed in Air Force One. There's no bags, they have dine-in trays, and bottled soda because they couldn't put a fountain machine in a plane.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think that's air force one. My guess is they just had some staff on the private plane plate the burgers and fries using the normal plates and trays they'd serve any meals on and had them leave the bags in the back but leave the individual packaging for the food items so they could virtue signal eating the same food their fan club eats.

Another possibility is some high end chef was told to prepare burgers and fries and then use McDonald's packaging as a part of the presentation.

It's not AFOne. Most likely his favorite plane, the one that was formerly owned by Jeffrey Epstein.

My dogs do love McDonalds. You might be on to something.

I wouldn't feed it to them because I love my dogs and want them to live at least relatively healthy. But they'd love it if I would.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I admire your restraint as I'm sure it would be infectiously joyous to watch them scarf down a hamburger

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago

My two younger dogs love going for rides, like to the point that I have to get a family member to distract them if I grab my keys. The only way I can get them to not be sad and depressed when I get home from leaving without them is to bring them chicken nuggets. It got way too expensive doing that in the hot summer months when they can rarely go with me, so I had to start making my own and keeping them in the freezer for them to have when I get home. Lmao

My dog gets much higher quality food.

Also part of the BDS for giving free meals to Israeli soldiers

I feel kinda bad for the woman in the photo, since is wasn't her and she had it taken long before it happened.

Buuuut fuck the lot of em.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Also found out she rated for money she won't be able to collect because she called 911. So no money for the class traitor.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 week ago

Ahahah, wow, that really is capitalism at its best. That's some delicious irony and I'll bet none of the wealthy will do anything to try and get her her money either lol.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Took me a bit to realize you meant ratted instead of the past tense of "rate".

Though if they do stiff her on the money because of that technicality, I'd consider that a massive tactical blunder, maybe even strategic. Tactical because it reduces the incentive for individuals to inform because they'll realize the reward has technicalities that can be used to weasel out of paying it, on top of the public backlash directed towards the employee and everything they are known to be associated with (McDonald's). Strategic because it might just be another straw on the camel's back about how the ruling elite fuck over the working class every chance they get, even for amounts of money that would be trivial to them, despite being life changing for the informant.

My guess is that the technicalities will slide and there might be a ceremony with a novelty giant-sized check (which would simultaneously dodge the above issue while also still fucking her over because such an event would give a face to the one who called the police on a popular fugitive). Then she can be used to justify some secret police shit, if they still feel the need to justify things at that point.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

No they aren't about to give a minimum wage worker 60k. Best they could do is get hire fired. Fuck that worker she gets what she deserves.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

It could also filter to any McD's worker, or possibly other fast food worker. I find it sad that the story of a blue collar worker not resisting the reward bait, perhaps even not knowing the full information and internet vibe of don't tell, is now the lead rather than continuing the battle against CEOs. We really do have a short attention span for shiny things, don't we?

If I was a really deep conspiracy nut I'd even ponder if the whole thing was a plant to turn the public away from the rich. Nah...we're not that stupid, right?

They should have use AI from this kind of meme

I assumed it was a stock photo. I never hold anything against faces I see in media, especially when they’re lit this professionally, because they’re often stock photos.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Situation aside, I absolutely love downloading super specific memes that the meaning of which I will either have no recollection, or will be etched into my brain forever. Sometimes it's assassinations, sometimes it's moot posting soup b which seems to have disappeared.
