1. You don't need fast food. 2. The fast food companies are all owned by like three companies. 3. The company is NOT your friend.
Yeah but your friends might work in fast food. The Government is at fault here for taxing too much and refusing to represent those being taxed.
In Australia we don't eat out as much as in the USA.
@@soundsoflife9549 In Japan they eat out nearly every day.
Edit: To all the repliers, if I didn't say it, it's not an argument. Stop making assumptions.
@@GSPfan2112 Great point!
I live in a small town with only a subway and I don’t eat there ever. since the whole pandemic I stopped eating out and prepare all my meals from scratch and I use recipes. I refuse to eat anything that has bio engineered food on the label. I also refuse to eat or us products with soy added. My health has improved significantly ever since I changed my diet. Everything you eat, can affect your health.
NYC is a dumpster fire
Yup
It use to be such a great city too.
Brooklyn. Is. Awful.
Agreed 😢
More like a 1970s NYC bus station toilet bowl.
Leaving NYC 15 years ago was a blessing in disguise.
15 years ago it was actually a pretty cool city. So was LA, Seattle, Portland, Chicago.....
Glad you’re gone. Less competition for apts.
@@12HappyDonuts Lol, compete for what? You call those closets, Apartments!? Tfoh with that non sense 🤣🤣
@@12HappyDonuts Now you get to fight with all the illegals for them.

These businesses don't exist to provide value food to the public. They exist to provide dividends to shareholders.
Shareholder dividends won’t get paid without customers.
There is so much wrong in NYC, that Cash will never run out of things to report on.
Kinda fucked up actually- voting to ruin your city, then profiting off the reporting.
A lot of lazy overpaid public employees
Makes you wonder why he lives there. If it is so bad how come he doesn't pick up and leave.
@@mix-A-Lessone option is to leave because you can’t afford it and it’s taking its toll, the other is to show people how outrageous it is in order for them to be aware when it starts happening elsewhere. It’s like a sickness, you don’t just ignore it and move on hoping it doesn’t spread to other parts. It’s a good insight to a place I used to live for a couple years in college and I’m glad he’s showing how ludicrous it has become
@@mix-A-Lesseveryone has a tolerance level of how bad things can get. When it crosses that line then people leave. Everyone’s tolerance level is different. The bad must outweigh the good by quite a lot before people decide to make changes in their lives. It looks like he’s actually considered moving in some of his videos.
Remember when people ate a packed lunch with a warm flask of something to drink.
Fast food is just slowly killing you.
You got it!
When regular customers learn about the ingredients in McD's food it'll likely scare them away or not. I wont eat their chemical burger & fries now. I rarely eat at other fast food chains as well... unless I'm really hungry and desperate. Even their coupons they offer don't really lure me in.
The original perks of getting fast food was that it was tasty, affordable, and made quickly... now the quality is heavily reduced and as expensive as some restaurants delivering much better food, and sometimes faster...
That pail lunch is way more dangerous than they were decades ago
@@McBuggs. plastics in cheese
Check this out, go to the store buy yourself a dozen eggs, bread of your choice and some fruits. Now you have breakfast for the week for the price of your McDonald’s breakfast. Also, fast food is killing us. Wake up people
I agree!
We don't call fast food as junk food for no reason.
Are you telling US Senior are the Blame? I so rarely go to fast food, I perf to make my food it may not be fancy but i know what I place in my food
I’m not eating that
In Ohio my wife and I went to McDonald's and she ordered a Bic Mac Value meal and I ordered just a Quarter Pounder...$18.26. Our last stop there. F McDonald's.
I personally don’t eat fast food, but the high price is ridiculous for such low quality food. 🙄
It’s even gotten too expensive in suburban areas. I normally only order from the value menus when I go.
Eat garbage and complain, makes triple zero sense

I just hope this will push people to eat healthier and not the crap bomb these places sell.
Eating fast food is now a luxury. What a time.
@@UberFoX Franchise owners have been saying that the price of ingredients are way up to the point that they had no choice but to raise prices. In fact the $5 value meal plan McDonalds came up with is under fire from the franchise owners themselves who said that they would take serious losses on it.

There's nothing luxurious about McDonald's.
As it should be tbh no one should be eating McDonald's daily. It's not healthy.
It was a luxury back in the 60s - our family was poor and couldn't afford McDonalds. By the the mid 70s McDonalds became affordable.
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”-Thomas Jefferson
But Private Banks can't issue money. Only the FED can. What Thomas Jefferson quote here didn't predict is that the FED, despite being a governmental entity, is acting exactly like he warned private banks would act.
why is there scaffolding everywhere? The city looks like a junkyard.
Might be because rent is so high (which is why Walmart is not in NYC) the at some projects get abandoned until further notice
Because there’s a law in NYC when working above street level so if you drop a hammer it doesn’t kill somebody
It is a junkyard
I went in 2003 and the scaffolding was everywhere then. It was difficult to walk. All major cities are expensive, dirty, crowded, noisy, pick pockets....
Overrated in my opinion and I was born in London...LoL
The motto should be changed from ' I love New York' to 'NYC hates you'.
Good one make that T-shirt
More like 'NYC loves banks and hates poor people'. Every time they increase the minimum wage the land lord jacks up the rent and the banks get 2/3 of the price of the home in interest on a 30-year mortgage so the cost of housing is always guaranteed to go up faster than minimum wage solely from the mortgage interest.
NYC is a cesspool
NYC is a paradise every one and business is safe there I don’t know what your talking about
So does joe biden
fast food isnt worth it anymore. stop buying from Mcdonalds, BK, subway etc
Well I definitely have I don't go to fast food places ! Not if I can help it anyway ! For the most part i don't I usually eat at home or got some restaurants we're I live bit there not fast food! There more reasonable and they help you ! Very nice people and the is a supermarket nearby also and bus 🚌 stops I take the busses around town . Just wanted to share that with you jamie 😊
These things were junk food from the beginning🤷♂️
@Already100 if u have to eat bad it's better then eating nothing at all jamie
Agreed. I never eat fast food when Im home but when I was visiting Toronto two months ago, I mostly ate independent restaurant food but I did go to a Jolibee outlet in North York. Have to say, the place was full and the food was good.

Boycott these companies, stop consuming. Billion dollar companys saying they have to raise the price of food to keep up with how much employees make is nonsense.
Price raise 100% wage raise 10%
Let the investors think about a smaller profit or shutdown and no profit at all!
I think the companies raise prices to keep their ratios the same. If wages go up by 10%, they raise prices by the same percentage instead of raising prices to cover actual costs. We are getting fleeced
@@ribertfranhanreagen9821False. Minimum wage has doubled in the past 8 years and prices have reflected that.
Employees barely make anything. It’s the executives trying to cost cut to make the profit numbers look HIGHER. It all goes back to the stock market. Remove this stock market and this behavior will cease.
Just eat at home. Health comes first. If one isn’t healthy, nothing else matters
The average family of 4 can easily spend over 60 at a fast food place per visit. Nah I’m good fam. Put that into better ingredients and make my own food 😂
Yep I’m making pot roast for dinner. Less than one fast food meal and will feed us dinner for like 3 days
Takes less time then getting take out from these places as well. Unless you decide to make something fancy.
Good for you. Now all you have to do is vote the Progressive bums out.
You're right. Soon mobs will start to raid outlets and "snatch and grab" burgers and sell them on the street for less.
That's almost what I spend in a week for groceries. I meal prep and cook a lot of simple foods, my own fast food lol
Fast foods are forgeting their role.
Now you'll pay too much for something that can't even be called a full meal
…And it’s not even real food. It’s “yummy” tasting chemicals and poisons that our bodies can’t process.
that's why dining out at Fast Food should be mandatory for every registered Dem voter

Never in my old life have I EVER seen prices drop.
They stay like this forever man
The government considers that the worst that that could possibly happen to you - your cost of living going down. No joke, they call it deflation and they repeatedly state that they will do whatever it takes to fight off deflation.
Yes you have gas prices under Carter compared to gas prices under..any other republican President.
@@N20Joe deflation is also a problem if some prices go too low alot of ppl stop producing those things
@@bidoof4426 Yes in a free market prices go lower for a time, the market responds, then prices go higher for a time, mkt responds, then go lower again, etc.
When government gets involved, they only allow prices to go higher in perpetuity.

Part of why I stopped eating at fast food was because in Virginia there so many taxes. We have sales tax, service taxes, food sale taxes, and soda taxes. If I eat fast food, my price is nearly doubled by all the taxes.
WOW-!!!😳.. What do you expect with a diabolically devastating cess pool democratic party😈. That controls the state-???🤔
10 years? It's more than doubled in the past year.
2021-2024 because of fuel amd insurance going up for no good reason.. adding onto all other cost of goods to operate
@@dertythegrower It started with eggs and chicken. From there every industry took turns gouging us. I remember being in walmart and a bag of chicken wings was 50 bucks. 50 bucks for mostly bones. Sure fuel and other costs contributed but they are definitely gouging us and purposely crashing our economy. My local pizza place has a burger with fries on the menu for 6.50. There is no justification for what's going on.
@@DogSpeak Eggs are still double what they were 2 years ago. That's 100% inflation.

New York and California are expensive places that are controlled by greedy people.
$3,000 a month for a one bedroom NYC apartment is bad enough but when I have to pay $18.79 for a Bacon double quarter pounder with cheese meal that’s just wrong.
Ikr? I just said that I paid $54 for a 12 piece meal at Popeyes for my bday. Never again
That's crazy. You can buy a 4-5 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood for that amount each month for your mortgage. In 15-30 years you have a good bit of money in your house where at the end of 15-30 years you have no equity, no money from your apartment. Of course, that house is not in NYC.
$3k is a great price on a one bedroom in nyc! lol.
bro 3k a month in texas probably gets you some luxurious high end apartment at some big high rise building in dallas or houston. hell even 1500 a month can get you a very nice comfortable place. i pay 762 a month for my studio lol
@@rag83991 that’s amazing, I moved from nyc to LA. Things are also very expensive in LA but at least my rent gets me a lot more space at home. But still expensive
There's no excuse for these places . Chipotle raised their prices before the pandemic . I use to get chicken burritos with extra chicken and that would come out to about 10.90-11.00 . Then out of nowhere the same order was $16.90-17.00 . This was before the crazy rates of inflation .
Never going to New York again. Never going to McDonald's ever again.
If Mcdonalds is as much as an independent pizza place. I'm eating at the pizza place. Not a big name.
Yep, the other night ordered burgers and fresh cut fries from an independent place for the same price as McDonald's. But real food
@@angela86753 Now hear me out....make it yourself and spend far less. People have been saying a lot of the same stuff for years and I just continuously laugh when people tell me how much they spend at places like taco bell, Mcdonalds or Chickfila. Tacos at the house will cost me 3-4x less than taco bell ever would, they taste WAY better and I know I'll have far more food for the price, too and I won't be missing half of my order, the diablo sauce OR the toppings I paid extra for.
How hard is it to press down a burger in a pan, salt and pepper it and slap a kraft slice on it? Why on earth would it cost me 4$ for a mcdouble when 1lb of ground beef, a bag of buns and a pack of kraft slices will cost me 15$? You know how many burgers I can make with that? And Chickfila isn't gonna tell me that FOUR chicken tenders should cost anywhere near 10 dollars. You're out your MIIIINDS.
@@angela86753 whats strange is McDonalds never makes you feel full, but real burgers and fries do...
Pretty soon even those "independent" joints will be gone too. Thanks to idiotic Progressive governance.
lol my fave things to get in NYC are dumplings, and dollar slices.. though the place Cash showed in his thumbnail is the only dollar slice in town right now, and they are ALWAYS jumping. I really hope they can make it because their pizza is great!
Though honestly i can see why fast food is failing in NYC.. they aren't going to snag customers from tourists, and the prices are a turnoff to regular NYers. Plus fast food has far more competition in NYC... I am surprised that places like Dominos, PizzaHut, etc are able to make it in this town. Who are those places for?
The only way i'll get fast food is if there is a free item that brings the price of a decent meal down to like $2. My meal today was BK Rodeo, and a free bacon cheeseburger. Like i'm not a purist for fast food lol.
Here's me living in a small village in France and watching a video about the collapse of New York. It's a strange world we live in...
France is soon because they're taking in more than they could handle
How’s inflation? Any rogue shoplifters in France? I bet they actually prosecute crime in France.
Sadly, laws changed here and we don’t prosecute enough.
I’m familiar with NYC and San Francisco. We’ve devolved here.
Yeah. Because Paris fell many years ago. 🤦🏻♂️🤡
France isn't doing that great either .
Your country just had an armed gang (with machine guns, not the sCaRy Ar-15 and Glocks) attack an armored truck to break out their other member. You have gun control similar to New York and the criminals still, as we keep saying, don't care about your laws. The world is just falling all over the place.
Additionally, they used guns that US Americans do NOT have legal access to
The reason MCDs is hurting is because CEO/ share holders are getting 40% of gross profit from all the franchises. They are greedy af.

@@igeo212 fuk trash york!!! 🗑
Sad but true!
They ship their trash to Texas landfills!
NYC isn't killing the fast food industry. They are killing themselves. Blaming higher prices on inflation is just a front. For example, if McDonald's were to cut their quarter pounder meal by 50 percent, profits would still be exorbitant. Bottom line, greed is beginning to become an Achilles heal for many of these glutinous fast food entities and their only recourse is to shut down.
Yet politicians are saying the economy has gotten better with higher minimum wages. But the truth speaks itself here and its actually worse!!!
Hahhahahahaha. I sold two buildings for amazing profits
The dow is over 40,000
I can charge whatever i want for my other 4 buildings
Look in a mirror, YOUR lazy choices are why you are not liking today's economy!

Shoutout to my local family owned Chinese restaurant whose lunch menu has been $10.50 for like 5+ years. It is in fact cheaper to sit down and eat there than take out at Panda Express.

That's about $6 above my lunch budget

And all those jobs and insurance policies will go by by
The power of socialism. Nothing can destroy as fast and efficiently as socialism.
Don't forget all the new rules from NY state & feds too on how to run a business from pay, time off paid, childcare, on & on. Then new regs coming with freon, etc electric, gas, equipment.. on & on too . Then cost of ingredients..
most people think minimum wage is $10 to $15 it is not in reallity it is $7.50 states that raise minimum wage are causing prices to rise customers are making up the differance in workers pay
Well, they wouldn’t go broke if they learn how to cook at the house🤷♂️🤡🌎🥳
Fast food always made me feel sluggish and tired. Seems counterintuitive to pay high prices for something that doesn’t make you feel healthy and happy.
Honestly, with the exception of employment, we don’t need all that poison! We need to go back to food prepping at home!
This is why the 80's the 90's and early 2000's were the best times ever.
I miss the Big Xtra
Yeah, because it was ran by Republicans.
The Carter administration was a pain, too, and stagflation was awful ... but it was better than anything in the 21st century.

Cheap junkfood = more obesity. Plz explain how that is good?!
It hasn't gotten "more expensive",
the dollar is just becoming worthless.
Yes. You got it.
Good point !!
That what you get with the borrow and spend insanity
What I don't understand is: why are these people still fat if they can't afford food?
Too much money leaving China and coming back to the US.
thanks Cash! You have a talent of addressing issues like a TRUE NYC RESIDENT. It's a relief to know that when I have these same observations as your videos, that it's not just my perception. You base your presentations on statistics and your personal experiences and those of us who live here. Fast food joints? Honestly was never a fan, but in a pinch when times were tough and time short, yeah I'd grab a few bites from a place or two... now I eat fast food maybe once a month.. it's crappy, tastes horrible, costs too much and IT'S NOT HEALTHY. This is an issue you didn't include obesity, diabetes, 0 nutritional value. So people with limited income who buy fast food also get a heart attack in that bag of fries!
It being cheap was one of the two major reasons people bought fast food. Now there's not really any reason to buy it.
Buy your own food, cook it yourself, one of the most economical foods is soup. A nice pot of soup can be batch frozen and re-heated over a week, put into a thermos flask. A pasta bake, lasagna etc can be made cheaply and in volume. MUCH better value than rip-off takeaway food.
I bought 2 roasting chickens on sale for $15.00 total last week , had a chicken dinner , next day chicken salad sandwiches, then made broth with the carcass and made a big pot of soup. That was just from 1 of the chickens. I haven't eaten out for ages now, and I don't miss it.
Freezing kills enzymes. You are putting in extra effort to eat worse.
@@JMOlsen_ Nothing is worse than junk food. I'm sure that a frozen home made lasagna is way better than a Petri dish some people call meat and cheese inside a McD hamburger.
@@juansanchezvilla-lobosrami5404 The line between regular food and "junk food" is often blurry. Low quality, overcooked and/or repeatedly frozen homemade food made with inferior ingredients is not any better. If low quality ingredients were used, homemade means very little. Other than that the home cook gets to control how it is seasoned.
@@JMOlsen_ Well, in Europe you can't use low quality ingredients unless you really try. You can't have meat loaded with chemicals even if you want to, vegetables are fresh, usually from a local provider even for a hypermarket and so on. Case, I work in Romania for a Swiss hypermarket chain 8 years and counting. We have a health inspector in store every day. Everything fresh like meats, fish and fruits/vegetables are tested every day. By law. Even the not so perishable products are tested periodically. The fresh products, being local are way cheaper. Who wants lamb meat from New Zeeland? We have sheep. So, cooking at home is way cheaper and healthier than any takeout.
They want you to feel helpless and beg for government help, it’s simple

Most of the western world is! Most Americans have no idea about Canada's worse housing affordability crisis and Australia's. They keep us ignorant here to avoid us asking what other countries are going to do about issues.
One of the main reasons why is they don't want Americans to realize your college and medical care are vast superior. It was cheaper for me to go to Oxford for a semester abroad than it was to stay at my normal law school. Most American kids don't even know what a bargain euro universities are and you don't have to go to some no name school. Everyone knows Oxford and Cambridge and it was way cheaper than my non world class school!
What problem do all the countries of the West embrace? What ethno masochistic policies are the Western countries employing? That is putting such an undue strain on the cost of living?

I stop buying food when I go to work a long time ago. I cook and take my lunch, or make a sandwich, I bring in my breakfast and my own coffee. I give myself one treat day when I get paid and that’s it.
Food in the city has always been expensive it’s just getting worse along with everything else.
Thanks for the memories....love & miss Manhattan! Thank you, for your current views of the city and it's attractions.
The problem is people keep buying it. And the food quality definitely isn't worth what is being charged for it. You can get better quality and bigger portions from a sit down restaurant for around the same price. Where I live, a Whopper combo is $13.99. A hamburger meal from Outback is $14.99, guess which one I'm ordering!

I've become soooo much healthier since the rise of inflation. I cut out soda, juice, ice cream, chips and sooooo much more and became pescatarian. Meat became too expensive and unsafe to eat, case of soda, juice, chips, ice cream, bacon all increased by $2-$3. I'm putting less sugar and sodium in my body and I ave $200 a month doing it.
SUPPLY AND DEMAND..
No demand, ...
LESS THE COST to Consumers.
BOYCOTT FAST FOOD
I saved thousands of dollars preparing my own meals with fresh ingredients. AND LOST 50LBS
I don't live in NYC, but even where I live, fast-food prices have gone up significantly. We now think twice about eating out. It's just getting too expensive.
Just think of Security in general ordering delivery from Uber eats,
DoorDash and ect, keeping fast food restaurants in business and staff from businesses. No one knows security makes good money than first responders alone.
I think it’s important to mention that government lies and omits data in reporting inflation. The Fed continuing to print money at will is also a huge factor.
Here in Panama a deluxe burger, medium fries, medium drink at McDonald's costs $3.99.
*Sci-fi movies are eerily prophetic. In the 1993 film Demolition Man, Taco Bell was the only chain that survived a fast food war and had become a French Laundry style fine dining establishment.*
Thar movie had a lot of preludes to present events
That movie is one of the most accurate of the dystopian future. They even named Sandra Bullock's character Huxley after Brave New World author Aldous Huxley.
Falling down is another prophetic movie.
I still find it funny that they changed it internationally to Pizza Hut because no one knew what Taco Bell was. I'm not joking that's what actually happened

It totally baffles me that McDonald's charges THREE DOLLARS for a hash brown patty. It's the size of eight french fries and contains no meat nor dairy. You can buy them frozen from a grocery store and air fry it yourself for about 50 cents.
Go to all these and get the eight pack of frozen hash browns for $1.99
I can buy a bag full of frozen hash brown patties for not much more than they charge for one. Plus when I fry mine up, I'll melt cheddar cheese on top and they are freakin' awesome that way. McDonalds doesn't even have real cheddar cheese so they won't and can't do that for you. Make it at home and save a bundle.
So don’t buy at McDonald’s🤷♂️
Cook them while you’re in the shower, grab a few on your way out the door! $1.50 vs. $9.00 +tax! A no-brainer!
We just bought a giant bag full of those things for 10 bucks at the local grocery store. That alone saves tons of money but when I make mine and they're almost done I'll turn the heat down to low and put some cheddar cheese on top and let them sit for a minute under the frying pan lid, the cheese melts and they are freakin' awesome.
the CEOs make millions. Their millions salaries come from diners. hence the prices. the CEOs /MBAs are taking all the money out of companies when there will no longer be a company.
I'm so glad I forced myself to stop eating fast food when it was still affordable. Now, I'm disciplined enough to avoid temptation and save myself from financial ruin.
One thing a lot of people miss is you get quicker at grocery shopping and cooking if you do it more often. That "fast food" no longer seems so much faster. 🚘🍔🤷🏻♂️
It’s not just NYC, they are severely over valuing their products.
It's all over the place.
Here in australia too. Havent been to mcdonalds in many months. Last time i went i got mcnuggets - they just tasted like fried batter. Disgusting.
Inflation is NOT going down.
But Overseer Yellen and Oberfuhrer Biden say all is well with the economy…

I live in a small town, went to BK the other day and 2 medium sized meals came out to $22! $22 for BK? Never again.
Start rooftop and patio gardens. Raise your own food. Plant fruit trees in pots they can live indoors.
There is no reason to go to MC Donalds in NYC, there are so many small food stands, diners, or sliced pizzas which are much better,
Absolutely. I can get a NYC style giant slice of pizza for $2.50. I’m stuffed afterward. I don’t do that everyday though.
@@jeffreykreiley7265 They still have those one dollar slices, that's amazing if they've maintained that.
Indeed, I'll take Rafiqi's over McDonald's any day.
Exactly! You can't beat a fresh NYC pizza, McD's can't compete with that...ever.
Home cooked good taste better
The dismantling of America continues...
Yep the key to America is McDonalds lol

The city responds with a smirk, assuring that there's no issue at all. We'll simply hike up the prices at the supermarket. After all, why not make them contribute to our taxes?
NY gets worse and worse every time I hear about it.
Chick-fil-A is packed, McDonald’s food is not good.
Bad service and quality is the reason I stopped going there.
Same with in and out. In and out is still relatively cheap
Burger King is no good either.
Chick-fil-A menu doesn't make my Day. 😊
they even more expensive than McDonald's
When I was a kid in the late 70s/80s, people didn't eat out as much. Eating out was an occasional treat, even at McDonald's. I've gone back to eating at home and eating out as an occassional treat.
It WAS a treat, wasn't it 😊
Of course! Eating out was for very special occasions, like high school and college graduations, milestone wedding anniversaries, winning a scholarship! A lot of people eat out once a week or for everyone’s birthday, good report cards, just because Mom doesn’t feel like cooking! We got all dressed up to eat out, even if at a diner! Everyone was their best behavior.
@@mariekatherine5238
Mom? People had a Mom back then? Yeah, I remember back before the evil Democrats destroyed everything. Mom even made great pizza and cookies.
You know who's really screwed? Young people who've never been taught how to cook. Instead they've been indoctrinated with stupid shit like genders and pronouns.
Yes I remember going to eat at Taco Bell RESTAURANT. It was actually a restaurant back in the 70's. It was a treat to go there or KFC, A&W , Pizza Hut, Godfather's Pizza, Long John Silvers. It was a special occasion back then.
In Europe the salary/h is between 12-25 €with 6 weeks payed holidays, full healthcare and retirement-fond and the companies are making profit.
Yeah. That vacant space next to Panda Express used to be Bro Jimmy's BBQ.
What does BBQ cost in NYC? 50 bucks a plate.
So the movie Escape From New York was actually a documentary that was sent back in time.
Paid $34 for 4 Whoppers, 4 pc chix nugs, and a fry last week, in rural Wisconsin.
Never again.
Americans , remember this , prices were great when Trump was your President . You are now being bamboozled by power hungry Demon Craps.
Cheeseheads
Damn, 34.00 at Burger King used to feed a little league baseball team.
OMG I remember those days…..birthday parties for kids, is anyone still doing that?
If that was £34 that sounds a good deal
In the UK, heinz baked beans dramatically increased their price , a few years back now , to take advantage under the cloak of general inflation
Morgan Spurlock”supersize me” director dead at 53. Connection? Lives will be saved if people can’t afford fast food crap.
NYC has always been too expensive now it’s obscene
Charge NYC with obscenity charges and arrest the Democrats for stealing the election(s).
NYC is a place for the super wealthy and the super poor.
Obscenely Progressive.
Yeah, obscenely Progressive.
I hate liberalism
Now people have no excuses for eating unhealthy when fast food and healthy alternatives are competing in prices.
Turns our sleep is the best weight loss diet. It's what's for dinner.
They will still buy junk food don’t get your hopes up! Every video I have seen is the only thing that remains from massive theft is healthy food. The bread lines can’t come any sooner.
Where are you shopping ? I have always bought organic and local eggs,etc. I no longer can afford to eat healthy.
Food that's better for you has ALWAYS been cheaper. People just want to lie because they want food that tastes good or are simply TOO LAZY to cook. Boo-hoo, I'm tired after work. SO AM I, but I still can still cook simple things that AREN'T loaded with fat, sugar, and salt. I can buy a large bag of rice and beans for next to nothing. Get some chicken breasts and some vegetables and I'm set. Our society is OVERWEIGHT as well, they can EASILY skip a few meals, too.
@@selah4719try a local farmer for eggs and vegetables.
Californian here.
Our state is working on destroying fast food as well. April 1, 2024, fast food workers get paid $20, which means a lot of fast food places are going out of business.
There's a politician in Los Angeles who wants to make the minimum wage for EVERYONE $50. California seems to be attacking all businesses and fast food at $20 minimum wage was just the start.
Being in the UK I find it amazing why people go to fast food restaurants so often. I last went 5 years ago. I make my own meals and if I go out it's a local small place owned by a family.
CEOs can take a pay cut! It is corporate greed NOT inflation!
It is both
Not to mention, the congestion price is coming this summer. It's also politician greed too.
@lordy It’s inflation!! Woke schools don’t teach when wages rise the prices of goods and services rise too! Even for those who identify as a whatever.
@@lvgk8898 If CEO's made less but the workers made more based on how much the CEO is no longer making then the stockholders would not lose any profit, as all that happened was that some of the income spent on the CEO went to the actual workers. I probable didn't describe that the best, but still the corporate system is broken and corrupt. It heavily increases the cost of starting and maintaining a small/private business AKA the American dream.
Are you really this dumb?
Biggest problem is record profits. Just because McDonald’s missed their earnings mark, doesn’t mean they haven’t made a ridiculous amount of profit this year, even compared to prior years. They’ve blamed wages and inflation, when in reality they took an opportunity to raise their prices just because they thought they could (like with much of the artificial inflation).
What they got wrong was the fact that while grocery stores could get away with it, fast food is meant to be cheap. That’s the point.
Cost of production, manufacturing, transportation, maintenance and wage has nothing to do with the higher price. 🤣 They are paying the same ?? Big companies are immune to inflation. Got it.
@@gingermcgarvey7773 well said!!!
If this were just companies artificially increasing price then they would have to be coordinating together so as to prevent someone underselling them.
Not impossible but not likely, it seems to me much more reasonable that the lockdown broke supply chains that had been built up over decades and it's both price gouging and/or bad regulations on top
They miss those COVID profits and want them back. It's all about the investors.
EXACTLY, its simple pure Coroporate greed, and lazy people, lazy people dont have good paying jobs. and thats the vicious circle.
what is that at 6:58? I see it at 7:00 between the door and windows, it like a smaller window that they chose to block off with...some kind of insulation? idk what I'm looking at here
One of the worst ideas to take hold was that an entry level job should support a family, a house, and a car, and be a 20 year career. You can get that $20 an hour, but it just leaves you in the same relative position of being poor as before, because prices have risen and everything costs you more. Now you need to demand $25 an hour....and round and round you go, amazed that you're still poor. The other thing about wages that seems rarely mentioned, is that the increase has to scale up the worker chain. You can't pay the entry level guy $20 an hour, and still pay the 5 year veteran the $20 an hour he worked up to. You have to bump all the wages up, up the line. So the labor cost increase is not just for the entry level workers.
My friends dad started at Bethlehem Steel making $3.00 an hour in 1967. Sent three kids to Catholic school, bought a house. Wife didn't need to work. Bought her a new car every 3 years. The problem is that if wages had kept pace with inflation the minimum wage would be close to $22.00. It all began to go downhill in 1981
@@jerlewis4291 thank you for your comment. People get it wrong all the time, like blame the poor for everything wrong. Thank you Reagan... While the salary of the rich has increased above inflation for the last 50 years to reach level never seen since the 1800 hundreds. But no you got to blame the guy who wants 20 bucks an hour to flip burgers....
Salary is just one of the costs of a business, price increase a lot more because of higher rent, higher food cost, higher equipment cost that salary. An employee can make hundreds pf burger an hour, the difference between 8 bucks an 20 an hour is like 10 cents more per burger.
I own a business in Texas. Nobody at entry level is getting 20 per hour from me. That's why we import workers that Love America and understand You Startat the BOTTOM
@@jtbaying2312 Good for you. I guess illegals don’t complain

It isn't just NYC, its everywhere.
Precisely.
Worse in California.
I live in New Zealand and McDonalds etc is no longer affordable, people still eat it though….for now.
Imagine living in NY or California where your hourly wage is (in terms of) comparable to a value meal. These people work for 1 Macdonalds value meal an hour.
Then people should aim for an education that will be productive in the future. I worked full time, studied at night and paid for my student loan once I was done with school. OR learn a trade and work hard do not stay with an entry level job because you know you can’t afford much with just that.
That's how it's always been
How can they afford to live??
@@carlataylor5573 That's not an answer, though. You still need low-skill jobs even in big cities. ESPECIALLY in big cities because you have more businesses.
"Get more skills" isn't the answer because they're not going to magically triple your pay for mopping the floor because you have a degree and the floor still needs to get mopped.
Unless you propose some sort of part-time burger flipper part-time nuclear physicist position.
Then there's the fact that some people simply don't have the drive or temperament to get higher paid positions. They still need work and they still need to be able to pay the bills.
They won't just disappear if there's no low skill position for them to occupy to earn a living. They'll be forced into criminality if there's no legal way for them to live.
@@AndragonLea In the 90's when I was a teenager, fast food jobs were for high school students making some cash and learning work ethic. Fast food jobs were NEVER supposed to pay the bills.
Dominos and all other fast food restaurants have almost tripled here in NJ as well. Disgusting 😮
You can eat all you want at Golden Corral for $12.99 that's the price of a combo meal at McDonald's now
Both are 🤮
I believe the New York government wanted government-owned grocery stores. Maybe that's why.

Back in the early 1990s, I was living in Brooklyn. One day I had to go into Manhattan for an appointment. I had been in Manhattan many, many times before, but I never stepped foot inside a Manhattan mcdonalds before until this particular day.
I was early for my appointment, so when I spotted a McDonald's, I decided to get a bite to eat. I had assumed the prices would be no different than the McDonalds near me in Brooklyn. I was wrong. The prices were astronomical.
I was originally hoping to buy a huge meal, something like a big Mac and large fries and a large soda and a large shake, but they each turned out to be too expensive. I had to settle for more cheaper items on the menu. I chose a couple of cheeseburgers and a small fry and a small soda.
I dont recall the price of the small fries or the small soda, but the cheeseburgers were 2 dollars each when in Brooklyn they were under a dollar. I blanched at paying even that, but I paid and made a mental note to never step foot inside a Manhattan mcdonalds ever again.
