A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

This reads like the wealthy realizing, in real-time, that the poor can't spend money they don't have, more than anything else. Like, no shit, dude.

Use your privileged position to make actual change if you care so much. He doesn't though, so he's not going to. Instead, he'll make sure we all know that we can get an entire combo for only $5. Wow! Truly a hero of the down-trodden, this fucking guy. I'd love to be proved wrong, but we all know where this is headed. His virtue signaling doesn't change that, just like it doesn't change that stunt he pulled with potus and all that it so clearly represented. Just more mealy-mouthed lies from another worm in a suit's all it is.

Gone are the days of well educated elites. Now we have the scourge that is the putrified remains of ruling class’s shit.

Enlightened self interest? How about unchecked greed and moral bankruptcy instead?
