28. What everyone is not mentioning...........

Each item has increased tremendously at McDonalds, but no one is mentioning "SHRINKFLATION" of ALL their food items.

If you consider everything being 2/3rds the former size, the new prices are considerably worse than what they claim are the prices.....
The Fast food chains are all battling for massive profits.........Much smaller versions for even higher prices. They just don't understand that they are pricing themselves out of business, with their main audience..............

Everyone who can afford their prices, should boycott them permanently..........Hit the wealthy republicans, who own most of the franchises, where it hurts.......they are already making much more due to the Republican's/Trumps tax cuts..........

People say Boycott the Corporations........If you boycotted the Corporations that put Trump/Republicans in control, you probably wouldn't be able to buy Anything......

The simplest definition of FASCISM, is the merging of Corporations and Government, and we are already there, folks.
I am waiting for Trump to rename the United States of America, to the United Corporations of America........

But at least try to quit utilizing the Corporations, like fast food, that you can do without.............
