  • Interesting video. I’m glad others have realized how similar the two burgers are.

    When comparing the value of the two, I always look for what it costs the business to make rather than how much satisfaction it provides to the customers. That’s a great way to identify if people are getting scammed without even realizing it.

    Soda and fries, for example, are total scams. They cost the company pennies while the customer pays dollars. But what’s a meal without fries and a drink? And businesses bank on that.

    Same thing for a Big Mac. Most people say “it’s the mac sauce,” but you’re still getting the same amount of meat as a mcdouble with some shitty lettuce, more bread, and that sauce. The only thing that really costs the company money is the meat. You get the same amount of meat in a McDouble as Big Mac, but end up paying twice the price.

    It’s a scam, even if people say the Big Mac is still better.












  • The problem with the Western middle class is they’ve been conditioned to think they’re part of the ruling class.

    They believe that the ruling class’ successes are their own, until it’s time to get ready to go to work the next day.

    They see themselves as above poor people and believe they’re entitled to more before those who have less.

    They always believe the solution to their problems is to make more, not spend less.

    The issue isn’t just capitalism. It’s not just greed. It’s a culture of consumerism. Hopefully anyone who has been around for a few decades can recognize how much the social landscape has changed in favor of encouraging people to sell themselves out as quickly as possible.

    We are living in the most negative of peaces.
