mcdonalds national impact summit

we are so close to renaming military units after sponsor corporations i want to see the 1st Wal Mart Division in a parade before I die

[–] Sleve_McDichael@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Weren’t there crypto currency ads at that pathetic military parade this summer?

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah that was a sign that we're getting closer, but I want the units to start getting renamed.

[–] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

I'd prefer military getting golden arches tattoos rather than the bolts.

If Nintendo sponsors the Waluigi Brigade I’m volunteering just for the purple overalls.

you gotta hand it to the franchise system. mcdonalds extracts rents on the franchise owner's location while keeping them in a captive market for all the corporate inputs, marketing materials, and ever trickling upgrades and demands a certain level of revenue + tribute, but assumes none of the corporate liability for the franchisee exploiting and degrading their workers.

and they totally have these petite bourgeois mini-tyrants believing, not only, that they own something worth owning, but that they're being civic-minded and conscious toward their community.

Franchises are basically feudalism. Lords pledge themselves to King McDonalds and are provided a permit, they can then run their fiefs mostly how they want but have to carry out the King's laws verbatim or else. They owe regular tribute and will be called upon for various commitments (wars/special deals).

We're in fuckin ~~1320~~ 2004 motherfucker. You are a ~~serf~~ worker. removed, you live in ~~Alsace~~ Arkansas. You are a ~~peasant~~ fry cook. You need to give your fuckin' ~~lord~~ general manager the ~~grain~~ mcdouble....

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

Interesting point. The employee commitments are proletarian, but the franchisee commitments are feudal.

the insidiousness of the franchise system is truly otherworldly and once you see it, you can't go back

Non-zero chance that the atomic bomb dropped on either Caracas or Mexico City will be called "Big Mac"

I hope you're not anywhere near the lathe

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

The lathe eventually comes to us all. We must try not to tempt fate.

Funniest part of the speech was where he talks about the B-2s as if they were dive bombing Iran's nuclear facilities like some kind of world war two raid on Japan lmao. Seriously, watch it. "Skedaddle"

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Do you think he watched the remake of top gun where they do exactly that?

[–] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think Top Gun: Maverick vs the reality of the airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, is the clearest example of the saying: "fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history".

You can’t look at this guy’s fucking mug in front of the words “McDonald’s National Impact Summit” and tell me that we don’t deserve some kind of divine punishment.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah i read this and then had to go back and read again, and again, and again at least like 4 times. this can't be real, right?

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

this isn't even the only thing in the last 2 weeks like this, I can't remember the others but it was similar like, CVS-Walgreens Peace Deal Summit type naming and focus, like what the fuck is going on lol
