Well I guess that if your only opportunity of touching grass is at a country club, then they’re the most out of touch Americans who probably still think video games cause violence and swear Harvard is the best place for their kids/grandkids even though it was historically a puritan group who hated the idea of religious freedom. I guess when it comes to the top we aren’t all that different, so when it comes to the bottom and (the seemingly non-existent) middle classes they want us to hate each other yet come together like they do, but forget to realize that half of these lower class folks will likely commit acts of terror for a free tank of gas and a pack of marlboro reds. Inequality by class is the worst when nobody upper class even tries to see it.

Yep. Much like northbound travelers in the US South, when we see a low price we buy as much as our tank can carry.

Best part is mp3 even works with older media players like the usb port of 201X cars

Just make the drinks 75¢ and have certain hours where drinks are even cheaper to encourage sales. Corporations can find a way to make this work in more than just their favor. The last place anyone wants to get gouged is where they eat. I know it’s cheaper to cook at home, but after a year of working at a McDonalds I have concluded many people can’t cook, and thus have relied on automated means of foodservice. The modern drink dispenser at most stores is co2 powered mechanisms that automate almost everything down to just the push of two buttons, but the co2 is relatively cheap compared to the cost of plastic. They can cut corners because they already do, and the auto dispenser is a great example of why drinks should be cheaper because it’s faster to make them and no more refills should entitle us to lower costs as consumers. McD knows they messed this up, and it would be nice to see them lower prices and double down on some really cool automation tools, like an automated wrapping machine or maybe something even cooler that just does all our jobs so we don’t have to.
