The $20 dollar bill is the new $5 dollar bill.

"…You’ll admire all the number-book takers
Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
And you wanna grow up to be just like themDon’t push us cause we’re close to the edge…
Yo back in 1982, rappers bragged about driving big cars and spending 10 dollar bills.
$10
50 is the new 20.
As in, today’s 50-year-olds can afford the lifestyle 20-year-olds could afford a couple generations ago.
I’ve been keeping track of my own “Taco Bell Index” since tacos were 59¢.
“First they took the Baja sauce away and I did nothing”
I was very upset when they got rid of Verde sauce. But then they replaced it with a better one that has avocado in it so I stopped caring. Just wish they didn’t charge 25¢ each for it…
By all means vote, but if you don’t want Taco Bell charging that much then stop buying at that price. You are also voting with your wallet. I don’t understand people complaining about how the prices of things are unacceptable while they demonstratively do accept them.
That idea only works if there are cheaper options available or going without is possible. If there’s no place to get cheaper food you still have to eat. In my experience food is expensive everywhere.
Fast food should be the first thing you drop, it’s honestly sad that these companies aren’t dying out as their prices match actual restaurant price, for way worse quality (sometimes)
So like… don’t eat?
Like eat groceries
Fast food people are addicts. Addicts cannot be reasoned with.
Back in my day a beefy five layer was 89 cents. I could walk into a tacobell with 2 dollars and walk out full with some change
Now the average Taco Bell outing is $10-12 for me. And that’s if I only order the value menu stuff. It’s considerably cheaper than any other fast food option, but still too expensive.
My family has sworn off Subway after 3 footlongs and chips cost us FORTY-FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS recently. I can make sandwiches at home, assholes.
While they pay their employees absolutely nothing. Where the hell is the money going, because it’s certainly not going into quality ingredients.
That’s EVERY major chain. They all deserve to burn in the hottest pits of hell now.
Fuck capitalism is the ideology of the heartless swarm…
But you’d be hungry again in an hour after it went right through you.
I don’t think that part has changed.
I think you are thinking of Chinese food. Taco Bell sticks with you for a bit. Or at least it used to.
Or it will give you a malaise feeling, preventing you from eating the rest of the day.
“You can take my freedom, but you will never take MY GORDITAAAA!!!”
Better than nothing, but just barely. The general election is past the point at which you can choose the progressive candidate. If you’re able to choose between a progressive and a fascist in the general, congrats, you’re in an area where progressives have been able to get enough support.
If your choice is between an establishment centrist and a fascist, yeah, please vote for the non-fascist, but your support to get a progessive on the ballot might’ve been fucking nice to have, yeah?
VOTE BLUE as the only option against fascism, but if you’re only voting in the general election, you are supporting fascism. Vote in the primary. Give your support outside of voting - canvassing, protesting, even standing up for progressivism online - whatever you can do.
in the 2000’s kebab was 2,50€. Now it’s 8,50€ and cheap disgusting meat.
8.50€ for the most basic version, without fries or drink. Fuck a kapsalon is like 15€ now in NL.
It doesn’t matter if it’s cheap or expensive meat they both feel the same when I fuck it.
But surely you eat it after you add your homemade sauce
The cheap disgusting meat situation is really the worst part of it all.
I’m blown away at how fast food companies are still operating with these prices. At that price point I can get an awesome meal with better quality.
Meanwhile in France…
France doesn’t have a large population of the country jerking off their gun and ammo collection every night praying for a chance to use it.
The same population that was out shooting people during BLM protests are the same ones opposing action now.
You guys need to start shooting back.
- Good
- Cheap
- Fast
Choose 2.
lmao, most fast food chains are none of that
A meal at a similar restaurant will usually cost much more and in more time.
This was not directed at the consumer but the company.
Taco Bell, et. al have lost the formula they’re trying to do good and fast but not cheap. They forgot who they are.
Considering how cheap stp is in surprised more fast food isn’t putting it to bump up their meat that would drastically cut down cost without a huge noticeable difference specifically with the taco bell beef.
People are agree because it’s no longer cheap but the price doesn’t warrant what you’re getting cause it’s still fast food lol
Average Treatlerite.
I would not be able to contain my rage if somebody said this in front of me
Voting for what? If you keep voting D/R it will just be the same song and dance as the last 60 years.
