>I for one am pissed that his fraudulent hit piece has made it impossible for more than one person to get SuperSize options and share them, resulting in potentially less overall calories than multiple other orders, along with cost savings and less work for the employees.
Is that really the hill to die on? Regardless of the results, McDonald's is under holy hellfire for more or less quadrupling prices over the last decade.
And of course those profits don't go to employees. When California increased minimum wage for fast food workers, layoffs all around. Hey, less work for the laid off! And more work for the survivors. Bonus: they then try to blame the price hikes on neeeding to pay their labor.
We aren't getting cheap fast food, and employees don't have it better. Morgan didn't really affect that.
I'm not dying on any hills – I'm just upset that the guy knowingly lied to the public, got rich-ish and famous as a result, and we all got screwed over for it.
If a forest has been leveled and I eulogize a particularly beautiful old tree that one was the pride of the land, the pedant who butts in saying “other trees died too you know” isn’t contributing anything much.
Given the order of the conversation here, I believe you'd be the pendant. The top of the chain linked to an obituary, and your first comment is essentially "he hurt my tree, good riddance".
Meanwhile, your tree is long gone by big corporate and Morgan at best swung a bat at it. You understand my POV here when I see that?
The root comment is concerned with details about the individual. I provided details about the man which were not included in the link. I additionally provided a personal anecdote about how the immediate impact of his life work directly affected me, and possibly the fellow reader.
You butted in to talk about how corporate business practices have changed over time in ways that by your own admission have absolutely nothing to do with this guy, and accordingly have no place in this thread.
