Monday closed doors and every company with 500 employees or more will start lay offs into 2nd Q
Fuel will rise and the crash starts next Friday April 7th

Your on it but ill venture you something else. It already has begun, every nation no longer excepts the dollar. The dollar is what kept the central banks nazi boot on your necks while they deployed the SS IRS agents to collect from you what never belonged to them.
They Feds are powerless without the dollar, Americans are the only ones still using it. The Global QFS has been fully funded and operational in 200 other nations.
Currently making America among the very few third world nations left to join?
If everyone else is already on it, what will it take for people to recognize they have been liberated from a life time of financial slavery from the most evil men on the planet??

The old swift system has been in free fall for over a year now people. Its hard to believe more people dont know things are already changed for the better.
Stockholm syndrome got ya down??coffee4 Take a deep breath and repeat after me.
We are quite literally financially free. But the awakening isnt keeping up with the flow of colossal revelations. Maybe something a bit more convincing??

The restaurant is architecturally ugly. They painted all the ones around me gray, looks like a prison.
 Quoting: Agent 99


This aspect of many fast food chain restaurants has come up before as well. Why are they using these dull colors and
boring, very antiseptic designs. They are depressing and I doubt it creates more of an appetite. Even as a cost savings in design they could at least use better colors and make things less depressing and dull.

Although they were before my time, I love the look of the stores that were first built in the 1950s with the arches at each end of the store, they probably didn't cost too much to build, and they were bright, had a decent amount of glass, and decent amount of energy and character in them.

They were one of the corrupt cult food chains that were "essential" whereas small Mom and pop's type restaurants were forced to close like the little Cafe 🍽️ m my small town that everyone loved.c forced to close and when they resisted they got penalized many thousands of dollars in fines. But corrupt McD’s got to remain open for business as usual.
Walmart was deemed “essential” but our small town private owned businesses all got forced shut. Some of them never opened their doors again, permanently closed.
Our small town Children’s dance school, owner gave up trying to do “virtual dance classes.” Lost just about everything and the owner left with her family to another state. All thanks to the collusion to tear down small business owners and ruin America.
I hope McD’s goes absolutely bankrupt and closes forever or at least until they get new owners who are not corrupt and serve real food.

Yes they were great, but they were much smaller inside. The arches were big and bright but the building didn't have much room.

Also in the 70's and 80's people wanted to be "sophisticated" and get away from bright colors. It wasn't a good idea.

Your delusional and likely know no international people with wealth. More then half their assets at the very least are in American based companies who use, guess what? The dollar. The dollar is and was meant to be the beast system. All this talk is just to convert the world to a new currency. And it won’t be Chinese or insdian or Brazilian. It will be global. They want to crash everything then people will beg for the governments to do something. All assets will be revalued in their system that they have always and will always control.

Sure there will be winners and losers but the majority of the middle class will be wiped clean. There’s no way to prepare for that.

Or, in this case, lose money. It is no longer an automatic win for the area to put in a McDonalds.

Would be interesting to see the value of those locations go down and they have to sell some for cheap, which get bought
by entrepreneurs who can open more interesting restaurants.

Thing is back before the late 1970s, the food was actually decent, if not healthy and the majority of staff and customers were White Europeans, so the quality of the food, staff, and store were all excellent in general...

McD's been woke for over two and a half decades at least so I don't care what happens to them anymore.

I find Jack in the Crack as objectionable. Years ago in Seattle area 3 kids I believe died of e. Coli after eating at The Crack. Forcing them to say we cook the shit out of our burgers. Same sort of staff and management. The commercials for stoners that they use to use were entertaining. McDonalds just worse because more ubiquitous but no real difference in kind.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85556884

Back in the day they hired local kids. I had a job at McD's for about a year in high school. I cooked good french fries.

Then during I think the Clinton administration, those places were more or less forced to hire full-time workers, and who does a job like that full-time as their career? So inner city people became the staff at stores in the suburbs, and it wasn't as nice an experience generally. I think it's gotten a bit better over the past 5 years or so, more pleasant, more local kids, less racial hostility even when they're not local. Maybe during the Trump administration they were able to go back to more part-timers.

This is a really good article by the Buisinessinsider
about the early days of McDs with good photographs too.

Look at that early menu, that's what made them do so well,
basic menu, quality ingredients, good service, consistently.
How far the company has drifted from its humble and honest roots.

I see this. If you could not get a job anywhere else, you could always go to fast food especially McDonalds. Now, this seems to be questionable. It appeared that McDonalds was recession proof. This is a very, big development.

McDonalds was a place where kids were supposed to work at and learn responsibilities and advance in life.

That's true! Back when they first started in the 1950s
it was mostly teens that worked the grill and cash registers, but 20-30 something that were shift managers and that job did pay decently at the time too. Of course it also is about
White European Culture of the 1950s, most people had a work ethic, and pride in what they did, and respect for others, especially paying customers, even teenagers did back then...
You absolutely won't get that from bl@k and brown culture, although it still does exist in Asian culture to day, especially in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
