A lover of great design, creative people, and the world that makes cool things. Frequently found nerding out in the materials that turn into other things.
Part of the reason the public remains ill-informed is because of piss-poor media framing. The framing of this makes it seem as if McDonalds has no choice but to raise prices because of higher costs all around. It took one Google search to discover that McDonalds has raised their prices at more than TRIPLE the rate of inflation since 2014, well before the pandemic. The company also recently created more low-budget menu items because customers complained about the prices, stopped frequenting them as much and as a result, they took a rare loss in profits.
The issue isn’t that McDonalds is facing higher operational costs. The issue is that McDonalds got greedy, customers got sick of it and they’re using the media to spin a different narrative. Bad journalism.
@WICKED_Musical I can’t believe I only just saw this for the first time last night. It was exceptional!!! Thank you so much for the performance last night in Grand Rapids and I can’t wait to see it again! :)
@MishyNatalie@thoughtfulmandz@EricIdle Maybe check out Monty Pythons flying circus too… a truly brilliant comedy show. Eric and his compatriots are treasures.
@eastcoastelaine @SlateGabfest@davidplotz Yes, and I am fully expecting the most interesting post retirement announcement from @davidplotz today. After months of these, we deserve one more.
@davidfincher, you seduced us with your phenomenal Mindhunter, and we’re left wanting. Season 3 please? Pretty please? We haven’t even hit the climax on this great story yet.
@AppleTV@Roku Here’s the technical issue… When Dolby Digital stream is turned on, it’s trying to send the AppleTV audio to Roku’s private listening output, which means you can’t hear any audio. When stereo stream is on, private listening works. Can this be fixed?
@AppleTV loving the shows! Can you get the team on the bug in the Roku system that keeps us from listening through the Roku app and/or the Roku remote?
