First off, I don’t really know a lot about the guy who tossed out this asinine opinion.

In any case, I’ve seen the same thing said by enough economically illiterate people/socialists (but, I repeat myself) that it’s worth addressing: So, in order to answer the question properly, we should start by noting that working at McDonald’s is an entry-level job. It’s generally thought of as a place for high school students and people with minimal experience to learn the basics of work. This seems to fit fairly well with their workforce since, per an article about fast food workers in general (not just McDonald’s), about 30% of fast-food employees are teens and another 30.7% are 20-24. Although by some estimates, as few as 1-5% of McDonald’s workers…Open

Federal food-safety inspectors arrived at a Taylor Farms processing facility in central Mexico almost four weeks after the agency identified the company's iceberg lettuce as the source of the largest cyclospora outbreak in American history, a delay that raises hard questions about how Washington protects the food supply. The FDA announced Wednesday that it had opened an on-site inspection and sampling operation at Taylor Farms de Mexico's plant in Guanajuato, coordinating with Mexican regulators on the ground. It was the agency's first visit to the facility since 2019, a seven-year gap during which the plant kept shipping lettuce to some of the biggest restaurant chains and grocery stores in the country.

AI:FDA inspectors finally arrived at a Taylor Farms processing facility in Guanajuato, Mexico, nearly a month after federal investigators linked the company's iceberg lettuce to the largest cyclosporiasis outbreak in American history. This massive delay highlights a systemic failure within federal food safety oversight, as the agency has not inspected this specific plant since 2019 despite its widespread distribution to major chains like Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Walmart. The outbreak has resulted in thousands of illnesses across multiple states, including two deaths, while significant discrepancies exist between CDC data and Michigan state reports regarding total infection counts. Amidst the crisis, scrutiny is mounting over a $1 million…Open

The actor who played Woim in the 1994 hit The Little Rascals spent his teenage years working fast food inside a Walmart, a choice he says reflects how little money most child stars actually take home. Blake Collins was nine years old when he appeared alongside a cast of kid actors in one of the most quotable family comedies of the 1990s. By fifteen, he was wearing a headset and punching in combo-meal orders at a McDonald's, fielding double-takes from customers who recognized him between the fryer and the register. Now 41, Collins works behind the camera in Hollywood and has started talking publicly about what child fame actually looks like once the credits roll. In a recent interview with People magazine, Page Six reported , Collins…Open
