Miriam BooshBut I thought they had to raise prices to combat revenue loss due to inflation and wage increases. Does this mean—wait, no, but maybe corporations are lying to us?
Bananabread@Miriamm et tu McDonalds
Elizabeth Moore🇨🇦@Miriamm You think?

smells of bikes@Miriamm I feel like the difference between inflation and covid profiteering is essentially zero from our perspective.
Jonathan Clede@Miriamm Look how successfully they combatted that revenue loss! 😳

Corporate America is testing the limits of its pricing power
Across the economy, executives trying to maximize profits are effectively running tests to see what prices consumers will bear before they stop buying.

Gatekeeper..
Q. Edwards@Miriamm the real kick in the teeth is despite the increase in prices people still continue to purchase from McDonald's and every other place that has steadily increased their prices. We're all to blame because we can't collectively stop buying.
the_blackwell_ninja [EST]@the_blackwell_ninja @Miriamm you're absolutely right.
trisweb@Miriamm FIFTY NINE PERCENT INCREASE, holy shit. Where’s the outrage?
snott@Miriamm it does seem possible. Maybe.

Big Head Tales@Miriamm
I keep reading about all these giant corporations that pay little to no tax raising prices to gouge consumers and then reporting record profits...
Must be a coincidence that they all did this at once?
Mark@Miriamm Don't eat at McDonald's and you'll live longer and save $$$. Pretty sure both those are facts.

Canadian Crone@Miriamm lies are SOP now. From politicians to corporations, honesty has been dumped in favour of whatever propaganda they want us to sell us. It’s amoral and immoral.
@Miriamm McDonalds would never lie to you, there is no one more trustworthy than a clown.

Oh great! I can't wait for those sweet millions to trickle down to everyone working hard enough. That's how it works, right? RIGHT?!

Aral Balkan@Miriamm What? Corporations? Never!
ENIGMATICO 
@Miriamm I'm more concerned about people still wasting money on McDonalds after they increase the prices. Now they will increase them further and other companies will follow.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 cweickhmann@Miriamm No, no, they just got a little carried away counting their money. Don't we all, love? 🤷
Jenkins@Miriamm competition is dead => capitalism is broken.
DavidPetraitis@Miriamm Hard to believe, I know. But they are lying to us.

Chris Wagner@Miriamm no doubt corporations are fleecing us but can we objectively compare 2020 to 2021 with regard to restaurant revenues?
