“Recently, we have seen viral social posts and poorly sourced reports that McDonald’s has raised prices significantly beyond inflationary rates. This is inaccurate. And for a brand that proudly serves nearly 90 percent of the US population every year, we feel a responsibility to make sure the real facts are available. I can tell you it frustrates and worries me, and many of our franchisees, when I hear about an $18 Big Mac meal being sold – even if it was at one location in the US out of more than 13,700. More worrying is when people believe that this is the rule and not the exception, or when folks start to suggest that the prices of a Big Mac have risen 100 percent since 2019.”
“The average price of a Big Mac in the US was $4.39 in 2019. Despite a global pandemic and historic rises in supply chain costs, wages and other inflationary pressures in the years that followed, the average cost is now $5.29. That’s an increase of 21 percent (not 100 percent). Inflationary pressures have affected all sectors of the economy, including ours. Our franchisees (who own and operate more than 95 percent of all restaurants in the US) set menu prices for their restaurants, which account for the increased costs of running their businesses,” says Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald’s USA division, in a statement clearly meant to interfere in the 2024 election by lying about the price of a Big Mac and not holding Joe Biden directly responsible for it.
Erlinger should be placed under immediate investigation by patriotic FBI agents and prosecutors who disagree and believe that Big Macs cost even more than 100 percent more than they did when President Trump was in office, before the wealthy non-Christian globalists who control the media rigged the 2020 election with negative coverage and suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story.
This is basically the same thing: McDonald’s suppressing the real truth about price increases in order to tilt the election to Joe Biden. They might as well be handing out free Big Macs in exchange for registering to vote at locations in Democrat-heavy, urban areas. Someone should subpoena Erlinger to find out if that’s what he’s up to and even if he denies it and there’s no evidence to prove that he’s covering it up it would still feel true. After all, if he’s going to try to lie to the American people and say Big Macs aren’t $18 then it’s reasonable to assume he’s got more sinister plans.
National Zero will resume our regular coverage after this important update on a new threat to election integrity from the woke mind virus-superspreading corporate communists at McDonald’s.
