Bleeding it dry? There was a thread in Mastodon recently proving there's a massive supermarket cartel driving prices in Austria higher than in surrounding countries and the government took the side of the supermarkets.
ÖVP has been in government for decades. There is nothing they want to change in regards to these topics, because the status quo conforms to their ideas.
McD is hella expensive, especially if you have to live of of it.
A 8-10€ basic menu is good to fill in a single meal, but while having a ton of calories, doesn't satiate enough to count even as a full meal (which is on purpose so you order more). At my local prices, you're looking at 13-15€ minimum, to have a satiating meal out of McDonnalds.
