McDonald's: $18 Big Mac was 'exception'

> McDonald’s is fighting back against viral tweets and media reports that it says have exaggerated its price increases. > > In a post on the company’s website Wednesday, McDonald’s U.S. President Joe Erlinger said reports suggesting the price of the average Big Mac has doubled since 2019 were false. McDonald’s said the average U.S. Big Mac was $4.39 in 2019 and now costs $5.29, a 20.5% increase. > > Erlinger acknowledged that he and many franchisees were frustrated by a post on X last summer about a Big Mac meal in Connecticut that cost $18, calling the price “an exception.” > > McDonald’s saw a marked slowdown in store traffic in the first three months of this year as inflation-weary customers in the U.S. and other big markets ate out less often. > > “It’s clear that we — together with our franchisees — must remain laser-focused on value and affordability,” Erlinger said.

  • Are there qualifications to be a Justice? Do you have to be a lawyer or attend law school to be a Supreme Court Justice?

    The Constitution does not specify qualifications for Justices such as age, education, profession, or native-born citizenship. A Justice does not have to be a lawyer or a law school graduate, but all Justices have been trained in the law.

  • I kinda wish Sonic Youth would update lyrics for Youth Against Fascism. They can keep the verse about Clarence Thomas, though.

  • Regional pizza
  • This popped up in my recommendations yesterday. There's a ton of regional styles I've never heard about. Ohio Valley is in there. At least that's recognizable as pizza. Some of these stretch the definition pretty thin.

    What's the difference between the two instance filters? If they are the community and user instances, how do I tell them apart?
