McDonald's reports quick-service restaurant traffic down nearly double digits in 3Q for lower income consumers, up nearly double digits for higher income consumers

 But overall guest counts were contracting at McDonald's, which must mean the lower income traffic drop overwhelmed the increase from higher income consumers.

The traffic trend down for lower income consumers has persisted for almost two years, according to the story. 

CNBC here. 

... “Amid industry pressures, dynamic change, and aggressive competition, winning the fight for contracting traffic means staying customer-obsessed,” Erlinger wrote in the memo, which was viewed by CNBC. The company did not immediately respond to request for comment. ... 

“While we maintained a positive comp guest count gap, overall [guest counts] continue to decline-- underscoring the need for disciplined pricing, value, and affordability,” he wrote in the memo. ...

Speaking of North Dakota, in 2016 Tulsi Gabbard used to hang around with Occupy Wall Street and Bernie Sanders types there lol

Your new Director of National Intelligence, ladies and gentlemen, whom Bernie assured us in 2019 was no Russian asset.

Donald Trump was just a working class stiff flipping hamburgers a few weeks ago, so Tulsi hanging with the left eight years ago is no big deal, right?

 

The Washington Post has decided not to endorse anyone for president even though we literally have Adolf Hitler running against Kamala Harris lol

 

What a coincidence: Newsweek and now the CDC go after McDonalds

The greatest troll in U.S. presidential politics

 

In what will go down as the greatest troll in U.S. presidential politics, Donald Trump put on an apron, scooped up some fries and blew a hole in the HMS Harris-Walz. ...

And if you don’t understand what Trump did at McDonald’s and that it was a breakthrough in this campaign, then you don’t understand Trump or the country. ...

The cook who was too old, too tired and too senile to be president took the entire contents of the freezer bag labeled “Democratic Party” and emptied it into his metal basket.

Then he deep fried it in hydrogenated vegetable fat.

Feelings decide presidential elections, and Trump just made people who eat at McDonalds feel good

  . . . feelings decide presidential elections, and the almost gleeful anti-American thrust of Biden’s presidency has given more than 60% of potential voters a feeling that we are on the wrong track as a nation.

More. 

 

The biggest loser of the Trump-McDonalds stunt

 

Even Trump's astroturfing is better than Kamala's

Trump serves french fries gently seasoned with liberals' tears lol

 

I guess Kamala Harris doesn't want the disgusting, dirty votes of Bucks County, Pennsylvania

 

Talk about joy!

He's doing the fries

He's manning the booth

He's serving the food

to the people that live there.

 

Woe Woe Woe Woe

Meow Meow Meow Meow

Nominal GDP for 1Q2024 was revised down $28.6 billion in the second estimate today: What's the big picture?

 Nominal GDP came in at a revised $28.255 trillion.

Sounds like a lot, right?

Here's the big picture.

From 1947 to 2000, nominal GDP grew at a compound annual rate of 7.26%.

From 2000 to 2024, nominal GDP grew at a compound annual rate of 4.42%, 39% lower.

The year 2000 marks the US opening to China, and the great wealth transfer out of the US from the middle class under globalism, creating new middle classes there and elsewhere.

We are poorer for it, but we have lots more billionaires now and you can read all about it on your Apple iPhone made by slave labor while you eat your 40% more expensive hamburger from McDonalds since 2019.
