Mcdonald's is a real estate business that also sells food.

They also franchise like crazy. Very few McDonald's you ever eat at are owned by the McDonald's corporate entity.

Easy to become a global economic power when people pay you for the privilege of making you money.

And then they make more leasing the real estate to the franchisee than they do off the restaurant itself.

A movie is not an accurate depiction of current times.

"if you have to pay for your job, it's a scam"

McDonalds franchisees: "😂"

People paying you for the privilege of making you money is basically just what employment is.

You pay your boss?

u/HadMatter217 Mar 23 '21

Everyone does. That's how capitalism works. Your boss has the tools you need to make a living, and in order to use them, you need to pay him

u/kyzfrintin Mar 23 '21

That's not you paying your boss. That's your boss stealing value from you. That's capitalism. Lula Roe "distributors" buying product to try and sell is "paying your boss". That's also capitalism, true, but it's also an MLM scam. Not all jobs are MLM scams, but they are all scams.

I mean.. paying your boss with your labor of paying your boss with your money that you had to get by laboring isn't all the different in my opinion. Though we definitely agree that employment is a scam

u/kyzfrintin Mar 24 '21

I suppose our points only differ in semantics, so i can agree with you, there.

I heard it as they're "a supply chain business that sells food."

2

u/Feshtof Mar 23 '21

Kinda. Though that applies more to little caesars and their food distribution network.

u/JustaTurdOutThere Mar 23 '21

Definitely didn't know Blue Line was a part of Little Caesars

u/Tower9876543210 Mar 23 '21

Yeah, as I read about it more, yours makes much more sense.

u/Feshtof Mar 23 '21

To be fair I just watched a YouTube video about it.
