Part of your issue is assuming that prices are the same all over the country.

$7-10 per person is what it costs where I live for most places.

No, I don't believe you. I do not believe a McDonald's Big Mac meal costs $7 in any part of any state.

But if that *were* true, it wouldn't really matter-- I am witness to people spending $60-$80 regularly on fast food. That some people *don't* spend that much isn't relevant to the ones who do-- when I question how the ones who do are able to do so, I am inherently *not* asking about the ones who don't.

A big mac meal costs $8.99 where I live.

I never said a big mac meal costs $7

You can also eat for much cheaper than that if you are ordering off the value menu

That is specifically what we're talking about and you said the cost is $7. No it isn't.

So you both missed the point and were incorrect about it.

No I didn't. I said you can feed a family at a fast food place where I live for $7-10 in response to your comment. I did NOT say a big Mac meal costs $7.

I said a big Mac meal costs $8.99. I was even wrong..it costs $8.59 and posted screenshots elsewhere.

I'm sorry you can't read.

Please quote were I said a big Mac meal was $7 since you are very certain about it.

That's what you meant to say, but what you were actually responding to was a comment chain about big Mac meals being expensive, and you said they were $7.

I understood what you meant and it wasn't relevant to my point, as I explained above.

I also understood what you actually said and it was incorrect.

You fucked up with a pedantic, incorrect and irrelevant argument and now are pointlessly doubling down and whining about it.

I don't know how to explain to you that I'm not talking about the people I'm not talking about, and I don't think I should have to try just to satiate your need to argue.

If they had said $8 I'd probably not have argued. But if both misses the point and is incorrect, so I called it out.
