Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Their food has gone horrible anyway so I have not been to McDonald's in months.

Their food was was always horrible, but it was cheap, and that combo worked for me. Now they cost the same better quality restaurants, so I go there instead. I haven't eaten at a McDonald's since 2002-ish. Are you saying their food somehow got even worse?

Cheap but horrible food has never been worth it to me. When I was a broke teen and up until college, my friends and I would go to McDonald's for food but I only get the paprika-seasoned twisty fries in my country, chicken wrap, apple pie and the occasional cheeseburger. They were the only good McDonald's food. Now, cheeseburger has gone shit and so is the chicken wrap. The apple pie is still good but I could get better alternative somewhere else. And the twisty fries had been taken off the menu. The only reason I remained going to McDonald's until recently was because their breakfast menu was great. But as you guessed it, it became horrible as well.

Same here it’s been a decade or 2. I started making my own version of the McMuffin at home. Cant beat deli ham, brown eggs and real brick cheese with real maple syrup on a whole wheat English muffin. Takes less than 10 mins while the hash browns are also cooking in the air fryer. I noticed when I ate McSmegs I was hungry about 1/2 hr later. 2-3 hrs with home made.
