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!

Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.

If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask "wtf is this" and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can't live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.

It is trainig for probation and work release.

There's a show, maybe on CNBC, where CEO's put on a disguise and work as fresh hire trainees at their own companies. They talk candidly to their co-workers and either fire their ass, or give them thousands of dollars to accomplish their dreams, maybe pay for education. I have no idea how authentic it is, but I imagine if Trump did this show it would be him who was fired at the end. And then arrested for reckless endangerment.

Like all reality TV, it's more fake and staged than fictional TV.

Undercover Boss, and it's the most Corpoproganda thing you've ever seen. Tried watching an episode, they fired a guy for being addicted to drugs and talking shit about the boss for "Not knowing what it means to struggle"

The boss proved it by firing him. Didn't offer him drug consueling, didn't pay for rehab, nothing, and the way they edited it made it look like she was doing him a favor.

Complete clown show.

Yeah. I figured. I mostly hate reality show dreck, but the idea of him in it amuses me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Yus.... He would not have been allowed only to enter because of his unprofessional blabbering

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It was supposedly 15m, but I think that may be an exaggeration just like every thing else this broke ass sob I bragging about

They also closed the whole restaurant so that only Republicans that were screened first could come to the restaurant.

He took orders (I don't know if it was plural) in the drive through. The people filmed, and asked him to raise the minimum wage, but you know how he answers questions when hes on his adhd meds.

It was a glorified photoshoot, I wonder if it cost extra money to be allowed the privilege to attend and maybe have his dandruff in your fries

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But that wasn't even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can't believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald's.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This mcdonald's was not owned by mcdonald's. It was a franchisee who owned the restaurant. One that has actively publicly campaigned against increasing the minimum wage. Now you know why it was allowed to happen there

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't think as a franchise owner you can just use the McDonald's name, or can you?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That franchise owner is 100% going to catch heat for allowing this to happen without a corpo stamp of approval.

Good. Fuck 'em.

“McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue – we are golden.”

suuuuurrrreee

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

"We are for corpo tax breaks".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You may very well be correct, but do you not think this person thinks (I hate putting the two following words next to each other) president trump will protect him? Of course the incontinent orangutan doesn't give a flying 🦆 if people who lick his 🍑 gets in trouble on his behalf
