    We subsidize all the wrong things. A McDouble is out of reach for most as a casual snack without subsidies, and arguably it should be out of reach so plant based alternatives have a chance at competing. Same with oil. Should gradually roll back the subsidies so people can have time to switch, but they should still be rolled back.

          It’s not “making burgers more expensive.”

          It’s “stop making burgers artificially cheap to continue bolstering the already rich to the detriment of literally everyone.”

          Society is destroyed regardless of whether or not you can get a burger for an hour’s worth of minimum wage. Sticking your head in the sand and demanding that no one offer solutions if they have food, housing, and clothing, or drive a car, is disingenuous.

      McDouble

      casual snack

      I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but casual snack?
