Cross-posted from āToo Bad, So Sad, Too Late - McDonaldās tells U.S. restaurants itās not a āpolitical brandā after Trump visitā by @JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee in !news@beehaw.org
Excerpt:
Though President Donald Trump visited a Pennsylvania McDonaldās location on Sunday, the fast-food giant is trying to stay neutral in the presidential race.
āAs weāve seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation in this election cycle. While weāve not sought this, itās a testament to how much McDonaldās resonates with so many Americans. McDonaldās does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President,ā the company said in an internal message viewed by CNBC and confirmed by a source familiar with the matter.
I havenāt eaten at a McDonalds since before covid, and I donāt really miss it.
If McDonaldās isnāt political, they should have that as part of the brand standards to which franchisees must adhere.
McDonaldsā opposition to unions is political.
When youāre door is open to fascist demagogues, itās not open to everyone.
If your company platforms racists, itās a racist company.
If a Nazi sits at a table with 9 others and no one objects, there are 10 Nazis sitting at that table.
So I can have my local McDonaldās close for several hours while I get some vanity pictures of me standing in front of a fryer?
But also you must leave within 30 mins or itās loitering and you will be trespassed.
Allowing everyone behind the counter serving food to unknowing customers sounds like a massive health code violation.
Without a hair net or hand washing in Trumps case. Photo op is gonna get yāall sick and youāll deserve.
They donāt care. Nazis have money too, and McDonalds doesnāt discriminate.
