    They are mostly independently owned so it's not McDonalds corporate but the "small business owners".

    They were forced at gunpoint to work in Mcdonalds? That's quite a story.

    If not they have to take a lot of the blame. If they had some agreed-upon compensation for overtime they could win that, though.

    Whiner should have to pay the American worker he displaced by exploiting our government's favoritism toward foreigners. We have unemployed families living in parks and cars who are far better workers and won't whine.

    I'm not quite understanding this.

    Low cost immigrants improve your products all the time.

    FIFY.

    Nothing kills a home's value quicker than a remodel done by unskilled labor.

    if by "improve" you mean "lower the consumer price of", then that statement is true

    The real exploitation is the govt. printing so much money that inflation is making it so McD is the only affordable food for too many people. And McD, facing super high meat costs, will turn to horse meat.

    You want to destroy our purchasing power with inflationary tactics, ok. But most people aren't in favor of that.

    Nope, I want unhealthy food that tastes better.

    I am in good shape so I can eat whatever I want. You just made the same stupid mistake Bloomberg did.

    Anyone hear ever try horse meat? With all the recent discussion of horse meat in the national news, I was curious if it's any good.

    Yes, I tried it along with donkey meat in China. I thought both were leaner than the beef we consume in America.

    No, but really. Is horse meat any good? I don't care about it being lean. I don't choose based on how lean it is. I choose by the taste.

    Yes, horse meat is good to me because I like the taste of lean meat.

    That should be concise without the cultural references.
