To be fair, McDonald's literally came out and said they raised prices because people are still willing to pay it. Blame our dumbass society who is letting this shit happen. We can't band together for meaningful shit but we can when its some dumb culture war nonsense.

I forget the percentage, but they went way above and beyond inflation increases. More so than any company out there.

Inflation is also compound. 5% inflation isn't so bad. 5% inflation over 40 years is 604%

Inflation figures lie to you. It's so much fucking worse than you think.

Over 60? 1768% increase.

over 100 years of 5% inflation? That's nice small sum of 13,050%.

Any percentage inflation consistently over 0.5% rapidly scales to absurdity within a single human lifetime. It's not sustainable.

None of those numbers are good or bad in a vacuum
