My 2 cents on McDonald's 1 - it's illegal for franchisors to set prices 2 - restaurant price increases exceeded CPI due to labor inflation (minimum wage increases, FAST Act) and because the government undercounts inflation @ewarren @SenBobCasey @RonWyden $MCD

TWO restaurant bankruptcies this morning. World of Beer, once one of the fastest-growing chains in the U.S., and Buca di Beppo, still one of the most garish restaurant chains in the U.S. restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/worl…

1 in 7 adults is a millionaire in Switzerland. That's 5x higher than the US. I had to find out their wealth-building habits. 7 ways the Swiss think about money to become richer than you:

A couple of FED rate cuts won't help low-income consumer spending. Not one bit. In fact, by re-igniting inflation it may do more harm than good. There's no catalyst that will improve low-income spending. Hopefully weakness doesn't spread to middle-income consumers.


In F2Q Starbucks only had enough potato cheddar and chive bakes to roll out to 2k stores and in 3Q they ran out of pearls for the energy refreshers. What a disaster. On the bright side they didn't mention overnight sales or a 4-week app upgrade cycle on this call LOL

I have said many times…”there is a ceiling in price increases but you don’t know what it is until you break through it” McDs broke through it a while ago….so did others

McDonald's says customer visits to fast food has "meaningfully slowed" but says that "factors within our control" contributed to its weakness last quarter. "Most notably our value execution." Company says it is taking "meaningful actions" to assert its value leadership. $MCD

JD Vance is for “states rights” so the odds that Trump changes his tune on cannabis (like crypto) and decriminilizes cannabis just went up significantly..

this is so F Ing easy. Two big vices gambling and alcohol are left up to the states. Why not cannabis? Just decriminalize cannabis and you can win an election. It’s that easy. $TOKE $MSOS
