Yup. These companies take trillions of dollars in corporate welfare, and then use some of that money to lobby against social welfare. They use our own money to bribe the government not to do things with our money that benefit us.

I can't even comprehend the magnitude of this rate

The worst part is we all pay for it

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.
Save your breath. The people trying to save the planet only ever suggest things that would destroy society, as if they don't live in a house and go to the grocery store same as the rest of us. It's always some 10 second thought of an idea. Not: let's re-educate rural Americans and create food programs that benefit them so much it only makes sense for them to be vegan. No, far too much work. Let's just make burgers more expensive. Cause, ya know, then people couldn't afford them. What a half baked, dumb fuck idea. We. Are. Doomed.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but casual snack?
It's a small burger my guy
Then again I'm 6'4" so maybe my perspective is skewed
I think he means in terms of a dollar menu item which sorta disapeared with the latest inflation.
