    Our family was priced out of fast food in the US about two years ago. It’s both too expensive and much worse than it was in the past. We got generally priced out of family dining before that, so this was just the natural progression.

    I work harder than ever and we just keep sliding down the economic scale. We lost the class war.

      I’ve found fast food in the US is actually quite a bit more expensive and worse quality than locally owned places. I realize not everywhere has access to those options though, especially outside urban areas
