Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Great job, everyone! Remember to support locally-owned restaurants over these corrupt US food monopolies.

Snip:

McDonald’s has lost over $7 billion in revenue due to a boycott campaign initiated by pro-Palestinians around the globe against Israel’s barbarism in Gaza.

The confirmed losses were highlighted in a recent report by Israeli financial media.

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, a grassroots initiative, has targeted McDonald's due to its support for Israel's campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The current boycott campaign against Israeli goods began in October 2023 after McDonald’s in the occupied Palestinian territories announced it had donated thousands of free meals to Israeli soldiers.

almost too big, it makes me kind of skeptical of these numbers

It might be true, but it also might point to a more global recession that nobody is really talking about, less so than Palestinian causes. They have raised their prices so high these days that most people I know go to Taco Bell instead.

Yeah I’m sure the boycott was part of it but part of the reason it was so easy to boycott is I couldn’t afford to eat there anymore anyway
