Ronald McDonald is a capitalist.

In the Fascist States of America, a McDonald’s techbro named BigBallz voice will serve you a burger with no beef, charge you double, and call it freedom.

You ask, where’s my Mcplayground? Well, it is outsourced, replaced with a sad bench on which a crying Ronald McDonald sits, holding a sign about liability.

There really is a lack of kids-themed restaurants. Rainforest Cafe, Old McD with play places, You'd think they'd be able to keep a place that caters to families open.

They'd need to charge amounts that families can afford for that to work.

Typical family with kids can no longer afford to eat here since the business model is to maximize shareholder value. So it makes sense to rebrand to the only people who can afford it.

the menu prices are insanity.

last time i was in there, they wanted 3 bucks for the shitty little burger they used to sell for 99 cents.

Not even getting started on 10 dollar bigmacs and other stupidity.

someone got tired of mopping up all the jizz from the ball pit.

Dude those ball pits were special, they don't exist anymore. Disease infested suffocation hazards, but special.
