Yeah, this. The 5-layer was introduced as a very low priced item even at the time.
Also, the $5 footlongs destroyed subway. Yeah, things are inflated now, but I remember the 5-layer quickly rose in price to like 2.99 after only a year or so.
I also remember dollar burgers being a thing and stopping and realizing how incredible they really were in human history that we got there at all (efficiency) and that they couldn’t and wouldn’t last.
Damn. Now that I think about it, the 2012ish “fight for $15” minimum wage for burger flippers and the corporate pushback political campaign and that rhetoric, the 2006/2017 metoo movement and the conservative political campaign and that rhetoric, and the 2011 occupy wall Street protests all sort of catalyzed into Trump. Jesus.
… It’s like… All of this, right now, is pushback and retaliation because society just wanted to be a little better.
And the 2020 tech workers rights improvements, where people were quitting together and actually pressuring employers, and now the corporate tech real estate pushback that we’re currently experiencing. Holy shit. All of the bullshit is just billionaires throwing around their weight and sinking their claws and teeth further in. Even the anti trans rights rhetoric now is PUSHBACK because that threatens to upend their house of cards of faith and hate by making people question stuff and realize it’s all billionaire bullshit. GOD. DAMNIT.
