It's funny how McDonald's was the crown jewel of Western capitalism/imperialism. I remember media saying that having McDonald's in your country means you are modernized and pro "democracy" and that your country is an ally of the west.

Now McDonald's is a sign of corporate greed and western dominance over your country. I guess that's what you get for letting a real estate company make and sell burgers.

Hopefully, this death dealing business model goes the way of the dodo.

Not just Western dominance. American dominance. We need to rid ourselves of these corporations, even in Western Europe.
