On the McDonald one.

Some 60 years ago, according to publicly available data, you could buy 6 burgers at 60 dollar cents each at McDonald's for an hour's wage working as a staff member for McDonald's.

Nowadays you cannot afford a single burger even after working there for an hour.

Staff are not getting paid less relative to the value of the food because they work less hard, they are getting paid less because the shareholders and CEO want bigger yachts.

How it started, and how it's going.

According to a New York Times screenshot I saw in a Tumblr post (for whatever that's worth), right before he was shot, he'd just been asked how many mass shootings he thought there'd been in the last decade and answered by asking whether the querent were counting or not counting gang violence. If the poster invented that shot screenshot, they need to be drummed out of the Subtle Fiction Writers' League post-haste, and if they didn't, that needs to happen to the entire writers' room at the Reality Studio.
