A McDonalds hamburger costs $2.09 at the register. McDonalds internal documents show that the raw materials (patty, bun, etc.) cost $0.34. A McDonalds employee makes $11/hr on average with a shift manager making $15/hr. Shifts are 8 people on average. That means McDonalds pays- "The U.S. isn't fascist" brother we have three branches of secret police, paramilitary death squads, governmental immunity from its own crimes, and a government run by the wealthiest and most powerful corporations in the world

The labor market of Brazil is artificially depressed by fascists like Bolsonaro, who are put into power by US interests to keep prices low. US monopoly capital also destroys the quality of life in imperialized countries because this
- Replying to @primarycatdadis $1.75 attributable to the work of the McDonalds employees in the store. We can divide that value among the 8 workers, and weโd come up with 21 cents per hamburger created by each one. However, letโs look a little more carefully, not merely from the point of view of the
