      The bourgeoisie have a scarily decent grasp on class solidarity. Instead of competing, you know they’ll follow suit.

      Even so, fast food joins are already expensive for the value they are offering. We are like 3 meals away from a riot. They will probably wait and see Wendy’s quarterly earnings before following suit.
