Business model no longer works.

McDonalds has been losing money for a long time and only in recent quarters began to improve earnings. Now they do... what? Radically upset customers and turn their business model upside down?

End of discussion?
I added some more things to the post, and deleted some.

Well.

I probably think, living costs are lower in the USA, overall. As you said, it's a different culture. That's probably why I deleted the "End of discussion" part.

Yes, businesses(Like McDonald's.), should try to make money and earn a net profit. I agree with that, if that's what you are saying?

Nothing bothers me more, than businesses who constantly take investor money and never, or almost never, makes a profit.

Year after year.

The same thing, you know what I mean?
