Our family was priced out of fast food in the US about two years ago. It’s both too expensive and much worse than it was in the past. We got generally priced out of family dining before that, so this was just the natural progression.
I work harder than ever and we just keep sliding down the economic scale. We lost the class war.
One of the rule of war is that it’s a “Two No, One Yes” situation. To avoid one, both sides have to say no. Either side can say yes and then you’re in a war whether you want it or not.
The rich said yes, the middeclass/below said no and we lost by default.
My whole life (now too many decades) the media propaganda has been saying how great deregulation, no taxes, and business-style government leadership is. Too many people believed those lies by the rich. So, here we are: in a new Guilded Age and making peanuts for our labor while our children’s future is quite dim.
I’ve found fast food in the US is actually quite a bit more expensive and worse quality than locally owned places. I realize not everywhere has access to those options though, especially outside urban areas

Well yeah how can workers win class war when they haven’t been fighting it in generations??
