Why is fast food so fucking expensive all of a sudden
Is this related to the russian war or something?

The real question is, why isn't minimum wage increasing?
And to those who scoff at the idea, doing so would ultimately increase non-minimum wages as well.

Fast food chains rely on mass mobilization of huge amounts of food from all over the place. The price of diesel has gone up, so there's that factor.
Another fee factors is the economy as a whole, fast food wagies were pretty much striking across the board, so wages were increased, then inflation hit the markets...
And then finally cost of farming went up.

It's a bunch of things, but the main one is cost of shipping and farming has gone up exponentially.

It's a combination of inflation and price gouging. The cost of food and fuel is up compared to last year, but not enough to justify the 30%+ price increases your seeing at plenty of fast food places. The cost of meat at the grocery store is only 5-10% more expensive than it was last year. Many of these large corporations are reporting record profits this year, too. This bullshit isnt gonna stop until you fat cucks stop letting these greedy McAssholes financially rape you. Vote with your wallet and refuse to play their bullshit game.

I don't think we should have a minimum wage. If retards are willing to take a job for 2 dollars an hour then they deserve to make that much

Yes most is reliant on seed oils and grains which Russia and Ukraine are major producers. The US produces most of its own supply but the market price has risen. Coof inflation also spiked prices for major foodstuffs.

I stopped eating fast food in college when Taco Bell's 5 layer burritos shot up in price and that was a little less than a decade ago. You noticing a thing does not necessarily mean that the thing is new.

I'd tell you to be less poor but you're apparently against that.
