Let them eat burgers! Austrian chancellor says low-income families should eat at McDonald’s

It's not healthy, but it's cheap: a hamburger at McDonald's — €1.40, if I buy fries with it, €3.50.

3.50€ for a meal isn't cheap and nothing a poor person can afford on a regular basis. I can cook a great meal for under 2€ that doesn't consist of trash. What a detached asshole.

I remember another time a rich leader offered dietary advice to the impoverished citizens. Let's just say some people really lost their heads.

"So what does it mean that a child doesn't get a hot meal in Austria? Do you know what the cheapest hot meal in Austria is? It's not healthy, but it's cheap: a hamburger at McDonald's — €1.40, if I buy fries with it, €3.50. Now someone is seriously claiming that we live in a country where parents can't afford this meal for their child," he said.

"If I have too little money, I go to work more," he added in the video, which was filmed during a wine-and-cheese event near Salzburg — with no burgers in sight — his conservative People's Party confirmed to Plus24.

i hope he chokes to death on a piece of rotten cheese in his wine cave

Nobody in our country voted for that tone deaf asshole either. He was just "stepped in" as an interim after our prior catastrophe of a chancellor stepped down (Sebastian Kurz - He also made it to international media for his corruption).

Before representing our country as chancellor, this piece of shit was minister of the interior. - while being in this position he was just as useless as now. Words cannot describe how much I loathe this guy.

Are you enjoying your capitalism?

Did they go looking doe the most smug, I'm-an-asshole expression possible for that guy, or does he just look like that?

Idiot. That's neither healthy nor sustainable. What's his vision for his country?

What on earth happened to all the small businesses in my "poor" rural village? Oh right, that pedestrian unfriendly stroad next to the freeway with the Walmart and all the fast food restaurants sucking up the village's life force happened.

"Communism is when no food"

Capitalism:

Who tf can afford to eat at McDonalds, have you seen their prices lately?

mcdonalds is not cheap though

His face is so incredibly punchable

This is another way to tell people to go kill themselves.

Low-income families should eat long pig taken from the rich.

Not sure how things are in Austria but where I live fast food is really expensive for someone strapped for cash

Is McDonald's cheap anywhere other than the US? In the US, there's a bunch of promotions that drive costs way down...

I mean it's one Big Mac, Michael, how much could it cost? Ten dollars?

Jesus. Throw that bad nutrition at them. Go on.

Nothing new for Austria. Lived there for 30+ years, it's downhill and corruption all the way.

Not cheap at all. And really bad for health, so doubly costly.

I propose that we should eat this austrian chancellor instead.

we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror

McDonalds is disgusting

this line of thinking has never backfired on aristocrats before, and certainly not Austrian aristocrats specifically

Death to America

Mao was right.

I never hear anything about Austria. And when I do it is this asshole?

I am gonna take a guess at the dude has never seen what fast food did to Americans. Because he's as stupid as his statement.

Austria delenda est
