If only your graph reflected McD hash brown pricing.....




Tripling in 7 years is NOT corporate greed.  Keeping the price high after supply chain issues have long been fixed is NOT corporate greed!  Ignore the man behind the curtain!

What do you call something that is priced artificially low for decades and dosesn't track the rising cost of the manufacturing inputs?
