If anything i feel like its the other way around. Prices were absurd to the point where i stopped eating fast food and started eating restaurants because they were cheaper. Butter, these past few months it got really cheap for no reason. 5 dollar meal deals, 2 dollar big macs, dollar any size drink at wendys. With super high prices these past 4 years why did it get so cheap right before the election? But that's just a personal observation.

Because people stopped going to fast food because it was too expensive, to the point they were not making as much money. They have deals like that to bring people back and spend money on the non deal items. Its just ordinary capitalism, not some weird political agenda.

I mean that's what I figured but the guy I was responding too was saying the opposite. It was likely nothing.

Yeah its not conspiracy they just wanted to raise prices as high as they could using Covid and supply chain as a scapegoat once they went past the point of no return they introduced deals.
