I have a feeling that Luigi, a working class hero, won’t be going to McDonald’s ever again lol

Some might not consider him working class.

But yeah, unless they start having McDonald’s at the commissary (which now that I think about it, is not outside the realm of possibility) he probably won’t be eating at any restaurant ever again.

He should have gone to a no extradition country. Not Pennsylvania.

Does that title really require someone to be FROM the working class? I always thought it was more about who they fought for.

Take Che Guevara, for instance — the guy was from an upper class family who could afford to send him to med school. So was Marx, whose father was lawyer with a comfortable income who could afford to have all of 9 children (though not all of them survived). And John Lennon, who wrote the song that inspired the meme, had already had an enormously successful musical career and was quite likely a multi millionaire by that point.

Also, Bernie Sanders is a millionaire as well but still widely considered a hero by the working class because that’s who he fights for.

Point is, my understanding is that “working class hero” isn’t so much about the class membership of the hero themselves, but it’s simply whomever the working class considers a hero. That can of course include members of the working class as well (say, firefighters who risk their lives saving others, for example).

“millionaire” is not quite the same measure of impressive wealth that it used to be. A million dollar “millionaire” from 1974 is equivalent to 5.4 million dollar “millionaire” today.

Heres a calculator if you want to check against your birthday https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1974?amount=1000000

Seems like lately whenever theres an awful event in the US, mcdonalds is somehow mentioned. Its like pure evil emenates from the place.

They still do have the best fries though, I have to admit-- although a large fries is $5.44 now. Evil.
