The Ronald McDonald house charity does the things our tax dollars should be going to. Putting a for profit company between the public and social services is just free advertising and good will for the company.
I thought I might finally escape this dumb myth when I left reddit, but no…
Please, anyone reading this, including you @DrMartinu@lemmy.dbzer0.com , do five seconds of actual research into this myth before you ever perpetuate it again.
This. Is. Not. How. Taxes. Work.
When you make a donation at a store, that is your donation. You can claim that donation on your taxes.
Dang and i thought I’d get away from the corporate simping when I left reddit.
Does Ronald paint his dick white too?
I just tried to do my own research and instead all I found were corporate press releases about it and a FLOOD of people complaining that they were rounded up without permission. Like, thats all that comes up when you start looking for recepits that include the donation. Yikes, guess I’m going to have to demand my receipt every time and double check they’re not just STEALING from me instead. Maybe 16 year old fast food workers just shouldn’t have a ‘randomly charge me extra’ button at all.
Thanks, redditor, but I’m definitely going to repeat the lie later. And you’re going to keep getting white paint all over your face.
They need to get the fuck away from the cash register with their corporate beggaring. The gall of some billion dollar company to flash sick kids up on screen every time you open your wallet is insane. Do you think the billionaires in their yachts that were paid for by big macs are looking at sick kids when they’re served hors d’oeuvres?
And here you are, another fucking Poor, rambling on about tHaT not HoW tAXeS wOrK. I bet Ronald smacks you while you’re down there.
What am I supposed to be buying to treat myself once in a while if I can’t afford to go to a proper restaurant? Or are you suggesting there are cheaper burgers than McDonald’s shit?
I dunno’, if you’re buying McDonald’s overpriced flavorsponge products, you can’t be that needy. (not that McD’s deserves the round up what so ever)
The Ronald McDonald house definitely deserves money

Every charity is evidence of where capitalism has failed us, and how it needs fixed.
To be fair, the Ronald McDonald House is a fairly good charity, at least in my opinion. They were very helpful when my newborn son was in the NICU.
To be fair, you aren’t donating anything when you round up. You are simply being charged more, and McDonald’s makes a higher profit.
Then they get a fat tax break for taking the extra profits they weaseled from you and donating it to…their own charity.

Most people are not itemizing their deduction anyway.

Such a stupid take.

Something actually good?
The local bodegas (deli/convenience store) do a burger and fries for like $10. I don’t eat McDonald’s but that seems pretty close in price.
My local Banh Mi place gives you a big ol’ sammich for under $10, and it’s a fucking masterpiece of delish.
