(Natural News)—McDonald’s Chief Executive Officer Chris Kempczinski has announced that the fast food giant will likely “revamp” its value meal as President Joe Biden’s economic program, also known as “Bidenomics,” continues to strain the wallets of lower-income customers.
In July, McDonald’s reported a decline in same-store sales for the first time in nearly four years, a drop attributed to tightened consumer spending following prolonged periods of high inflation. In response, the fast-food giant introduced a $5 summer deal in June, designed to offer an affordable option for customers struggling amid inflation and high interest rates.
The limited-time meal deal, which includes a choice of a McDouble, McChicken sandwich or a 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, along with a small fry and soft drink, has been well-received by customers. And now that customers continue to grapple with economic strain, McDonald’s extended the offering until December.

“We’re committed to keeping our prices as affordable as possible,” Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s USA, said in September.
McDonald’s is also releasing app-exclusive promotions, including a fried chicken sandwich for $2. Kempczinski is also looking at ways to do a complete “reset” or overhaul of its value offerings, noting that the number of $1, $2 and $3 menu offerings has shrunk in recent years amid rising food and operating costs.
In line with this, Kempczinski also noted that chicken, a food way cheaper than beef, could play a key role in offering more affordable meal options.
“It’s easier to deliver value on chicken products than it is on beef products,” he explained, adding that beef prices are currently more than twice those of chicken on a per-pound basis.
“We’re starting to talk about 2025, and my message to our teams has been: ‘We need to be preparing for another challenging year,'” Kempczinski said. “We need to be making sure that we’ve got a really strong value proposition in all of our markets.”
Harris will continue Bidenomics despite its negative consequences if elected president
In an article for Zero Hedge, Tyler Durden wrote that economic conditions for low-income consumers are expected to worsen through the end of the year, particularly due to potential increases in energy prices.
“Economic conditions for the working poor will only get more challenging through the end of the year. MCD reports third-quarter earnings on Oct. 29. The lingering problem for consumers is an energy price shock at the pump could materialize if Israel begins bombing Iran’s crude oil export facilities. Consumers need to buckle up,” Durden wrote.
Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) noted that “Harris would not have changed a damn thing” from the policies of the Biden administration.
“If you think four more years of Harris won’t mean the same high gas prices, inflation, open borders and crime, I’ve got oceanfront property in Oklahoma to sell you! Kamala Harris admitted she wouldn’t change a thing from Biden’s disastrous policies,” Weber posted on X, along with a clip of Harris’ guesting on ABC’s “The View” on Oct. 8.
In other words, there will be no respite for these economic strains if Harris wins in November.

Preparing for the Unexpected: Your Essential Partner in Health Readiness
In an increasingly unpredictable world—where supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, and global travel can leave us vulnerable to sudden health challenges—being prepared isn’t just smart; it’s essential.
That’s where Jase Medical steps in, offering innovative solutions that empower individuals and families to take control of their health with emergency medication kits designed for real-life scenarios. As someone who’s always advocated for proactive wellness, I was impressed by how Jase Medical combines expert medical guidance with convenient, customizable options to ensure you’re never caught off guard.

This powerhouse contains five life-saving antibiotics and five vital symptom-relief medications, capable of treating over 50 common infections—from respiratory issues and skin conditions to traveler’s diarrhea and more.
What sets it apart? It’s fully customizable with 28 add-on options, including a specialized KidCase for children ages 2-11, making it ideal for families.
Whether you’re stocking up for home emergencies or preparing for remote adventures, the Jase Case provides peace of mind with medications that boast extended shelf lives—up to five years or longer when stored properly, with studies showing 90% potency retention even after 20 years.
For those on the move, the Jase Go travel med kit at $129.95 is a game-changer. Curated by physicians, it addresses over 30 common travel ailments, from digestive upsets to minor injuries, ensuring explorers, hikers, and globetrotters can handle health hiccups without derailing their plans.
And for targeted concerns, Jase Medical offers specialized kits like the UTI Kit ($99.95), which includes test strips and treatments for urinary tract infections, vaginal candidiasis, and even jock itch, or the Parasites Kit (starting at $199.95), featuring compounded Ivermectin and Mebendazole to combat internal and external parasitic infections.
But Jase Medical isn’t just about one-off kits; their Jase Daily service provides an extended supply of your ongoing prescriptions, supporting hundreds of medications for chronic conditions like diabetes, heart health, high blood pressure, mental health, and more. This ensures long-term preparedness, safeguarding against factory shutdowns or extreme weather that could interrupt your regular supply.
The process couldn’t be simpler or more reassuring. Start by customizing your order online, then benefit from a thorough review by a team of world-class physicians who ensure safety and accuracy. In most cases, prescriptions are issued after a quick consultation—sometimes just a call to clarify allergies or needs—and your kit arrives discreetly at your door. While they don’t accept traditional health insurance, many customers use HSA cards, and refills are available for added convenience.
