Today in how not to get gas prices down on the West Coast news, it was announced that California is on the precipice of losing two more major refineries that produce 14% of the state's gasoline due to suffocating regulation.
Valero may shut down its two California refineries, according to Just The News.
With existing closures already requiring California to import 8% of its supply, the state could soon face a greater dependence on refined imports, adding to its reliance on Middle Eastern and South American crude.

That is how California fast food restaurants can stay above water while paying their workers $20 an hour.
In the Florida panhandle it is $15 an hour.

Read on Wolf Street website that PCE or overall inflation is 2.1% for last 12 months as reported today by the federal government.
Looks like most of that is attributed to lower gas prices. I paid $2.64 a gallon in Panama City today.

about 8.5% annual inflation for that burger from 2008 to present day :-/
that restaurant (Flavortown Kitchen) is in Huntington Beach, California, so I'm not surprised of this
working class can only afford to live in near-3rd world conditions in California

that Flavortown Kitchen (in Huntington Beach) probably pays $20 an hour to its entry level staff (not servers)
at Dat Cajun Place ( https://datcajunplace.com/?page_id=428 ) about 3/4 of a mile from the shoreline in Panama City Beach , they pay at least $15 yet the food is just as good quality food and a patty melt burger with fries there goes for only around $12 and $11 for the special-of-the-day
it costs to rent a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, +1 car garage within 2 miles of Dat Cajun Place for about $1900 a month

It's been decades since McDonald's would would overstuff their fry containers brimming from the top. These days they lay the container on its side and only layer in one or two layers. It's not like they are stacked deep like you would get pouring them in a bag.
I bet if you poured the contents from the vintage pack and a current one from the drive through. I bet you would get more fries in the vintage container.
The paper bag also budged and flexed out, allowing more volume the cardboard does not. Those boxes were designed to look like you got more than you really did.

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.
EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'
