Don't you just love the way socialism does so much for the working man and the poor? How much do you want to bet that this thread will bring down a hail of abuse against McDonald's from the resident forum commies?
The good news is McDonald's is finally bringing back fries in Venezuela, after getting rid of them last year, according to the AP. The bad news is the regular will cost about $79 (500 bolivars), according to the country's strongest exchange rate.
Worse, a large will cost about $126 (800 bolivars).
The exchange rates were calculated at the time of publication.
Still, at Venezuela's black market rate, these prices would be $0.64 for the regular, and $1.15 for the large, according to Fusion.
However, at the black market exchange rate, Venezuela's minimum wage is only about $13 per month.
So, with those numbers, one large fries would cost nearly 9% of a person's monthly wage.
