How many mcdonalds does it take for you to realize they're always going to place the cheese on the burger fucked up?

I hate how they paint Ray Croc as the bad guy. Those 2 faggoty brothers would NEVER have turned McDonalds into what it became. They were just too dumb to leverage it.

Roy Croc was a visionary genius. If the Mcdonald brothers were still in charge, no one would remember the restaurant today.

He was a genius at what he was trying to do. But he was also clearly a bad guy. The brothers weren't interested in turning it into what it became. It'd be like some flim flam man getting Leonardo DaVinci to put some of his work on postcards and then, through deceitful means, ordering him to stop painting and making him crash and burn without paying him anything. Sure, the guy has a postcard empire but DaVinci was still the artist.

They absolutely were interested. They actually tried to franchise McDonald’s out, but didn’t have the business savvy to make it successful.

True, I meant they weren't interested in watering down the product in order to achieve their franchising goal.

Indeed, but that’s on them for not protecting their business legally. It’s not Roy’s fault that he was smarter and had a bigger vision than them.
