Bit like labour here. Ex pm and present pm are socialist. About to be slaughtered in election in a few weeks. There's a joke going around .

YUCK!!
Probably in retaliation for the US banning oil for Venezuela. You can't buy our beef, and I can't buy Cuban cigars. Politics.

You and Karadekoolaid need a "businessman" to run your country. We have one who may be looking to leave the US before long. I'm sure Trump can fix all your problems in NZ and Venezuela. After all, capitalism is 100-percent perfect. Just look at our health care system. The best money can buy (as long as you have a lot of money). The opposite of socialism is social Darwinism... survival of the fittest. That's why Trump, and other billionaires, don't pay federal income taxes. We wouldn't want to "punish success," right?
The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.
Personally, if I hated the country I live in, I'd leave it. But, I love my country, warts (including McDonald's) and all.

I forgot to add that we also have some exclusive sundaes, like sundae with "doce de ovos" (sweet egg cream) or with "doce da casa" (a dessert made of cream, eggs and biscuits), both are traditional portuguese desserts made with egg yolks.
Portugal has a lot of desserts made with egg yolks. Nuns in convents used egg whites to iron priest's clothing and stiffen their collars, and they were left with a surplus of yolks that they turned into sweets and sold for a profit. These are called "conventual sweets" and comprises over a dozen of different desserts and pastries, all cloyingly sweet and made with egg yolks.

We are way off topic, but it depends who you ask. To some people, paying taxes is socialism. I guess they expect everyone to build their own roadways and have their own personal police and fire departments.
On the other hand, there are some people who expect government to control the weather and cure male pattern baldness.
Both are living outside of reality.

Other than the Sausage McMuffin with Egg breakfast sandwich, I have no use for McD's, either. I always started my road trips with one of those. Their coffee is pretty good, too, and less than half the price of Starbucks.

I'd really like to try those!
When I stay in Bangkok I'm usually at a hotel in Asoke area and there's a McThai right next to it, so I usually end up there after some drinks. Last time I was there they had the Triple Cheeseburger:
Yes we do, plus at Chinese New Year they have a variant called the Prosperity Burger. Again - too much sauce (black pepper in this case)...
Sausage & Egg McMuffin is one of my go-to hangover cures. In Singapore the sausage patty is actually made with chicken so that it's Halal. I didn't know this for years and having come from the UK where it's pork, once had a heated discussion on its composition with a colleague of mine, which I eventually lost.
Yes - McD coffee is as good/bad as Starbucks (i.e. adequate) and costs much less here too.
