The McLocal Plan

February 4, 2012 | Filed under: Videos | Posted by:


Rather than fighting McDonalds, local food activists are creating a plan to bring factory farming home. Urban chickens? What about urban poultry plants? Raising cows for market? What about deforesting swaths of upstate NY for cattle herding and production. Think of the jobs this could bring! Why settle for a retail store and outsource the real labor? These are deep questions addressed by the McLocal Plan.

  2. @TroybusinessOwner Well lets protest the city, not McDonalds. At the end of the day it’s Troy that would grant these subsidies, which I have heard nothing about until your post. It’s kinda like the subsidies the our governments grant to forigners to start a business, while not giving the people that claim citizenship in this country the same treatment. Everybody blaims business, while letting the folks that right the laws that govern these businesses a free pass.

  3. And I’m paying taxes just fine. McDonalds might offer to change its aesthetics, to pay for the paved roads because of the traffic problems its going to cause on Hoosick Street, however, we have to keep in mind that The City will also create subsidies to an already rich corporation when its not really fair.
    The taxes that the city makes will only be taxes I would have collected from the same demand for fast food.

  4. I don’t think that some of these images are going to promote some “normal” people to change their mind about McDonalds, but I think these “activists” have a valid point.
    As a Troy Business Owner, McDonalds taking away from my RPI Pizza business will affect me. I can’t compete with a corporate giant.

  5. Would you and your group of marxist friends be willing to pay the difference in tax income to the city if we set a community garden up in the vacant lot?
