I am thankful for the role McDonalds and other commercial third spaces play in the lives of many, especially poor Americans.

I'm also deeply sad that this is made necessary by insufficient social resources and poor land use. It's even nicer to have community centers and parks that can serve this purpose without the need for purchases.

It's also nice that they provide employment for cultures without apprenticeship opportunities but, again, a bit sad that it's necessary.

In summary: nationalize McDonalds! ;-)
