I don't understand why McDonald's is valued at $100b. Personally, I don't eat hamburgers, so they get no money from me. After all, it's irresponsible to eat junk food. So I have to ask, do they even have revenue at all? How are they still in existence?

If i remember correctly the biggest asset of McD is property they own.

McDonalds has a huge amount of revenue! Are you kidding us?

Whoosh.

I asked about revenue. His ironic comment completely missed the point.

He's satirizing your comment.

The idea being that just because you don't find inherent value in something doesn't exclude others from finding their own value and additionally triviality doesn't necessary preclude others from claiming value.

It's the argument of a two-year-old. I asked about revenue, not about personal value.
