What "anti free market" activities were even going on in this video? Makes no sense. Does McDonalds just really like paying Taylor more money than they should for ice cream machines for no particular reason? And I felt like I was having a stroke from 26:00 to the end when he just keeps repeating the same thing in a poor effort to make the viewer think he actually came to an impactful conclusion.
"It's because there's an old relationship between between two old companies that don't want things to change." Great detective work there, McDonalds is known for wasting money and never adopting new technology like digital ordering machines to replace employees. This narrative just makes no sense.
Businesses trying to make money is not anti free market just because you don't like the way they do it, but that's not even ostensibly what's going on here. According to this guy one corporation, Taylor, is fleecing another corporation, McDonalds, and McDonalds is complicit in this even though he presented no reason why this would benefit them whatsoever. Maybe there is some convoluted way that McDonalds corporate benefits, but he never even attempted to figure out how. Instead he chalked it up to "old relationships." Which is incredibly flimsy because corporations have business relationships, not personal relationships where people are content to be leached on.
The only way this makes any sense as presented is if Taylor is somehow the only company able to make ice cream machines in the world and the person in charge just hates McDonalds for some reason.
That's how tightly controlled franchises work. They knew couldn't buy non corporate approved products when they bought a franchise and signed the agreement.
while Taylor and McDonalds profit off of red tape and buraucracy.
Please try to explain how McDonalds corporate profits from their franchises losing revenue and having to pay techs.
while McDonalds Corporate isn't on the hook for any of it.
You do realize that McDonalds corporate takes a percentage of a franchises sales?
Because McDonalds has a quid pro quo with Taylor. Theres a contract document that allows Taylor to to profit and scratch corporates back,
That's mere conjecture, but maybe its possible.
Price fixing and monopolistic contracts are bad for the private sector, as well as the franchise owners and the general public
What do you propose then? Banning franchise agreements?
If I were a franchise owner, Id be pissed off that I wasn't given informed consent on this problem that clearly exists to benefit a few at the expense of others.
If you were a franchise owner you would have signed an agreement with McDonalds corporate that says you must do things their way. That's the cost of being a franchisee instead of an independent business.
Frankly I don't care that much about the woes of a Mcdonalds franchisees ice cream machine. They are adults and they signed the contract. They aren't going to starve to death because their ice cream machine breaks a lot. If its that bad they could have opened a Wendys. Kind of like you could go to a Wendys to get a frostee instead of McDonalds.

Who is they, McDonalds corporate or the franchisees?
Are you serious? If you had actually even read my top level comment you would know the answer. Here's a hint: "26:00 to the end ."
