Episode 104 of Stagflation Conversations with Fexingo examines how persistent high inflation and slowing growth are reshaping the fast-food value menu. Lucas and Luna discuss the June 2026 jobs report, the labor force participation rate hitting a 50-year low, and what that means for consumer spending on quick-service meals. They explore how chains like McDonald's and Taco Bell are restructuring their dollar menus, the shift toward bundling and loyalty apps, and whether the value wars of the 1970s are repeating. Specific data points include the 57,000 payrolls gain, the 4.2% unemployment rate, and the 2.24% ten-year breakeven inflation rate. The hosts also touch on how margins are compressing for franchisees and why private-label grocery brands are suddenly competitive with fast food. #Stagflation #FastFood #ValueMenu #Economics #McDonalds #TacoBell #Inflation #LaborForce #ConsumerSpending #Franchise #PrivateLabel #LoyaltyApps #Bundling #JobsReport #2026 #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
