I know you and I disagree on ideology most of the time but this isn't even ideological, it's basic fact.
If you can't understand the difference between the McDonald's Corporation (MCD), and the individual franchise owners (franchising being one of the most common business models on the planet), as distinctly separate entities, then none of the rest matters. And the fact that you would say something as ridiculously absurd as: "Franchisees aren’t struggling. Fast food franchises make tons of money, apart and aside from their sheer money laundering capacity" is pretty indicative that you're well out of your depth here.
That must be it. It’s not that McDonald’s is in the restaurant business, it’s that the legal theory it’s not is so far beyond my ken that I’m just not capable of understanding it. Thank you so much for explaining what franchising is for me. You know how the world of business simply dazzles me. I can see how you would want to save your time for people that defer to your tremendous depth of knowledge in dubious legal interpretations. As for franchisees, on that point you can just suck it they’re high cashflow businesses whose owner-operators tend to be the most affluent local business people in their communities.
The beauty of franchising is just that. Deniability. Holds up every time. Though I do not think you would have built you business around that, nor do many, at least that is my hope.
