Few people realize this, but the US government actually subsidizes a specific McDonalds in Odesa to the tune of $1M/year. The calculation is simple: in my ideal policy regime, that specific McDonalds would be $1M/year less profitable. I think we can all agree that it's ridiculous for the government to subsidize specific McDonalds restaurants. Consequently we should adopt my policies.

That McDonalds is such a blight on the street that having to look at it causes a million dollars in decreased happiness.

Is this sarcasm, or is there an actual fast food restaurant in a Ukrainian beach town that is subsidized by the feds as a relic of some cold war era propaganda campaign?

Sarcasm as the reason there is a million dollar subsidy is his imagined policy regime.

Odesa, UA or Odessa, TX?

I'll go with Odesa because that adds more flavor to the analogy.
