Also the photographer of these unique crocodilian shots is Dhiritiman Mukherjee.

McDonald's were hiring hundreds of children, as young as 10 years old, to work in Kentucky locations as recently as 2023.
McDonald's business model, like others, is predicated on exploiting child and farm labor, and to let them get away with this is frankly insulting to the legacy of Dolores Huerta

They never did.
