$21 per hour is good for McDonald’s workers in Denmark.

It is not so good for McDonald’s customers in Denmark. The Dollar Menu there is called Coinoffers because items cost 10 kroner, which is the second-largest coin. It is worth about US$1.84. So Danish customers on a tight budget have less access to "The greatest food in human history."

But it's good for me, because the Danish Big Mac is overvalued by 12%, helping me out with my wager!

It would suck if there was some sort of major externality that killed the market for Big Macs right as your wager was coming to a close.

Dude, that sounds like a threat. Are you shorting burgers?

Damn that does sound kinda ominous rereading it.

Maybe I've got some info on Mad Cow Deux that I'm not sharing.
