Awkward writing in this article. "McDonald’s executives say the higher costs of restaurant essentials, such as beef and salaries, have pushed food prices up..." Beef and... salaries? I think I found the name of my new fast food place.

  It’s weird two have those to things in the same category. Beef is.. not at all similar to salaries. The only overlap is that they are costs.

    They are inputs into a business. I agree that it's bloodless but it's very typical of business language

Crazy how nobody ever talks about bonuses or executive pay or stock buybacks. Oh, I guess those are just the cost of doing business, eh?
