Money coming inside of Belgium is a good thing. It funds development. This building has a renter. Aunt Marie burgers and frites’ money is being used elsewhere in the country for other development.
The pie got larger.
China became relevant because of foreign capital. Nothing else.
We should motivate foreigners to pour their capital into Europe.
There is no capital moving in. It’s not a new factory. It’s not a new technology. It’s not a novel product that didn’t exist before. They don’t even export anything. They pay the rent with money from their customers, just like anyone paying taxes in Belgium would. There is only capital moving out.

So from a bit of research. The place is owned by Carl Goris. Someone living in Brussels. 99,5% of burger Kings worldwide are owned by franchisees.
So about 6 to 10% of the revenue goes to USA.
It’s up to you to decide if you think boycotting 90 to 94% local revenue to hinder 6 to 10% USA revenue is worth it.
It’s not boycotting local revenue. It’s going to the kebab place or pizzeria that leaves 100% of their revenue in Europe.
Aight you’re right, in this case there’s no capital inflow. Franchisees will stop using American branding if it doesn’t bring them customers
