As the labor union-backed Fight for $15 begins yet another nationwide strike on November 29, I have a simple message for the protest organizers and the reporters covering them: I told you so.

It brings me no joy to write these words. The push for a $15 starter wage has negatively impacted the career prospects of employees who were just getting started in the workforce while extinguishing the businesses that employed them. I wish it were not so. But it’s important to document these consequences, lest policymakers elsewhere decide that the $15 movement is worth embracing.

It is cheaper to build a robot than to send a child to school for 12 years to run a cash register that makes the change for you!

There was a guy on FB that wrote regarding the Soros protestors, but it fits here:"Trump isn't even president yet and already people are getting fifteen dollars and hour."

MickyD's is still a fast food leader as long as I can get a QPer for less than $4 bucks.

I remember when a qtr pounder was .90 cents.

I’m getting old.

Robots triggering mass self-deportation? WHO KNEW?

[workerbee]

Hehehehe.... how about those ads at Christmas — “50 cent gift certificates”. My husband and I laugh at that. Check out YouTube for a blast from the past.

A robot will build a better burger, faster. And it won’t have an attitude.

These “$15 an hour” protestors are protesting themselves out of jobs....

You couldn't pay me to eat McDonald's food now. I even stopped drinking the coffee. Ever since they got rid of the french fries cooked in a mixture of beef tallow and cottonseed oil (and they immersed the fries in cold water before frying them) and added unnecessary crap like salads, McVeggie burgers, and such - I passed.

McDonald's needs to go back to their roots.

Have the protestors ask the air traffic controllers in the ‘80’s how well their walkout worked with Reagan....

“A robot will build a better burger, faster. And it won’t have an attitude.”

Or spit in it

[granite]

Me too. I used to stop at White Castle after school for an 8 cent slider.

[moonhawk]

Nor will it spit in your shake if you’re wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat....

[moonhawk]

Beat me by 17 seconds... :-)

Or spit in it (I’m always late to the party.. LOL)

[coydog]

Or spit in your food.

“A robot will build a better burger, faster. And it won’t have an attitude.”

And it won’t call you a pig, spit in your food and say it doesn’t serve cops.

And it won't spit on the burger or put mustard in your drink.
