Today, someone asked me, “How can fast-food workers live on $8/hour! How is that fair? The hourly wage needs to be raised for those jobs!”
I replied, “What jobs? What jobs are you talking about? 91 MILLION people can’t find jobs. You’re worried about raising wages on jobs that don’t exist.”
The Marxists talk about ‘fairness,’ but what’s ‘fair’ about raising McDonalds salaries while 91 million folks are earning ZERO dollars/hour since they’re unemployed?
They’re too stupid to apply their Unicorn logic across the board, whereupon they might realize they’re being played by Obamatollah and Fauxcahontas.
The food service sector was almost in marginal existence in the 1960s. You went to a bowling alley, a McDonalds, or some local restaurant. Today? In any town of 20,000....there’s at least thirty establishments, and they translate into 1,200 jobs in the local area.
In the 1990s....it was deemed appropriate to get into the job market there, and then move on.....finding better jobs, education, and more opportunity.
Well...here we are....with no new markets, a declining industry pattern throughout all fifty states (we shifted jobs to Mexico and China)....and we pretend that the food service sector is now a life-time job.
Something about this is absolutely wrong in vision. Even if you made the jobs $10 an hour....you simply are gaming the sector for 2020 and $14 an hour.
We screwed up when we allowed industry to pack and leave. And this gimmick here? This is the answer to our issues? I just don’t believe it.
