And that $15 an hour, that would mean I would have to work a little less days (sic) instead of every day, all day.
Nonsense. An irrresponsable turd like you would blow all that "extra" money as fast as you got it and would be back demanding $20 an hour.
All those years growing up people kept telling you to get a decent education, because you couldn't get a decent job without one.
But noooooo, you knew better. TFB, suffer.

A Lib state (like Maryland) should go for a $50/hr minimum wage for all workers and see how the State’s economy flourishes.

The pro-union activists, nonetheless, demanded from the purveyors of low quality food-like products that employees get a bump in pay.

Lest anyone think these protesters are protesting on behalf of the minimum wage workers, keep in mind that union wages are tied to the minimum wage. When the minimum wage goes up, union wages go up.

Equal opportunity since all the bad people in security and ID fraud adverts are white.

Wages and other firms of compensation is relative. The more skill and knowledge a task requires the more value those who perform the task can demand. A lot of jobs requiring considerable skill, training and knowledge are currently paying in the $15/hr range; jobs such as various technicians, administrative people, lab and dental people, truck drivers, etc. So, if the minimum wage should be bumped to $15/hr how would these people respond? Well, not very positive I think. They would probably demand that their wages be raised to $30/hr. Then, what would those performing jobs currently paying around $30/hr do? Well, they would probably demand that their wages be raised to $60/hr. Starting to get the idea?

If they get paid $15 per hour to flip a hamburger the costumer will have to pay twice as much for the burger and fries? Can you imagine paying that much for fast food?

These morons are ridiculous

What these 15 dollar per hour idiots don’t understand is a machine can flip burgers and hold the spit for pennies an hour in electricity..

They only reason they are still using humans is that the up front cost of that machine are currently a bit to high for their liking.

My observation of fast food places I have gone to in the past decade or so is that the language behind the counter at many of them is Spanish. A non-Spanish speaker would probably not be able to function. Fast food wages would likely go up if employers did not have a virtually unlimited illegal labor pool.

What they should be doing if they are really going to have to pay $15/hour to these cretins is sterilize the females and give the males a vasectomy. It is the only way to be sure their stupidity will not propagate down through the future generations.

All these dumb shits need a one month stay in Norway. We drop them off with a month's worth of $15 an hour salary and tell them "have at it".

When they see a McD's "value meal" is $15, a 10 pack of coke is $10 and a cup of basic coffee is $6, a single ride on the subway is over $4--they might be singing a different tune.

“She’s looking for more money for less work.”

I’d like that too. I’d also like free, non-fattening chocolate ice cream as well. There are many things I’d like that I won’t get because of one little thing. It’s called REALITY.

That is most certainly not true. You just happen to be in a market that has lots and lots of illegals I guess.

In my county, the distribution is 96% white, 1% black and 3% other (illegals). The illegals are off on construction and other labor jobs.

When you go through a drive thru here (or inside for that matter) you are more than likely going to be speaking to someone for whom English is their native language and can understand you. More importantly you can be reasonably sure they won’t spit in your burger, and that a lot of time, the food looks like the pictures on the menu.

The union only cares about the union.
