[Night Hides Not]

When I see senior citizens bussing tables in downtown Dallas, all I can say to these fast food workers is "good luck, and be careful what you wish for."

Tens of thousands of 62-65 YO people are drawing early social security. I believe the max they could earn before losing any benefits is $1500/month, or about $375/week. Those that want to will find a home at a fast food restaurant, putting these strikers back on the street.

When I see that, I wanna just stick my head in an oven.

EXCELLENT POINT. One thing about liberals is they DON'T want to learn from real examples in which their policies are implemented. When Seattle SEA-TAC implemented a high minimum wage it hurt the very people it was supposed to help. This is because, as you point out above, job poachers moved in from other areas for higher wage jobs (also combined with job losses due to higher wages). So rather than learn from this experience, liberals doubled down and want to expand a higher minimum wage to all of Seattle.
