I own nothing and I've never been happier - to make you a burger.

A Democratic socialist candidate for Congress in Washington State is proposing a $30 minimum wage, saying that the current push for a $15 minimum wage is an "antiquated demand."
Rebecca Parson, who's running for Congress in Washington's 6th district, tweeted on April 21 that the minimum wage should be increased to $30.
"$15 minimum wage is an antiquated demand. It should be $30 per hour," Parson tweeted.

Why not just write blank checks, sign them and let them fill in the amount?
The tax alone on my meal was about $1.50. When I was a kid, a burger, fries, and Coke would cost $1.00 or less for the whole meal at some joints.
Then they will finally be able to pay off their college loans?
Why not make it a hundred an hour?
I hear ya--this particular TB operates as drive-thru only now and closes at 7 pm. I would have took the order back (she shorted me a taco) but with Bidenflated gas at $4.00 a gallon it wasn't cost effective.
A $30.00 an hour minimum wage Big Macs will cost $42.95, large fries $7.50 and a 22 oz. Coke $9.95. Enjoy!
I use that bill as one of my desktop backgrounds. Gordon Gono he da man.
Youth joblessness will be 100%...
Are they planning to raise all other hourly wages proportionally? Thirty dollars now goes to a job requiring some skill. If the minimum becomes $30 and the skilled worker doesn’t get a proportional increase, he would be making the same as the person who swaps out the urinal cakes.
Need to set a new floor for “prevailing wagw” union scale wage rates.
Would you like fries and a drink with that?
That’ll be $43.39 for your fast food burger meal deal.

QTs in North Texas are advertising $19.50/hr for part time workers. Difference is, QTs are busy as heck, and are profitable, as are Buc’ees. Doesn’t matter what time or day, Buc’ees are always full of customer.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
More specifically, patriots are reminded that the states have never amended the Constitution to give Congress the specific power to dictate policy for INTRAstate labor issues, labor policy strictly a state power issue imo.
In fact, Justice Joseph Story not only wrote one of the best paragraphs on how Congress's Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3) are NOT to be interpreted, but he listed "wages of labor" as an example of a power that the clause does NOT give to Congress.
"The question comes to this, whether a power, exclusively for the regulation of commerce, is a power for the regulation of manufactures? The statement of such a question would seem to involve its own answer. Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments [emphases added]." —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 1073--91
In other words, career federal desperate Democrats and RINOs wrongly based unconstitutional national minimum wage law on stolen state powers to help get themselves reelected imo.
Insights welcome.
Next, patriots are reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.
In fact, patriots cannot wait for corrupt Congress to apply Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to itself, particularly to desperate Democrats and RINOs who allegedly stole the 2020 election from Trump and other patriot candidates. So it's up to Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters to make section 3 work by exercising their voting power to kick scum lawmakers out of federal and state offices, replacing them with Trump-endorsed candidates in 2022 midterm elections.
"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof [emphases added]. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Again, patriots need to use their voting power to effectively apply section 3 to federal and state crook politicians in 2022 midterm elections.
Again, insights welcome.
And the price of your Big Mac just went to $15.
It’s funny - I find myself longing for the good old days when a political debate or argument at the bar or breakfast diner was about minimum wage, or climate change, or The Constitution, or WMDs, or whatever.
Nowadays, it is impossible to debate anything at all, because the first hint that you might be pro-Trump makes the Trump-haters go absolutely ballistic. People either like him or hate him.
Weirdly, the knee-jerk Trump-hate has gotten far worse since he left office.
As the Biden residency spirals into failure after failure, the Biden voters (the actual living ones) can see with their own eyes that the Leftist policies and mandates they pushed for are causing pain and making lives worse.
Gas prices, inflation, border chaos, war, crime - everything is falling apart - and the Democrat sheep must have a lingering uneasy feeling that perhaps the allegations of deep state conspiracy against President Trump and the stolen 2020 elections - might turn out to be true.
The Democrats are being humiliated - which is causing even more anger and resentment toward President Trump and his supporters.
The thing that has them boiling mad is the growing realization that President Trump may well return in 2024 to claim his second term.
This is how you get it. Why not shoot for 30 minute hours, instead?
Good for one order of fries and a coffee.
