There is a laugh in here.
When she gets $15 an hour at McD’s her hours will go down because the prices will be raised and they won't have as many customers and won't need as many workers on each shift. But the biggest surprise she is going to get is that her wages may go up but then they will lower her welfare when she makes more money.

You know right now she will really be pissed then and it still won't be her fault.

Reality still has a few lessons to teach this one.

And that 20 dollar box of diapers will be 50 and that cable TV bill will go from 100 to 400...

Raising the minimum wage is not a static effect....

“When she gets $15 an hour at McD’s her hours will go down because the prices will be raised and they won’t have as many customers and won’t need as many workers on each shift.”

Or, the only $15 an hour workers will be the shift manager who will load the ingredients into the hoppers for the robots to cook and assemble and the maintenance tech who will service three or four locations. This will lead to vast cost savings for the franchisees and increased sales volumes as customers will now be able to eat fast food with some assurance that no disgruntled workers are spitting (or worse) on their food.
