Rep. Ilhan Omar (D.-Minn.) said in a Thursday morning hearing of the House Education and Labor Committee that the Chief Executive Officer of McDonald’s gets paid $21.8 million a year while the median earnings for workers at the restaurant chain “who put in 40 hours a day” is $7,000 per year.
The hearing was examining the possibility of lifting the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour.
On Thursday evening, Omar tweeted out a video clip of her talking at the hearing about McDonald’s workers who put in “40 hours a day.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D.-Mich.) then retweeted Omar’s tweet. …

I just hope our miltary fights this up coming civil war on our side. The morons are trying to take over the ship.
Are they off for two weeks?
But is it like this in all 57 states?
Because evil is FUGLY
And it STINKS
She & Alexandria Cortez must have been classmates.
The other reality is - if McDonald’s is forced to pay a minimum of $15/hr, they will move toward more automation. Machines will ultimately be cheaper, they don’t take breaks, they don’t call in sick, and don’t talk back when asked to do something.
So - a few people will get paid more, the others will get paid nothing - and the cost for government subsistence for those not employable will go up
Its almost like democrats are self destructing
50 weeks is used just for ease of estimation. I should have stated that. Every $5 per hour is another $10,000 per year.
No wait, I think I got this figured out! There was that Democrat who said we sent astronauts to Mars; I bet they brought something back! And that other Democrat talked about all of 'em feeding at the trough, so I'm guessing the Martian crap must be edible, and make you able to work 40 hours a day! At that rate, you really can make $100,000 a year, so a lot more folks would vacation on Guam (our 57th State), which is why that other Democrat was worried about the island capsizing! And with all the burger-flippers paying taxes on six-figure incomes, we really would have enough money for the Democrat's New Green Deal!
Or is it Nude Green Deal?
;^)
As long as the poverty rate is defined as the lowest quintile of incomes, there will be 20% of the population in poverty.
Understood. No worries.
“Eight days a week!”
In all fifty seven states!
Not so sure - generating new people who’s subsistence comes from government might be a goal - more sure voters that way.
glad you pointed it out
Did the Capitol police check to be sure she wasn’t wearing a suicide vest?
40 hours a day, 8 days a week.
I think attorneys can work 40 hours a day.
