So, the progressives have been fighting tooth and nail for years to raise the min wage for burger flippers to $15 an hour and now that they've made some headway for these poor workers they've shifted to banning burgers altogether? What will these poor unemployed workers do now? Learn to code?

Central planning didn't work well for Lenin, Stalin or Mao either.

The founders had it right. Bring back constitutionally limited government.

Maybe they can start flipping veggie burgers? I don’t know. Rational thought has never been a leftist strong point.

Of course. Their game is power for its own sake.

It’s just like what they did with diesel in Europe. They forced everyone into diesel cars by taxing and regulating gasoline, and then they decided diesel cars were worse and starting taxing and regulating those.

Amen to that Jim! Keep the faith. There are more good people in this country than the left knows. We are silent at times but will rise up when provoked. See you in November!

You’ll be given Soylent Greenburgers with frankenfood qualities to make veggies bleed, and “you’ll like it”. Or else...

Bigger government, higher taxes, less freedom.

They all go together. Affecting one affects the others. It’s my basic philosophical explanation of government, and I suspect it’s yours too.

Kick the control freak democrats out of congress and remind the rest of them that they work for us, not for themselves.

They want burger burners to have a living wage but not Veterans and SS precipitants.

Union contracts are paid a multiple of the minimum wage, so it’s a payoff to the unions.

As a Single FT Dad of a 13-year old boy that eats more than me, I demand $15 per burger flip and he does a minimum of 3 burgers a day plus compensation for preparation and cleanup at $15 per hour with a minimum of 4 hours. I also want double time on evenings and weekends.Further, I want all burger expenses reimbursed as well as compensation for counseling him on diet and exercise.

And if socialists in government take the hamburgers away, I want reparations.

The $15 minimum wage is an absolute disaster. Designed to eliminate small businesses in poor neighborhoods. And to replace American workers with illegals. Impossible to have factories compete with Asia with such an artificially high minimum wage. The price increases throughout the economy will be devastating.

There was a headline the other day that the Impossible Burger has ranchers worried. Yeah, right. I’ve seen reviews from meat eaters and the texture still isn’t right. Even if they do get it perfect, it’s not going to replace meat. It’s mostly for vegan chumps who want meat but can’t admit it.
