My wife did some volunteer work in Seattle today. I went to a McDonalds to get a couple $1 large soft drinks for the two of us along with a couple sandwiches off the value menu for around $1 a piece. At McDonalds in Seattle large soft drinks don’t cost $1 like they do everywhere else in the surrounding area... they cost more than $2. The cheapest items on the value menu in a Seattle McDonalds are $2 not $1. Prices have not gone up a little; they have more than doubled.
The minimum wage in Seattle is now $13.50 an hour. I noticed that the Arbys we used to go to was boarded up as was the Taco Bell and the Taco Time. So not only was the food at McDonalds twice as expensive, over half the fast food restaurants that we once ate at had already gone out of business along with the jobs that they used to provide.
Liberal politicians don’t care. The lies they sold were transparent to most conservatives, but the progressive crowd had Common Core mathematics, so....
