Default Wage Strikes Planned at Fast-Food Outlets


that's just silly.
Wages are determined by supply and demand.
Businesses raise wages until they get all the jobs filled.
As long as immigrants, legal or illegal, feel that they're
better off at McDonalds than their previous job, the wages
wont' rise.
Artificially forcing wages to rise just attracts more
people from lower wage jobs.
And it raises prices so the people whose jobs have been
taken can't afford 'em.

People come here for a better life, take American jobs,
then bitch that it's
not better enough. Send 'em back to their own
country so we can recover this one.
Supply and demand will fix it.

If you can't live on McDonalds wages, you have the wrong job.
I'm unwilling to pay $20 for a burger so you can have a car.
And I'm really annoyed that I have to learn Spanish so I
can have it my way.
