Those morons don't get it. I actually heard one of the proponents claim that the burger chain would only have to increase their price for a burger by 50 cents to pay for the increased wages. The moron, like most of those idiots pushing for the "high" minimum or "living" wage as they call it, will cause costs go through the roof for the fast food chains because all the suppliers will have to pay their employees more money which will increase the cost of products bought by the fast food restaurants. Of course the howling fast food workers may want a $15/hr minimum living wage only for themselves which is quite selfish. What's going to happen is what's happening in Europe where Socialist policies have run the costs up for businesses so much, that many jobs including food preparation are becoming done by automation and fewer people are being hired. Of course there are high paying jobs for the skilled people who build and service the automated equipment. Unskilled dumbasses always shoo
t themselves in the foot when they demand more pay than they deserve. 8-)


On a radio news show the other day. A chain of burger joints had to pay
their people $15 an hour wages, so they got rid of the burger flippers
in each store and replaced them with an automated george foreman style
grill. problem solved.

another guy was working two full time jobs to put food on the table for
his family. now that he is getting $15 an hour he quit his second full
time job as a hotel jitney driver, which leaves an open position for
some one else to fill.

What those Progressive Liberal Leftist Commiecrat Freaks don't understand is that a minimum wage job is not supposed to be a career choice for someone to raise a family on. Menial jobs that have traditionally been minimum wage jobs were meant to be starter jobs and stepping stones to better jobs. I suppose that the Dumbassification of America is the reason so many people can only handle a minimum wage job. Many of those people have no ambition to improve themselves enough so they can get a better, high paying job. When I lost a job or when I finally got fed up with the Affirmative Action male bovine droppings embraced by corporate America, I went to work for myself. Because I know how to do many things, I didn't have to look for work, people called me. When I was hospitalized for a heart attack, I had calls from folks wanting me to fix things and it broke my heart(no pun) to turn them down. They were people who only trusted me and I was quite unhappy that I couldn't help them. Now I'm really frustrated because I can't even walk. I'm disabled and I want to work but I can only look at a ladder as something I once ran up and down. Those things I did without a second thought are impossible for me now and that really makes me angry. 8-(
