Yes, indeed the workforce will be more competetive but the costs will also be passed on to consumers. Kiss the Mickey D’s dollar menu goodbye. The libs will also use this wage increase to demand an increase of the bennies for their lazy voting base. So in the end we will all work more, pay more in taxes on the higher wages, so that some hoodlum can continue to call his baby momma on his Obamaphone, and tell her to pick him up a pack of Kools and a dime bag of weed by cashing in some Foodstamps, on her way back to her Obamahome from the salon where she just got her hair did, and paid for it with her EBT card. On her way back to her Obamahome she will trade some milk and cereal from the WIC she gets for her kids for a couple of hits off the crack pipe, but don’t worry cause this ho got it covered if she gets an STD or has another baby she now gots Obamacare for that, ain’t life grand in Obamaland.
Naah, they won’t raise prices that much, they’ll just automate more and the $15/hr will go to a manager or other more skilled person who keeps the machines running.
Michey D has already kissed their dollar menu goodbye. It’s now the value menu with items up to $5. Or so I’ve heard since I can’t afford to eat there.
