No bagel. No bagel. No bagel.

The quickest way to destroy the “fast food” industry is to make the teenagers who work there a bunch of lazy union thugs. I'm pretty sure this is not teenagers.

Once a business closes, employees gain special financing and take over the establishment. Almost as if the government ‘gave’ the employees their jobs.Why not? That strategy works out so well in "Atlas Shrugged."

Picked out of the Pennsylvania link above:
Alleging unpaid wages and repeated retaliation, McDonald’s workers in central Pennsylvania launched a surprise strike at 11 this morning. The strikers are student guest workers from Latin America and Asia, brought to the United States under the controversial J-1 cultural exchange visa program. Their employer is one of the thousands of McDonald’s franchisees with whom the company contracts to run its ubiquitous stores.
The egregious Visa Exchange Program strikes again!
Ping for Central PA.

Wait, what?
Wasn’t it the beef of the labor unions that workers were being “exploited” when they were required to work *too many* hours in a week?
So now, companies are letting union workers work so few hours, that they could goof off, smoke dope and fornicate to their hearts’ contentment, and now unions are complaining about that too?
Jeez, there’s no making these clowns happy.
Tell them to work more than one job. That’s what normal people do when they can’t get enough hours in one place.

The story doesn’t say when that expires, but the story is from October 2010 so they’re probably not exempt anymore.

No renters to rent them, and big property taxes.
