Their latest PR weapon on this is a study showing that McDonalds in France (1200 stores and minimum wage of $12 per hour) and Australia (900 stores and minimum wage of $14.80) remain profitable despite the fact that the price of a Big Mac remains within 25 cents of the US price.

Just doing a quick perusal around the net the prices seem to be 20%-30% higher for the sandwich and the meal.

That’s what I had assumed. A colleague of mine spent a year in Denmark and said things there were horrifyingly expensive (beer and a sandwich, twenty-five bucks American)

Guess I should trust my instincts when my math does not add up.

The unintended consequence: those $15/hour workers will lose their jobs.


I believe the intention of the top leaders of these socialist movements is to shut down successful businesses (i.e., McDonalds).

When the dog dies, the low level fleas and ticks (the useful idiots) are shocked and horrified that they’ve killed their meal ticket, but the Socialist elite simply move on to strangle the next dog.

I went to “Cafe Journal” in Heidelberg with a bunch of friends one morning. They offered fare from around the world. The American style breakfast (two eggs, breakfast meat, toast, juice and coffee - no hashbrowns) was over $20.

For a few dollars less, I can go to a local diner (East Texas) and get the same thing, plus a short stack of pancakes and some hashbrowns for both me and my wife.

Ain’t socialism wonderful???!!!

This site shows France to be about $1 higher on meal.

That’s okay, no one believes that Mika is an objective journalist anyway.

The dollar menu will become the two-dollar menu.

Or McDonald’s will just simply replace the workers with robots.

Gotta admit...if those numbers are accurate, I can’t figure it out.

It's possible they have fewer workers in the stores, or the fact that each worker can make a lot of sandwiches.

Well, never mind what I just said then.
