No, no hyperbole here. What imbeciles. I hope these low wage, low information types follow through and screw themselves out of the jobs they currently hold.
Fast food work was never intended asd a career choice, it was always an entry level job to teach youngsters about work ethics and having a job so that they could move on to something better. Apparently, they don't aspire to anything better and think that the fast food industry should cater to their idiotic demands. It has never crossed their miniscule minds that every fast food manager/owner has about 100 applications on file for every one of their jobs and they can be replaced in a heartbeat.
However, if we assume worst case, the price of fast food will skyrocket, placing it out of reach of about half the country (or better) which means that half or more of these overpaid imbeciles will be back on the unemployment line, hopefully having learned a fundemanetal lesson in the supply and demand side of economics. The rest of us will likely refuse to pay the necessary outrageous prices for fast food, leading to the demise of the industry even quicker.
Ya gotta love idiots!!
Jumbo jacks were a buck ten years ago under Bush. Prices on fast food have already tripled under this administration, while the press hyenas insist with a straight face that there is no inflation.
Can you imagine what a Big Mac would cost if these people get their way? The jobs would have to be guaranteed by the government dole in some manner of fashion.
