"can't take it no more"
After yet another story about this nonsense, I know EXACTLY how they feel.

To pay for the increased salaries, the price of a Big Mac will be raised to $295.00. A Super-sized drink will run $450.00.
Those seeking to stretch their budgetary dollars when dining will appreciate the new McDonald's hundred Dollar Menu...

Anyone left in Detroit to even buy fast food ? I assume McDonalds only operates where there is sufficient volume to make a profit.
Per this there are 31 locations:

I see the SEIU on twitter talking about their protests against fast food mega corporations which is an outright lie. These restaurants are owned by small businessmen.

EBT cards do the deed. And it will continue until Obama decides to shut them off. Hopefully it will be in the winter so that they can freeze their Obama worshiping asses off as they starve.

That’s a distinction you and I understand, and the media will never mention.
What I can’t understand is why some progressive icon like Soros or Bill Gates doesn’t start an “ethical” fast food franchise and pay the counter employees $15/hr with gold plated benefits.
Wouldn’t all the Democrats flock to a place like that for a $10 burger?

Give it to them. Let them learn the same lessons over and over again. Run the wages up and watch the fast food prices rise (they’re cheaper then buying healthy food at the grocery store), then watch the new raised minimum wage earners start griping about the cost of a #4 non-supersized.

I read a story recently about a bunch of Chinese were buying up a lot of the land in Detroit. Most of the buyers were buying sight unseen because they couldn’t get visas to travel to Detroit. Some did get visas, and they didn’t buy anything. I think the rest stopped buying too.

A while back Michael Moore was bragging about being an ethical employer at his movie theaters. He didn’t mention the millions in HUD money he got to open the places, the fact that they’re staffed primarily by volunteers, or the lawsuits pending over the movies he’s stealing.

“More than 200 protesters waved signs, bounced and shouted chants.”
This refers to the amounts of body fat in motion as the protesters waved signs and jiggled as they walked. It is unclear if some of the protesters were dribbling other protesters to ward off boredom and the chill.
To: cripplecreek
Never heard of his theaters but it does tell me how devoted some liberal suckers must be to work for free for that fat @ss Flintonian.

Gimmedat! I want 15 an hour! Gimmedat!
McDonalds should be ready to shut down franchises that become a problem and move to more favorable business locations.

These retards are protesting themselves right out of jobs. Raise the minimum wage to 15 bucks in Soetoros fundamentally transformed Amerika and the college kids will be taking all of these jobs. These high school dropouts better start learning how to pick strawberries and lettuce and find a new job before the GOOBers pass amnesty.Well put.

Between 2000 and 2010 the city's population fell by 25 percent, changing its ranking from the nation's 10th largest city to 18th. In 2010, the city had a population of 713,777, more than a 60 percent drop down from a peak population of over 1.8 million at the 1950 census, indicating a serious and long-running decline of Detroit's economic strengthWhite flight or black flight from the city? Let me guess.
