You need to look at this through progressive colored glasses. All the state has to do is also regulate the cost of a burger. Force the employer to pay more then force the consumer to pay more. What if the consumer balks at paying the new price, you ask? The all powerful state also has ways to force you to buy as many burgers, at whatever price, the state decides you need.
“The all powerful state also has ways to force you to buy as many burgers, at whatever price, the state decides you need.”
But there are other sides to this. By handling all the different fast food businesses the same way the state is expecting the businesses to go along and lay off their employees with either good or time in the job as a culling outlook. It’s been mentioned that the positions within this vocation that people who don’t have skills or aren’t educated enough to fill the slots are being punished. They aren’t, they are being replaced.
What type of persons ready made for the job are entering the state...illegals. Assembly line employment so the state can get a return on their gifts. And with the price of fruit picking at under $13 an hours, they will have applicants coming out of their ears and a steady supply if the ones hired get caught or fired. And another point is that if you don’t want to pay the price for the $10 burger, then you won’t be wasting fossil fuels or electricity getting there. Less pollution to accommodate their ecology donors.
And all this adds up to is voters that are feeling a bond with the liberals and will flock to the polls even while the sheep are being sheered. This is why they want under educated voters so they can feel a responsibility to pay back this generous offer of making burgers for $22 an hour. Course in time they will be replaced by machines, but they don’t look that far in advance. Eating and having a roof over your head is a today thing.
