we should email this congressman and see if he’ll push for $300 an hour. That should put us at full employment right?

Ask any of these idiots why they think you could buy a hamburger for 15 cents in 1960. I doubt they’ll be able to tie the increase in wages to the increase in burger prices.

Another thing these idiots don’t understand is if the minimum wage is raised for McDonald’s workers will it not also be raised for mom and pop burger joints? Can you imagine the price of a hamburger at a little locally owned restaurant if the owner had to double everyone’s wages?

The self-serve gasoline pumps were probably the beginning.

Now we have on-line banking (no tellers needed) and self check out at grocery stores (no cashier needed). Robotics are already making advances in surgical techniques.

You and I probably grew up in the same world. Hard work...but it was a few bucks. It was good at the time...but I knew I couldn't stay there forever.

If I were a young person today I would consider a trade very seriously. Can't be outsourced or be done by a robot. And an added benefit...you can get a license without being hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. Fireman/policeman also a good profession.

If we had a different CIC...I would say the military is always a good choice.

Oh. My. God. Idiocy that is off the Richter scale.

THESE folk are running the country. Our economy will never recover as long as these policies are being promoted. NEVER EVER - CEO's will off shore everything they can and they will NOT bring the earnings back to the US.

Detroit is sunk. Chicago is sinking. LA is sinking. Our public schools are sinking. WashDC has sunk most of our alliances around the world. WashDC is busy sinking our defense capabilities. Our system of representative governance and our liberties are being sunk out right from under us. WashDC is already far along sinking the American economy and our jobs to the bottom of the sea. What you got against little Guam sinking?
It’s just their turn maybe...

Why not make the minimum wage $100,000 per year. That would really juice things up, eh SHATcow?

Whatever they want.
They’ll be out of business in 6 months.

All of this hate on the minimum wage while ignoring restaurants that pay servers $2.13 an hour

Glad you mentioned that. I've often wondered for years how long they could get away with that.

Somebody needs to tell this ditzy loon that working at McDonalds is an entry level job. You’re not supposed to be working there for 10 years.

I was trying to use their mindset in framing the question, then I decide they have no minds. Someone has guided them to attack fast food places specifically.
