Those who claim they want higher salaries for the working class should fight for an immigration shutdown. We don’t need immigrants, yet we’re taking in a million a year plus illegals. It makes no sense.

I wonder which of those people protesting would be willing to give up their position so a fellow employee could receive that $15/hr?

My brother and my oldest son both worked at McDonalds as teenagers. It was never in any of their minds, my mind or anyone else I knew that this would be how they would make their life long livelihood. The problem of lack of opportunity is with all levels of government. They put so many burdens on business that the opportunities to get better paying work only exists at a minimal level compared to the past.

I have a friend who started out flipping burgers at McDonald's. He never protested. He just worked like hell and kept advancing up the ladder. He owns four franchises now.

None of them, but the effect will be to make a larger pool of idle people anxious for the money they can make for being part of a mob supporting whatever the next cause the "progressives" need a mob for.
Elections have consequences. Millions of people decided they'd rather sit at home and have four more years of Caliph Obama than to throw him out.

I often thank the employees that work fast food because we all know that’s maybe not where the want to be, but “stuff” ain’t free for everyone. Thanks to those that do their job and not so much to those that are buying into the union line of BS. More dollars/hr, less workers. Duh! The walk outs would be the first to go. Buh bye!

That’s just cause the plans for the unionization of
the unemployed haven’t been implemented yet, just wait.

Here is the bottom line quote: “With that, he wished me well, hopped into his Maserati, and drove off down a California highway.”
Yo! Knuckleheads!
Work hard. Stay sober! Persist!
The Maserati can be yours!

I grew up in Downey from early 1946, when my father was discharged from the Navy, until April of 1956 when we moved to La Mirada.
I still remember the sign when they said ‘50,000 Burgers Served!’ We all thought, that’s such an unbelievable number of burgers.
Pretty soon, it was a 100,000. Then, one day, the sign said ‘A Million!’.
A real mind-blower back then.
I went there about 20 years ago just to experience a little nostalgia for when California was the ‘Golden State’.

Shouldn’t those colors be reversed to reflect the ‘blue’ dems holding the gun to the head of the red republicans?

Many of them will do so, whether they’re willing to or not. They just don’t realize that yet.
