Well, at least you admit to being a commie...

That sounds curiously like the master Nazi race, nice going! Strangely Imam sure you're proud.

Throw that race card around at all costs, buddy. It works. I swear.

In fact, me typing this response is racist. My white privilege is seeping through.


Illegal Mexicans have fucked up our entire labor force by coming in here, living 40 to a single-family house, taking low-wage jobs, and suppressing wages everywhere. It's the ultimate Bolshevik scam to pressure America into more marxist bullshit.

Never allow a commie to live.

Even McDonald's acknowledges that their business was intended for children.
Holding businesses that are created with the employment of kids & college students responsible for the poor choices people make in life is wrong. If you're in your mid to late 20's or higher & working for minimum wage you have no one to blame but yourself. You're poor choices should not result in a 10.00 Big Mac or 4 dollar fry.

Yeah, let's take your typical right-wing thought processes to its logical conclusion. Nobody will ever have to work for McDonalds, and we'll all be doctors, lawyers and accountants. How's that for reality? Idiot....

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

How can kids work at a place that is open during school ?

After school and weekends. Many younger adults who are not attending college live with their parents. In fact, we have more children living with their parents for a much longer time than at any point in our history.

 

[francoHFW]

If a person I see working greater than 30 hours a week, they are working for a living and not a high school kid. People working for a living deserve a living wage. Only in a society that does not value a work this could it be argued otherwise.

I remember when nobody gave two shits about what a child's job designed for children to gain work experience paid.
THEN
We became beanerized...35 year olds stole our kids jobs....and now people want us to pay $12 for a happy meal so Guadalupe and Pedro can feed their five anchor babies, buy their sack of weed, pit bull and Modello....What the fuck happened here people?

Well Republicans refuse to give us a social security ID card that can't be faked so it's an open invitation for Latins to come in here and work, bigoted dupe. And a stupid useless fence won't help.

Is that the same logic as; "you left your keys in your car, your car was stolen...it's your fault and not the thiefs"
Makes perfect sense if that twisted backward world of LibTardo Land
Haha...I love it...thanks for making me feel so smart and so well put together....My parents are so proud.

Keep letting illegals take all our jobs then brilliant! Keep your windows down and your keys in your car all the time... Idiot LOL.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

A Big Mac costs about $5.00. After the resulting price increase, it would cost about $5.25.

If you cant afford this because you are too poor, I dont think generations of American labor should have to suffer because of your poor choices.

So employers should have to suffer for the bad choices you made that only makes your labor worth minimum wage?

[depotoo]

Actually it would. Even nbc admits that a franchise isn’t that profitable. They sit close to the edge. If they had to close down for any amount of time, it could easily break many.
The hard truth about franchise business profitability

Prices go up even when wages don't..Derp..

Oh, well in that case...fuck it. You convinced me. Hell, let's go for $20.00 per hour minimum.


I love that $10.00 menu, don't you? Gonna get me a small fry and a cheeseburger.

It really wouldn't raise prices all that much.

If we had a big increase in minimum wage, places like McDonald's could divide that loss because they sell 2,000 burgers per day, 1,500 sodas, 1,800 french fries and so on. It would only add a few cents to each item. However, Bob's Hardware store doesn't sell 2,000 hammers or saws per day. The prices of Bob's items would have to go up much higher. It all depends on the industry.

 

[depotoo]

Actually, no, far from it.

Derpy, hmmm, that sounds so familiar...

When I was that age, a job at McDonalds paid $2.10 an hour

That was two tickets to the movies
That was seven gallons of gas
I would have had to work half a year to buy a new car
I was able to pay for a full year of college just working summers

It would take over $15 an hour to do the same today

Actually, todays prices are similar, if you are talking around 1967, though minimum wage was $1.40, so you must have been doing something right, like working hard to go up the ladder.
Average new car price was $2750. You would have been short by $600 working full time.
Today you can get one for around $13,000.
You could work full time for 6 months at the $10 average per hour wage at McDonalds, and have a little left for gas.
Movie tickets were $1.25, so just short on that.
Today you can go to the movie for around $6-9 a ticket, depending where you are. Yes, it was cheaper back then.
And with todays avg $10 per hour, you could only get around 4-5 gallons of gas.
Yes, college was cheaper.
So, it is similar, over all, but college.

Fake news.

 

[depotoo]

No, not fake at all. Or did you just need to be able to say it? Lol

More ignorance, stupidity, and dishonestly from the right.

The issue has nothing to do with anyone ‘deserving’ anything, or whether a given job was ‘intended for children.’

It's not? You mean it has to do with what you think you deserve rather than what a company can sustain. Got it.

For the last year leftists have been screaming everyone DESERVES a living wage and this asshat has the gall to say it has nothing to do with "deserving"

Talk about disconnected from reality...

Not everyone. Just the people who work a full time job. Which is most people.

Minimum wage today buys far less than it did in 1967. Far less.

 

[depotoo]

I checked the prices on all that he mentioned. Thus why I stated college is a lot more. Is housing more expensive? Yes, but he worked there obviously as a teen, which is what those jobs are designed for, otherwise he would have brought housing into the mix. He didn’t.

No, not fake at all. Or did you just need to be able to say it? Lol

I'm talking 1974

Minimum wage workers did not buy average priced cars. But six months at $2.10 an hour ($2200) could buy you a new VW, Pinto, Dart, Vega even a Nova

Take you close to a year to buy that $13,000 car at $7.25

Want gas in that car?
$2.10 would buy you seven gallons in 1974
Your $7.25 would get you three today

Want to go to college on minimum wage in 1974 ?
I paid $650 a YEAR in 1974. About three months work at minimum wage

To get the buying power I had at minimum wage in 1974 you would need to earn $15 today

Half the people working at McDonald's are now adults over 50 so raise it!

Even if what you say were true, those people are just retirees looking for something to occupy their time. My employer hires retirees for the same reason. I ask them why they are still working, and most of them tell me because their wives are still working and they have nothing to do at home by themselves during the day.

Jobs are not assigned to people, they electively choose those jobs. If you need government to make you worth more money to an employer, chances are you're a real loser and nothing can help you.

Looks like it's probably about 37%... And only getting worse...
Characteristics of minimum wage workers, 2016 : BLS Reports: U.S. ...
Bureau of Labor Statistics (.gov) › opub
In 2016, 78.2 million workers age 16 and older in the United States were paid at hourly ... who usually work fewer than 35 hours per week) were paid the federal minimum wage or less ...

Fifteen bucks an hour full time is somewhere around $30,000 a year.

Someone should tell these right wing assholes around here that that is not a lot of money in this day and age.
