20.00 a hour for mcdonalds

Why should people get paid at all?

 

Seems like any job should be 'financially altering' in that you can pay rent, utilities, and maybe save some money and keep you off means-tested public assistance. I dont understand why boomers who think fast food jobs are for teens working summer jobs in 1967 has to be true for all time, stop living in the past.

 

Capitalists be like

 

Why shouldn't they be?

 

One of the bigger points is that if companies can't pay people enough to make a living wage, that's a problem with the system. Shouldn't have to wonder why then (and I hope you don't complain about it) the govt has to step in to subsidize so many people with food and shelter.

 

Not bad for summer high school job. I never worked fast food in my life. The day I turned 15 I got a part-time job at my local mom and pop pizzeria... while I was in high school.. I was paid minimum wage... $4.24/h ..or $4.15 can't remember.

 

Why does it only apply to fast food restaurants that have at least 60 restaurants nationwide?

 

Living wages = good
Fast food model is changing with more automation
Affordable food is at the grocery store.

OT: McDonald’s is a real estate company.

 

Interesting point. Maybe explains what I recall being 29 cent hamburger and 39 cent cheeseburger deals in the 90's. I wondered how that wasn't some sort of anti-trust violation there, lol.

 

Sure, but it is also a capitalism problem.

Imagine a world where there was no unskilled laborers to do all the things that modern society needs for it to function?

Seems to me that would make them much more valuable than many would like to believe.

 

Usually in the produce section. I try not to buy anything that comes in a shelf preserved package. Saving a bunch on food adopting a rolling 36 / 12 intermittent fasting schedule. Cut the grocery bill by 1/3. Crazy how insulin resistant Americans are in general. Also good for inflammation.

Good luck. I hope you are able to afford food.
