    How about communism in California TODAY is a bigger threat than communism in Russia or Ukraine TODAY, and you might be spot on.

    ...and more saliently/conversely. Ukraine's borders are more important to the Left, than California's, or Texas', or Arizona's...

    Is this like how the price of postage goes up when postal workers get a raise?

    McDonalds only made $8 billion profit in the last year. They can't possibly pay their workers more without raising prices.

    I posted links about that in another thread although the corp made big bucks most franchises don’t. They avg about 150k a year. They are the ones who will feel the hit on their bottom line. Not the Corp.

    Gov loves when wages go up, more tax revenue…

    Sure. Multi-unit owners operate 75% of these places..

    Food franchises are focusing on owners of multiple units

    Costs go up, prices will go up. Why anyone is surprised by this is beyond me.

    GOP has people convinced beyond belief that high wages and high employment is BAD for America. How did that happen? Totally ridiculous and level headed people believe it.

    Nobody thinks high wages in general are good.

    $20/hr for fast food workers is open for debate…

    Help the rest of us out and take a lower paying job. Thanks. Your statement is beyond ridiculous.

    You think a commercial real estate management and marketing conglomerate pays minimum wage hamburger flippers? Lol!

    That is a very odd way to define success.

    Not directly, but yeah, they ultimately do. If the franchises aren't doing well, McDs doesn't make 8 billion in profit.
