Flipping burgers shouldn't be a life sustaining career, it should be a part time job for 16 year olds. There is so much turn over in those type of jobs that if you stay long enough and show any ambition you can move up to manager-type positions and make more money. People need to be less complacent and stop thinking that they deserve more than they are worth.

except the minimum wage workers are better off, the middle class is marginally affected and the only real loss comes from higher up.

to say all fast food workers are undeserving of more money is very ignorant, however I can guarantee that the ones who actually deserve to be paid better are not the ones protesting.

I hope it does happen. I can't wait to see what people like the OP will say once all these people are out of work now because they were replaced by machines.

Not to mention, all the small business owners who are going to get hurt.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but 99% of people keep ignoring this simple fact to destroy any argument... Prices have been going up EVERY year on most common products. The USA failed to account for inflation in wage increases which would be about a 10.50 minimum wage modern day. You're ALREADY paying more for everything but not getting paid more. Disband from your idiotic political parties and delusional views on economics from your little college courses and listen to the truth that I just stated. It all makes sense now.

So then it should be 10.50, not 15.

I'm actually not entirely opposed to remedying wealth inequality. Having said that LOL at you.

They dont pay me for the 7/8 hours a day I spend miscing and shopping. They pay me for what I can do in the remaining 1 hour. Think about that for a second.

15 is an arbitrary number. You always negotiate higher to find a middle ground.

Are these people making reasonable and responsible decisions? You know.. buying things they can't afford, having children they can't afford etc... Just because monica wants 4 kids and a family doesn't mean it's a good decision. People shouldn't have to pay for things these people "want".

Your just ignorantly generalizing a group of people..

Every fast food worker isn't on welfare and spending their ebt on shoes..

What about the kids who work to help out their family because their parent fell ill and can't work?

What about the girl whose been dealt a bad hand in life and walks to work, just so she can keep the lights on??

the system is the system.. i dont believe a degree in anything should get you a better job.. you can graduate with a CE Or CS degree and the kid writing code in his basement is better at it than you and deserves more money..

school is part of THEIR system so you can get THEIR jobs and become THEIR slaves..

pay the guy sweating over the grill 15 an hr.. putting money in the hands of someone likely to spend it as opposed to someone who will hoard it is always the right economic decision..

taking dollars out of the system is what perpetuates poverty

What about her? She has a job in McDonalds? Which is great for a young person to learn the value of work.

Which is why the current education system is absolute BS. I say this as a person with an eng degree (you kids call it STEM now?). Most people are incompetent af and make terrible engineers after university. Others that I've met throughout my career (tradesmen, project managers, inspection, safety officials, other technical staff, etc.) who DONT have an engineering degree have actually been MORE knowledgeable than the people who wasted 4 years and tens of thousands of dollars getting a degree.

It's a shame, really.

The fact of the matter is this..... people need to be accountable for themselves and their given hand. If McDonald's isn't adequate to help ill parents, keep the lights on etc... then they need to do more. Understand there is restraint with the younger crowds but more often than not, you find people well beyond their teenage years working at fast food restaurants.

Why settle for less? Why accept what was given to you and just say "that's life". It's a defeatist realm of thinking.
