    do you think mcdonald's will hire a manager, pay them 40K (instead of 22), even if they don't need one, just because someone worked hard for two years?

    Do you realize how many McDonalds there are? There are lots of postings for manager positions. They probably have a hard time getting good workers. McDonalds is just like any corporation. If you work hard you will eventually be rewarded. Everyone always believes they should get paid more. Welcome to life!

    So workers should just get double their pay, despite not deserving it?

    Again, if these workers are so great, why hasn't Costco gobbled them all up to pay them double? There has to be a million jobs out there willing to pay $35K a year to someone for flipping burgers

    If you're going to have a minimum wage, it does seem kind of silly not to keep up with the rate of inflation. If crumpfly ever gets his way and a maximum wage ever exists then you bet your ass they'll be raising that puppy with inflation.

    This thread made me hungry. I think a trip to McDonald's is in my future. I think I'll pay with large bills just to rub it in a little.
    thank you weso1!

    So because the fed decides to print trillions of dollars every year, that means low skilled and uneducated workers should automatically get raises? Employers must be forced by threat of law to pay more?

    Do you feel the same about your mom and pop stores you love so much?

    You have a reading problem. I was laughing at the "strike" that was such a failure that they couldn't pay fast food workers to participate in.

    I was also amused that "strikers" were quoted as saying how easy it was to get the job, and that they don't know where else they would go... yeah, THEY SHOULD GET DOUBLE THEIR MONEY!!!

    hey look a change of subject that overlooks the facts

    i love when you used the word "forced" in a conversation that is about protests

    it's like you don't know anything about the struggle of workers rights

    mom and pops opens it up to an interesting angle and not 100% sure how would i would handle it as of right now but it isn't like we don't already make exceptions for small businesses on things

    Incorrect. Maybe the cherry picked data you get from the DailyKos, but in the real world, there is no conclusive "data" that proves your team is right on this issue. Sorry.

    This issue may be settled and proven in the narrow world of the liberal blogosphere, but I can assure you it's not close to settled in the world of economics.

    Do you think McDonald's will keep the same labor force at double the wage bill?

    Yes. Based on McD practices world wide --
    Which is the only data. Outside of what Bill O'Reilly thinks - or the Kochs or Newt or Sarah or Rushbo

    Please take some time t learn the difference between data and opinion / bias

    Show me the data that proves an industry will accept a doubling of their wage bill without impacting employment.
