15 bucks an hour

[old fan]

I believe it was in Seattle that when the wage was raised to $15 an hour, workers were asking their hours be cut so as not to lose their welfare benefits.

But the big question is should a fry cook at a fast food joint make money than someone defending our country

What you folks are apparently missing is fast food jobs are entry level jobs to learn to work... they're for high school kids or college kids working their way through college for spending money, not to be used as a primary income.. McDonalds is already testing automated cashiers... that will cut about 6 employees a store, minimum... I worked part time a several fast food joints over the years to supplement my income in the lean years... It is not for a primary income. Besides, if McDonalds is the best you can do, you certainly don't deserve 15 bucks an hour...

They can't find jobs because you idiot liberals ran all the manufacturing off.... And if McDonalds is the best they can do, they ain't worth 15 bucks an hour, and lastly, you make your own luck.... I heard a great man once say, if you can't make a living where your at, move... if your not willing to move you'll probably never succeed to the higher levels of income... he was right, I'll site myself as the example... I was unwilling to move, hence it took much much longer to achieve anything...

SS please move to Stockholm for a year and then report about the great life going on over there. Don't walk in the suburbs though if you don't want to be very disappointed and shocked. And maybe even given a haircut at the neckline.
