Kaliesto 07/03/18 6:42:00 AM #55:	Personally, I wonder what would happen if everyone working for McDonalds just walks out at the same time and I mean every one of them across the states to protest about wages. Would McDonalds Corporate turn into a more scum method by hiring illegal workers to fill the huge void quickly and pay them less? Because that is usually what Corporations will try to do, and break the law at the same time to get their way with people lower than them. Mind this is a hypothetical scenario, and also to add in such a hypothetical world that people at the lower end will not want to work at Mcdonalds due to such controversy, so McDs will need to hire illegals. Also I want to see how many spoiled and unhealthy slobs will bitch and moan that they can't get their burger fix, how about cooking your burgers at home you lazy fuck? hahahaha. Care more about stuffing their face than other people. Seriously, if that were to happen I know for a fact it will bring the truth to light about some people in general in this country. What's the chant? The "Me" generation some degenerates like to throw around? Seems like when people can't have their way with restaurants that it seems to apply to the customer rather than the worker. Straight to the point conclusion, if there is no equal respect then there is a problem. --- It's not stupidity, it's something much worse.

CyricZ 07/03/18 7:12:03 AM #64:	I don't think anyone was suggesting someone with a skill 99% of the population can't do shouldn't be paid more for that skill. And I don't think such an argument goes against the idea that any person working should be paid a livable wage. Whether that means increasing the wage or lowering the price of goods, one should still be able to live healthily off of forty hours of work. --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:904408188] in a minimum ...
