    If any of you think they wouldnt go to robots if they paid 3.00 an hour youre fooling yourselves.

    How can you corporate cheerleaders BELIEVE that corporations that make BILLIONS in profit cant pay a fair wage LIKE ALL CORPS DID FOREVER.

    They are full of $#@! lieing greedy scumbags.

    I need a translation. While I am very familiar with Marxism and its rants this is in an unfamiliar dialect.

    Because the corporations don't pay the wages, the Franchise owners do

    The average owner makes 250K per year per store. And the increase in wages cost about 400K? Are you planning on giving them the money?

    I think it is funny, and these idiots can starve for all I care. Instead of complaining about their wages, how about you learn a skill and get a job that was not designed for a High School kid.

    That might just be a better path? But no they demand 15 dollars and hour for work you could train a monkey to do
    Considering manufacturing has left the U.S. at break-neck speeds I don't know how you expect every worker in America to get a job in a skilled trade. I know several people that work in the service industry that had the certifications to work in trades like you're talking about, but the jobs just aren't there anymore.
