owners. ……how do you think corporate makes its money if not for the franchises
How to say you don’t understand a franchise without actually saying it. Corporate has zero to do with this.
A living wage = wage high enough to maintain a normal standard of living.
They had that. So now you can stop babbling about a living wage.
f you can’t even pay rent on a minimum wage job (let alone food or other expenses) then you’re not making a living wage
They were paying all their expenses. Can you cite where a laid off employee says otherwise? Only a liberal would think 0 is better than making a livable wage which they were doing

I love this narritave that people working in fast food for low wages are joyfully living their best life making big macs and singing gospel songs in 4 part harmony and on their day off they swing by the community food bank and everything is great - untill the evil Liberal McSocialist takes their job away with an evil laugh Mwahahaha! and the poor franchise owner loses everything he has to wear a barrel instead of clothes and smoke Honduran cigars instead of Dominican Oh such folly! Such Tribulation! Alas Babylon!

This entire thread is just that guy demonstrating over and over how much he doesn’t understand the suffering of those below him on the economic scale and it’s SO OBVIOUS

Helps if you had read the articles where the woman says she was happy with her job and pay. She’s not upset because she doesn’t have a job or pay. She won’t be able to pay her bills. I get you feel self important to tell the plebes they don’t need jobs since but I can empathize with their plight.

I missed that one. Did you post a link to it? I don’t see any other links in this thread. I admire your concern for the people who lost their jobs and I share that concern. You should never doubt that the plight of the proletariat is a fundamental concern at the heart of the revolutionary’s critique of capitalist exploitation.

Here is another article on it
The issue is that wages should have been increased more gradually over time and not rapidly when inflation was the highest and right after a pandemic. That is just dumb. People will only pay so much for fast food and that price is already exceeded.

Yet the left claims they want to be more like Denmark but then balk when they find out Denmark doesn’t have a minimum wage.
