And ultimately WHERE will customers come from when they have no jobs and earn no money and cannot waste a single dollar on the cheap fast food? No, I don't think the wealthy are going to start eating at fast food places so often that they will make up for the revenue loss after most of the poor have no jobs at all. These greedy "managers" of these companies are just working themselves out of a job and their companies out of customers.
It's only a small minority of McDonalds workers engaging in the strike. Most people who work at McDonalds only see it as a "stop gap" job and don't plan on working the rest of their lives there. The only people who get stuck working fast food for life are the mentally retarded or those too lazy/stupid to improve themselves.
No. It tells intelligent people that there has been a huge change in this country and "high-wage" jobs are few and far between. What part of the information, that people with college degrees are having to take these sorts of jobs because there are not enough jobs out there for people with "high skill sets" and intelligent enough to have University/College degrees, do you not understand?
Thank Democrats and Obama for the lack of jobs. So how's those shovel ready jobs working out? I thought government helps build that (small business)?
It's amazing how Democrats continue to go after businesses then cry and scream when businesses don't hire. How's taxing them to hell working out for you?
Interestingly, it didn't seem to go down here at all.
Everything seemed open, based on all the cars I saw coming and going.
If you go to Salon or HuffPo they say that tens of thousands took to the streets... yet LA Times, Daily Caller, and many main stream news sources are being a little more honest about it.
USA Today did a big expose and many of their images were like these... trying to make 5-10 strikers look like a massive crowd. I didn't see one strike in my area yesterday. Plenty of patrons in the FF joints though. Seems the HS and College kids (in this area) enjoy their $8hr shoe-money jobs.

Greedy managers? As I said, if you can do a better job, pay a better wage, tell Obama to help you build it and buy you a franchise. Until then don't whine about things you know nothing about.

They want to tax business even more so they can get higher wages and better benefits
The union (SEIU) helped organize this and fund it and provide training.
They didn't do anything in right to work states.
Why in the world would anyone waste one penny or one minute in Texas for any reason? Although there seem to be a large number of poor people in Texas, clearly many Texans seem to hate the poor and hate anything which would help those poor people pull themselves up into a more life-sustaining lifestyle.
Do you have any clue whatsoever as to what you support and are advocating?? The rich company owners (the kings & queens in our world today) have a very loyal subject in you; it's unfortunate that they could not possibly care less about you or other people like you. But you continue to support their lives of endless luxuries provided for them on the backs of the "serfs."
The US consumer long ago clearly made the point that they want things cheap and if that means buying non-US, non-union....they don't give a crap.
If it makes you feel better to blame the "kings and queens" when it's really a consumer driven economy full of serfs that don't care about the other serfs then go for it. I realize it's often an uncomfortable narrative for idealists.
I don't disagree with some of your other points about the dangers of unfettered capitalism, I just also know reality.
I'm not sure what this has to do with my point. I wasn't saying that the immigrants wont work.
Well, what did you mean by this, below, then? Are you saying you wouldn't do it, or what?

Landscaping? Forget that.....too hard and you have to actually go outside to do it.
