You said that I claimed only fast food places would be affected, and that is not what I said. Why do cars cost 10x more than in 1970 - lots of reasons, but I don't think increases in the minimum wage had much to do with it
I never said you "claimed" anything.
You said "fast food and minimum wage paying retailers".
I pointed out that fast food is not the only industry that will be affected, and I was talking about all industries including manufacturing and service industries .....not just retail and fast food.
You sure do like to get caught up in the minutia of irrelevant details.
You did the same thing when replying to me in another thread.
Anyway.....
It's not just minimum wage jobs that will be affected, everyone who now makes between the current minimum and 15/hr will demand a raise because now they make minimum again after working their way up from minimum
And everyone who currently makes 15.00 or a bit over will demand raises too.
Not everyone will get it though.
But one group that sure as Hell will get raises if the national minimum wage goes up is union workers whose wages are contractually tied to hikes in minimum wage......yes, the same union workers who build cars that you say the prices of have nothing to do with hikes in minimum wage.
Bob Evans Salaries | Glassdoor It is not like they are paying their employees more then most restaurants. Here are some articles that show why increasing wages will not be as bad as some people think.
I see that right-wingers are 100% in agreement that raising the minimum wage will be a disaster...
How much more proof do you need that it's a great idea? When was the last time they were right about anything?
Even if min wage was raised $1 they keep saying the economy will blow and trickle down economics is the best thing ever 2 biggest lies told by republicans

Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't practice it. Yours is an excellent example of the real problem. Under Obama we have had the biggest trickle down failure in the history of the country. This has happened because of Obama, not the Republicans, but yet, that's who you blame.
Yes, they would have done the same thing but the problem is bipartisan but for some reason the complaints aren't.
Those burgers are gigantic and clearly a cut above the usual fast food fare + they come with fries and/or cole slaw. $10 for a full meal is totally reasonable:

Explain that one. What trickle-down policies has Obama endorsed? All I see is a president urging Congress to close some of our more egregious corporate loopholes and Congress collectively scoffing.
