    You can't possibly be that fucking stoopid.


    Here's what makes them unworthy. They are 35 years old and all they're cable of doing is flipping a burger or stocking a shelf.

    If a motherfucker is stupid enough to believe he can raise a family working at Burger King, he's got major fucking issues. I've heard of losers but you have the mentality of a first class loser.

      That's pretty specific. So what about the ones who aren't 35 years old. Are they also unworthy according to you?
      Have you read anything you have posted in the last half hour? You judge others intelligence, but you certainly don't come across as someone with a fully functional brain.

        I don't care if they're 18, 35 or 67 years old. You better have a skill that is worth enough money to take care of yourself or you're a loser. See, I can tell that you're a loser just by talking to you. Get up off your ass and learn something.

          Soon they will teach machines to flip burgers..drop the fries.. and serve the food to the customers..so there will be no need for the whiney ass humans to work so Unemployment will raise the UE payouts for low information workers to do nothing and still get a paycheck..what the hell could go wrong?

            Naw, I'm doing okay.
            You know there are people you can talk to about your self esteem issues.
            Generally, those who feel the need to put others down have their own problems with self esteem.
            I'm not asking you to stop insulting me, it's hilarious, but you really should talk to someone.

              Is that why you dislike a higher minimum wage? You wouldn't be able to pretend you are better than lower wage earners.
              If everyone earned higher wage one of two things would happen, either prices would go up to where that higher wage would not be a "living wage" or the number of people working those low end jobs would go down.

                Now we get it

                YOUR just jealous the kid at Burger King makes more money than you. After all your State still pays one of the lowest wages by law 7.25 per hour.

                      Liberals, you have blood on your hands. It's time to admit your lies and failures. Come clean. It's time.


                      Fauci, the WHO, and mainstream media lied about COVID origins for more than a year

                        Let's look at this from an owner perspective. My costs to produce a good have gone up significantly, what am I going to do to compensate for this? It boils down to basic economics- 1.) I am going to pass that on to the consumers of my product
                        2.) I am going to hire less overpaid workers to cut costs which in turn has a opposite effect on stimulating the economy because now more people are unemployed and collecting from Uncle Sam.
                        Also, think long term on paying someone that kind of money and 1) think of the accidents they may occur with them on the job over the next several years 2) think about days missed such as sick days and hang over days. Now, this is a job that can be automated, take look at Detroit for a prime example. I know a handful+ of people that worked there and talk about being overpaid and taking advantage of the system...holy shit, these people were paid WELL and they hardly did much. I know of two people that would clock in, go to the bar and drink most of the day while being paid handsomely. I know others that would be at the golf course while clocked in, now the car makers have moved overseas, the city has been in shambles for years and to boot, mostly everything is now automated!
                        So to get back to automation, as an owner, I have to look 5,10,15 years down the road. I have to consider my cost of automation over paying humans $24.00+ and hour, calculated workman's comp for accidents, sick days, etc. Or, invest in automation and hire less workers, less money over time, less headaches- sick days, workman's comp claims, attorney's, etc. The choice is obvious.

                          too bad the idiots in charge don't understand this very simple concept. people think too much of themselves and demand more for doing less. The average american worker has become lazy and they don't have the work ethic needed to do the job properly.

                            Economic theory 101. Most people want the most with little effort, trouble is....it does not work on many scales. For those who are inclined enough to educate themselves, here is one of my favorite economists Richard Wolff, I have had the pleasure of sitting in on several of his lectures.

                                While the arguments for wage-push inflation are appealing, the empirical evidence is not so solid. In fact, looking back at the history of minimum wage increases has only a very weak association with inflationary pressures on prices in an economy.

                                According to a recent piece of economic research that examined the effect of prices on minimum wage increases in various states in the U.S. from 1978 through 2015, they found that a 10% increase in minimum wage only accounts for around a 0.36% increase in prices.1


                                 Moreover, increases in prices following minimum wage hikes generally have occurred in the month the minimum wage hike is implemented, and not in the months before or the months after. Interestingly, they find that small minimum wage hikes (e.g. on the order of 5-15%) do not lead to higher prices, and they might actually lead to lower prices. On the other hand, large minimum wage hikes have clear positive effects on output prices which can ripple through to higher consumer prices.
