Thread Reporter To Fast Food Worker That's Wanting $15 Minimum Wage!

Average teachers even make $30 an hour.
They don't like it broken down to an hourly wage though because then people realize they only work something like 1300 hours a year compared to a normal persons 1900 hours

So what, teachers should be paid double. Plus, they may only work 3/4 of the year, but many of them work 60+ hours a week. My mom is a teacher and same with a lot of my friends. Just because the kids aren't in school doesn't mean they aren't still working grading papers and creating lesson plans.

They also spend a lot of their own money on supplies for school.
One of my friends got paid more on the GI Bill (with the additional stipend the Army offers) than his wife did as a teacher.
Every single one of us has far more in common with that paramedic and any fast food worker than we will ever have with the people who own and run fast food chains. The investors are the ones getting the handouts in the form of our tax dollars subsidizing their employees.
Yaup. Plus they never get enough credit for all that they do.

No.
The franchise owners pay their employees whether the money comes in that day or not. Every day they worry about having money to pay the bills just like your sorry fucking whiney ass.
Your failure in chief knows he's can't provide success to the economy with his shit plan so he's doing his best to transfer the blame to the employers.
FURTHER he believes the economy is a total failure along with the 50% of lower income people who are on the dole so instead of encouraging them to move up the ladder of success, he's decided that a free bag of frozen fries for the lifetime fry guy is a sign of success.
It's so amusing watching you dolts try to shift blame for your total failure.
Here's a brilliant plan by an college student that makes as much sense as a 3rd grader explaining to a parent why they should get a puppy.
aaaaaaand, go:
You should totally open a fast food restaurant and make billions.
My college roommates dad owned around 40 Wendy's and averaged about 50k/yr off of them. Some made more than others. He figured you could expect to make about 100k/yr in a decent location as an owner operator of a single store, but for multiple stores you get to hire managers, then area managers, etc... Cuts into your per store profit of course, but let's you have a lot more.
There's not really a huge profit to spread around, of course everyone's solution is to say the stores should just charge more, but then they will bitch about how expensive food has gotten.
I am so sick of Fox News reporters cutting people off. I seriously cannot stand to listen to them at all because of how rude and immature they are. I cannot even get through that video because of the 'reporter' and how he's treating her. Don't give a shit if she's stupid or not, he's just a rude guy.

If money isn't coming in then the free market has decreed that they are fucktards in some way, and they get what they deserve. Right?
This is part of the problem. You think I'm talking about franchise owners and not the corporation as a whole using the franchise model to shield them from the consequences of the market.
If your friend's dad was paying minimum wage then he certainly was part of the problem and increasing his own profit margin off everyone else's tax dollars.
Why is it when people need to eat they're just moochers but when people need to spruce up the summer home they're just savvy business people despite both of them taking advantage of government handouts?
also if he averaged 50k/yr from each of the 40 stores that's two million dollars in profit per year. plenty to spread around considering he's not the one doing the work, his employees are

"they" meaning the employees that get fired to lower cost while they regroup and correct. "they" meaning the full timers that cost more who get fired for more cost effective part timers, and if that doesn't work "they" meaning the franchisors that close and suddenly unemploy the entire staff.
You must be fairly astute to acknowledge the failing labor force participation rate. In fact, you need to go back almost 40 years, to 1978ish, to find such a dismal particpation rate.
You're exactly right Asa on most of it. Gov't regulation isn't 'free market' but is something the free market will deal with.
It's Friday 13th, and I feel really good about our future at the moment. There may be a teence of hope!

While I don't think there should be a minimum wage AT ALL, your angle is clearly retarded. No business owner continues to keep a business open if its losing money.
