the problem is mcdonalds are usually franchises, not corp owned. so while that establishment gets treated as big business, it in reality is a mom and pop business.

well im not sure what to make of your context lacking comment. Whats so funny, what am i funny like a clown??? do I amuse you??? what is so dang funny????

HOLDEN not honda

Holden is the australian GM brand which is why i compared it to chevy, keeping it apples to apples

ahh, got you. by me they are all ground level

where can you find a bigmac for 3.99??? in NY its closer to 6 bucks now

the holden is built in oz, not imported....

so you are telling me businesses in seatle are opening in record numbers now right?? no one is leaving right???

killing the middle class on the false assumption that you are helping the poor is not the right move

exactly the point I was getting out. should be made into a XKCD

not always true. carbon fibre is less weight than steel, but if layed out correctly can be stronger

be happy they buy any of it back, they dont have to

by raising the wages of those under them artificially (which is what min wage is) it does in fact harm them as costs will go up, more people will lose their jobs as its not worth paying someone 15 an hour for some jobs, and in the end this is going to hurt the middle class way more than it helps the poor

cali is already losing jobs to texas in droves, this is not gonna make it any better

true, but the cost of a chevy (holden to you) down there is about 2x what it costs here. so yeah, you are making more but your costs are higher so what is the difference?

I get your point but there is another point people are missing.

what about those who are making 15 an hour now??? or those making 15.50??? will they get a raise??? or has their job that they worked hard for to get the pay they are getting now be considered a minimum wage job? While this *might* help the poorest of the poor (in reality those jobs will disappear) it hurts those who DID work hard to get above the bottom. That is unless they will be getting the same percentage raise as those making min wage now that is

somehow I think this is going to do nothing but devalue jobs in the 15-20$ range

why didnt you just open the box and fix the filter?
