now that bidness is a boomin'..

this thread is hilarious.

it started off with our latest sock puppet tbonejack telling people who want to earn more than minimum wage to go back to school, followed by our latest sock puppet talking about how useless school is.

sprinkle in a liberal amount of spam talking points and ignorance of the fact that those who earn a degree earn way more over their lifetimes than those who don't and we have yet another right wing talking point shitfest in here.

it's funny now that they've moved onto complaining about how the government helps with student loans, but haven't said a word about how the government bails out walmart to the tune of billions more each and every day since the wages they pay aren't enough to keep a full time worker off of assistance programs.

it's even funnier that they have to employ an army of sock puppets to keep spamming their extremist talking points.

Straight right handed jerk circle. Like I said you muted from the owning, but yet still mention your name on a daily. I keep one person on mute now. Don't fuck with non-smoking rat who sells out friends.

they do talk about me a lot. it's kinda sad.

as far as the non-smoking part goes, that is actually pretty widespread among them. they tend to contribute nothing to the cannabis end of this site in the least.

pretty odd that we have nearly two dozen of those types around here. creepy even.

well you have to include the sock puppets, so the count is actually lower. IMO

Your opinion above is just a knee jerk reaction fueled by anti labor groups propaganda , a minimum wage of $15 an hour would mean nothing to a large corporate money machine such as Mickey D's .

Look at their profits last yr before making a statement saying the business couldn't absorb such a small increase in their total cost of operating the business .

A $15 minimum wage would represent a 100% increase, or thereabout. I don't see how the economy could afford that. $10 per hour? That's reasonable.

I dont think it's a right wing talking point.
No one said anything about Liberal professors indoctrinating students in Marxist ideology

What the hell is a sock puppet?

A marketable college degree would certainly be a great thing for people who want to earn more than minimum wage. Unfortunately, the costs of college are ridiculous these days. And the kids sign student loan notes at a point in their lives when they aren't mature enough to realize just how hard and long that loan repayment will be. And the bank managers are snickering while they thumb through their yacht magazines.

If you look at McDonalds finances,( https://www.google.com/finance?fstype=ii&q=nyse:mcd ) you will see they have a Selling/General/Admin. Expenses of approx $600 million each quarter, if you deduct the annual $988 Million they spent on advertising ( http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/T...-more-than-988-million-on-advertising-in-2013 ) you will be left with approx $300 million to salaries/employee benefits expenses. Now considering the majority of the employees make around the min wage, but not all would, you can safely assume that you could add another $200 million in expenses each quarter. Which means at the end of the year, the extra wage increase CONSERVATIVELY will cost McDonalds Corporation $800 Million a year.

And this is just for the Corporation, we haven't discussed most McDonalds restaurants, which is much more labor intensive. The corporation doesn't own most of the restaurants, those are owned by franchisees, so I don't have the numbers on that, but I would assume that it would easily double their SGA expenses.

McDonalds is the second most successful fast food chain when it comes to margins (Chik-Fil -A is #1), and might be able to cope with a 25% reduction in profits. Many companies have margins that are much much lower, where an increase of wages would mean bankruptcy.
