[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how much do you make an hour? This makes sense for this metropolitan area.

I am not sure why people are okay with wage slavery. Adult men and women should not make $14/hour, it's unethical. It's also why we have the current migrant crisis. Americans themselves are unable to raise a proper family on poverty slave wages, thus the current political system is allowing others to come here because they believe some wages is better than none at all.

Quite frankly it's sickening how much American corporations are greedy and the politicians allow them to enslave people from third world countries for a chance to make a few dollars here. Those same economic migrants send money back home to their families because they cannot afford to live on their land (due to govt corruptions, gangs and everything in between).

Educate yourself OP, this is an entire matrix. [/quote]

It's a burger flipper!  No burger flipper is worth $55k per year.  Period.  That's more than teachers make.  That's more than skilled professionals like mechanics often make.

What's sickening is the expectations for more and more compensation despite having no skills worth any value.  Next stop it's $55k for unskilled, uneducated employed.  Next they'll demand $100k.  So where does everyone else's salary go?  $1M per year and burgers now cost $100 each?  Ha!  That'll do wonders for everyone's entire life's savings.

+1 some people lack common sense.

If they pay a burger flipper $26/hour, just how much do you think that burger would cost?  Who is going to pay $20 for a fast food burger?  The joint would close down because no one is willing to pay that much for fast food.

Way to kill small businesses.

Many places it's already $12-20 for a burger, fries and a drink.  We rarely go to one restaurant anymore after they raised their prices and it was so hard to get a table way back when and when we went it was surprisingly empty at lunch.  I think a lot of business will struggle when they keep raising prices and shrinking plates.[/quote]
