[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People demanded $15 an hour, and when others said prices would go up, they were shouted down. Well?[/quote] Go back to high school economics and try again until you get it.[/quote] Ok, the explain it. I’ll use just this thread. Olive Garden has @30 non server staff. Raising the wages $5 an hour on them, is $150 an hour, $1500 on a 10 hour day, or $45,000 per month. Guess where that comes from? Jimmy John’s has 5 people that were making $9, now it’s $15, so $30 an hour extra, $300 a day, $9,000 a month. I’d guess that’s $2 a sub or so, now your $12 sub is $15. It’s not that hard, and no I don’t "blame those who want a better wage" I just know it’ll be passed on to me and can’t complain if it is. [/quote] But don't forget -- record level corporate profits, all throughout this. Why are profits going up so much? To record levels? That's not "having" to raise prices just to cover wages and break even. That's using your argument as a shield for drumming up record corporate profits, and blaming wages for it.[/quote] Jimmy Johns is a franchise. The average owner of one makes $90k a year. His expenses just went up $108k. I guess he can afford to work for -$18k or he’s greedy right? High School economics indeed. [/quote]
