Maybe all these minimum wage hikes will make cooking food at home cheaper & more convenient than fast food??

No troll, but how could grocery prices possibly go down in this situation?

Oh u mean in comparison. Honestly, fast food is trying to play the threaten to close card, but the best thing for society would be for them to close. So that is not a good argument against a min wage increase. That poison is

@ Blacks thinking eliminating jobs at any level is good for them.

So we should push for more jobs that require us to be on govt assistance to survive?

Are u some kind of intellectual masochist or what?

Obviously we should eliminate the minimum wage, then the perfectly free market will make things right, just like they did before the minimum wage existed here

I think being in the workforce and acquiring human capital will provide a bigger benefit(long term) to the black community than increasing the standard of living for the few working now.

No one has proposed taking away min wage alone...

Yes, first give us what we want and get rid of the minimum wage, then we will make sure to take some steps to protect youfrom what the minimum wage was protecting you from. Don't worry you can trust us

if you can't afford to pay a living wage, you should not be in business

Good! They need to stop selling that poison anyway

Exactly

He's probably lying anyways. CEOs always blame the government for their failures. I bet Chipotle is doing fine in California...

working at Wal-Mart will not help us. We need skills and education that retail jobs don't provide
