Topic	Fast food workers strike for $15 minimum wage.

There will be plenty of more experienced burger flippers applying. They want to unionize, which would make firing them without cause impossible. Of course these chains are so damn large they might just shut down locations entirely, like Walmart does when a union pops in. But fast food chains are often franchised, so it's really the local owner that gets fucked over, not the corporation. But nobody cares about business owners. As someone who wants to start a business in the next two years, I care very much about business owners. This is why I was so behind trump. Take big government out of the work force (and so many other places) and let them balance themselves out. No one is going to work for anything less than they can live off of. Right now tho these companies can just point to the arbitrary number and say "oh well" Minimum wage needs to be completely removed. Except people are working for less then they can live off, and finding ways to survive all over the place right now....other people are commiting crimes because that seems like a better idea then slave labor etc. Considering so many work under the min wage (and under the table) already, getting rid of it would just make things even worse. No min wage would be insane right now, but would actually probably speed up a process that has been happening for awhile, and people would get fed up and force real change to happen much faster. The solutions being called for are not great (just bumping min wage to $15), but the need for change is real, something has to happen as the current setup does not allow many us citizens any path towards security and happiness. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!
