But even if I could fix my life around, the only why my ass is "retiring early" is by the end of a noose or the end of a barrell. --- Proud Owner of a NES, N64, PS2, Xbox, PS3, 360, Wii, PS4, X1, PSP, 3DS, Vita and PC Total Games Completed: 752 ...

I thought capitalism is good, and that freedom to choose what you do is part of what makes America great. Does this include the freedom not to slave for a burger joint who gives no shit about their employees? Of course the corporate interests think not. When working for a place like this, you have two choices with the way life has inflated:

thronedfire2 posted... the price of a Big Mac combo(or any food) wouldnt need to increase with higher wages if McDonalds was willing to take a hit on their profit marginbut they arent.Nearly a decade ago a detailed analysis showed that simply raising the price of each item by 17 cents would double employee wages and keep the profit margin the same.

That'd have been less than 60 cents of an increase for a value meal and I wouldn't notice that personally. --- http://i.imgur.com/ZWNgMXL.jpg "Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words." - Proverbs 23:9 ...

Seems like "don't stay in low hourly wage jobs/start a business/start a side hustle/learn a trade/go to college/try to retire early/ really is catching up the to the" industry." like we obviously need these people to do these jobs but the world told everyone to gtfo so shits crumbling.
