Obama is a damned Marxist. He wants to destroy the economy.

I love your comment and photos at the end, haha.

I personally could care less about fast "food" worker wages because I don't think it is wise for anyone to ever eat that processed garbage which has been allowed to be categorized as "food." But hey, far be it from me to keep anyone from their addictions to both fast "food" and their comfy mind-control that numbs out any critical thinking. I mean, why is it that no one wants to question their diet when they get diagnosed with cancer, heart disease, or really any other illness?

Perhaps the price increases will convince people to not poisoning their selves.

I believe they were warned this would happen. You can't pay a person 20 an hour and not expect layoffs, firings, and rising food prices.

But Obama begs to differ, he said we can take any manner of 'hits' and continue on.

We should immediately raise all rates to $20 an hour, not just fast food, and see what that does to the economy.

Karl Marx never worked a day in his life. The Marxist Democrats idolized not working or bathing. So, all the layoffs and price increases are part of the plan. Getting on the system is a utopian dream. Food stamps, free healthcare, pot is now hemp, eating, drinking, having sex and shitting on the lawless streets of LA all day.

I wouldn't feed that fast food garbage to my dog and I don't even have one anymore!! Fast food restaurants are putting all fillers in their food and passing it off as meat! Man is destroying Man!!

It goes beyond fillers! Loaded with trace toxins including a rubber chemical to keep the bread soft! Chipotle is the exception! That’s why their stock has soared!

About 5 years ago. They found their lettuce was contaminated with E-Coli. Analysis indicated it was "laboratory grade". This meant it was intentional by some one who wanted to make money in shorting their stock or wanting to put them out of business. The E-coli contaminating

lettuce is usually caused by the wind picking up soil dust from near by stockyards and having it deposited on crops near by. Not sure what the case here was. Raising stock in confined areas causes all kinds of health issues. Since corporations control the process, NIH sits on their hands!

Yep, that's what to was about.

If the worker is worthy of $20, that is good. My 21-year-old grandson is in an Apprenticeship program as an Xray Tech, for welds. He's passed 3 tests, studying for # 4 and that is about what he earns. A burger flipper is not worth that. Kroger only pays an experienced cake decorator $15 an hour, but the kid stocking shelves now makes $2.00 more. They don't stay long either, too much work. The Cake decorator does stay, they are older and need the income/health ins.

Until they are cut to part time, then they don't get company benefits.

To much pre-made frozen food. Which is bad for your health.

I canned 7 pints of Potatoes the other day. From a Kroger sale, I have no room to plant them. We had a cold snap, so covered my young plants I couldn't get in the greenhouse. A balmy 48.
