  $15/hour get the eff outta here

$15/hour get the eff outta here

FWIW, I like fast food.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

$15/hour get the eff outta here

I like it when I can agree with MIR on something.

Man, that would piss me off. Who do they think they are? I made half that as a pup.

this is very rough math, but

average salary out of college: 45,000

divided by twelve months: 3,750 per month

let's say that person works 180 hours per month (again, rough math)

3,750 / 180 = $20.83/hr

so fast food workers should make 75% of what college grads make?

Yes. I did the same math in my head. So redic.

How much should they make? Minimum wage across the board?

Not sure, but not $15. $10? I know some college grads that start out at that too.

Sounds about right

[420seriouscat69]

Maybe they should work their way up to that amount instead of having it handed to them. #Merica

i'm all for fast food people and all humans in general making as much as they can make.

[michigancat]

You would have to pay me more than I currently earn to get me to work fast food. Isn't capitalism a funny thing?

[wetwillie]

Thanks obama

Yeah, I'm for people exercising their first amendment rights, too. Sucks for them if they get fired though.

[IPA4Me]

Fast food made to order.

How many workers will this machine eliminate?

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

Flipping burgers and dunking fries in hot grease is not meant to be a career. If that's all your capable of achieving, maybe the US just isn't for you.

The market will dictate that.

Is a mass protest considered a market force?

[Spracne]

Many of these folks would be out of a job if they got their wish.

there are several million people out of work that can handle their job.

it's not who CAN, but who WOULD. if the demand for workers exceeds supply of willing workers because of all this, then they will be forced to raise wages. so, yes, a market force.

['taterblast]

what i'm saying is my opinion that a minimum wage of 15 bucks for fast food workers is ridiculous means nothing.

if this effectively drives up their wages then why shouldn't they do it?
