WWAWD $20 minimum for fast food employees in California

My Alma mater cut a program and it led to mass protests. So I looked up the tuition (roughly $11k per year) and job placement rates in that field (something anemic like 35-40%). Nice paying $75k for a degree with an average salary of $40k stupid. Most of the stuff that people are getting these worthless degrees in could be done in a 6 month to 2 year apprenticeship.
We also need a hell of a lot more housing so people can better afford to live near they work. Housing costs are probably one of he biggest drivers of the country's cost of living crisis. We're currently short about four million housing units in the country, especially in economically vibrant metropolitan areas that people actually want to live in (unlike Greenville, SC).
*smacks lips* its a tough one man, genuinely.
$5.28 an hour in 1980 is equivalent to $20 an hour today. It doesnt really bother me that the people who deal with the most obnoxious niggers, and asshole boomers make some livable scratch. I think Mcdonalds has enough money laying around.

Nah people just need to choose to stop paying for it. We’re far enough down this road that its obvious a degree isnt the magic key it used to be. If you still send your kid to school without knowing for sure college is the right choice, its on you. Or at least do 2 years at community
California makes it incredibly difficult to build anything. They should stop fucking with the minimum wage and let developers build.
I don't believe many McDonald's in CA are corporate owned.

Big companies want minimum wage increases because it shuts down all small competition, the margins of small and medium business is generally razor thin and they can’t afford this.
Increasing minimum wage often increases unemployment because:
1) lots of places simply can’t afford it
2) some people aren’t worth it and it just removes them from the jobs market aka niggers being elevator operators etc.
I'm not some kind of smart Jew with a degree in money-thinks, but wouldn't the value of labor inherently be diluted by overpopulation? Maybe we should stop printing so many goddamn people in the first place - they're not worth dick compared to the 90's! 
Will UBI be the final nail in the coffin of conservatism? Dramatically increased automation + dramatically decreasing avg IQ = ??.
I know in the past that conservatives have managed to just change their position overnight and survive (economic nationalism vs free trade, gay marriage/gay shit in general, etc.) but surely it will be hard to do the bit after UBI?

get a roommate faggot. like we did when we were 20.
They do. They have like 10 of them.
Believe me, I don’t like funding this shit either. Five guys costs $22 for lunch where I live now. That’s crazy but I don’t know how they’d stay open if the people who work there have nowhere to live around here. It’s a tough one man.
Money isn't real anymore.
Over 80% of the currency the US has ever printed in its history has been printed over the past 4 years.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need to make a maximum wage of like 30 bucks, and all the scum beaurocrats of DC need to live in 10x10 commie squalor blocks just because fuck them, make it an ammendment that they should be treated lower than dirt
"Why isn't my $400K degree in queer art theory getting me a seven figure a year job?".
Unironically the government needs to make corporations slaves. Instead of raising the minimum wage and killing small businesses just to get the corporations to pay their fair share just rape them. Out the ass. Sorry Mcdonalds, you’re paying your workers $20 an hour. And you’re not increasing the costs of your burger by a fucking cent. Oh your quarterly profits will go down??? Deal with it dumbass, you’ll make a billion rather than 2. Oh you’ll move out of the country?? Except you can’t because we own you now. Also we’re gonna execute half of the board and give their shares to regional managers across the country so, you know, the people who are working actually own and have a say in the company.

People hate on the self checkouts but that's exactly why they're there. BUT Walmart should hire more people! Do you want Dan's wife's shit cleaning hands bagging your groceries?
The Carl’s Jr (#ruizing) near my place has A.I. taking your orders. Speaks perfect English and gets the fawkin order right.
They may not own the franchise but they do own the land its on. Franchisees are forced to buy/build only on Mcdonalds owned land. Mcdonalds is one of the highest real estate developers/owners. If the franchise fails they dont lose out. They still own the prime real estate. Its a fantastic hustle they have pioneered.
It's pointless. That $20 will just be the new $15, which was the new $8. The value of the job is the same no matter whatever fake number they put on it. So, they get paid $20 instead of $10, their rent will go from $1,000 to $2,000, etc. It means nothing in the end.
Ive always wanted to be a millionaire anyways, child
