SEIU Man: If McDonald’s Strikers Don’t Get What They Want, They May Contaminate the Food

Frack you and the luck you rode in on, Anonymous Cocksucker.

i didn't get "lucky". I was born to a hippy mother and an alcoholic father who wouldn't get clean and hold a job. I gew up embarassed by the fact that we got food stamps. I busted my ass working crap jobs in retail through college - often 2 at a time, and that was after serving a tour in the Army to earn a College Fund. I did combat time - I sure as hell earned my BSEE.

Then I went back into the service and did another tour. I saw combat, again...and earned my masters - I finished writing my thesis "in my free time" while serving in a little place called Lasker Gha, in kandahar Province.

Then, I came home and busted my ass another 3 years in the civilian world doing on-call slave schedule and lots of travel to earn the title "Senior Engineer", and another 5 years dealing with "problem customers" to earn the position of "Principal Engineer".

So, 20 years later, I think I've earned the right to say "My money is my own. Fuck off and die if you don't like that".

So there it is - from "welfare baby" to "Principal Engineer"...not bad, huh?

No it wont. Any high school economics text can explain why not. So should your common sense. No one will pay that for a fast food burger when a restaurant burger is twelve bucks and ground beef is less than that. .


What will happen is a fast food owner will make lesprofit. She wont close the business as long as she makes some profit. There is no point at which free money is too much bother to collect.

People who say everything will be unaffordable if we pay folks whatbthey need to live are silly alarmist shills.

Anyone who thinks a fast food worker should make double min wage...doesn't understand even the basics of economics, and why that just can't happen.

Oh my goodness! Thats like saying if I dont get what I want I will poop in the toilet. The food is already contaminated. The food is contamination.

Don't pass along more lore about the disgusting practices of McDonald's employees. We all know. They spit on the grill. They put your burger on their buns. They do revolting things. They always have. Adolescent rite of passage.

Now think this through. What will happen when McDonald's workers get paid fifteen dollars an hour? Will the calibre of people working there go up or Down? Hmmm? Will the "fuck you, world" attitude get better or worse?

Think outside the "poor people are meant to be screwed" box and wonder what will happen.

Maybe there's some wiggle room there. Maybe not. But rather than put up with paying $15 an hour, why not fire all the workers, sell back the franchise to McDonald's corp., and reopen your store as Fred's Hamburgers. Hire nonunion labor.

The business owner isn't entirely helpless here. The things is, you learn this the hard way. How much can you push? Do you want to find out?
