The stupid dorks.
I just saw a blurb the other day where the Burger Kings etc that are on bases are closing down due to Oblunders move to increase the MW for Federal contractors. The owners can't afford to pay it.
Seattle right? Let's see, Washington has legal dope now correct? So now every stoner working at McDonald's is going to make 15 bucks per hr.
Nice, a Big Mac will now cost 8 bucks or so.

I'm all for it. When it gets close to what I'm making now I'm going to quit my job and go flip burgers instead. How relaxing and stress free would that be? What? You mean I just have to stand here and cook fast food all day? And you're going to pay me how much? Sign me up.

Watch everything that $15/hour (fast food, labor, other unskilled positions) touches get instantly more expensive.

This! Cuz you know the rest of us are not going to get a raise commensurate with our qualifications.

This and self serve kiosks just got more cost effective. How about a completely automated taco bell.

Making those unskilled and unemployable now even more dependant on the system.

And then the idiot Libs (i.e. people who failed Econ 101) will blame it on the "greedy 1% who just want to make poor people poorer."

These liberal motherfuckers are certifiable crazy. I will LOVE watching them descend into madness while they eat there own to survive, or maybe they could just eat all the aborted babies instead of burning them.

America has lost it's fucking mind!
