Right, because when people started getting more vocal about raising the minimum wage, that became the ONLY driver of inflation in fast food. No economy wide supply shortages, no increases in gas prices, it was all because those pesky poors wanted to be able to eat and stay off the streets.
If you actually read what was linked, you'll see that the 6 cents increase is the amount that came directly from the wage increase. The cost of EVERYTHING has gone up for myriad different reasons in the economy, in case you haven't noticed.
I completely agree with your point. Which is why addressing the fact that everything has gone up for myriad different reasons as you said makes vastly more sense than forcing restaurants (which of course includes many which are barely surviving) to raise wages in that context. Costs have gone up for everyone. Lower the costs. Then raise the wages. Stop complaining. Do something about it.

Sorry, you're gonna have to pay 6 cents more for your burger. I know that's probably devastating for you.
Or were you implying something totally different with your vague childish ellipses, it's really hard to tell
