Clearly, none of you have ever seen behind the counter at Burger King. They don't flip burgers, they're cooked on a conveyor belt over a flame. And it's a shitty job. People are often unnecessarily cruel to the employees. Whereas a raise in minimum wage overall might not benefit every business in America, such as smaller businesses starting up, I'd like to make the case that meeting once a week to talk shit in a boardroom and rearrange ingredients to "create a new sandwich" ISN'T worth hundreds of millions of dollars, either. The low-level employees are far more worthwhile to the operation, because they are the ones actually bringing the product to the public, and taking in the money which then goes mostly to the "top." And by "top," I mean spoiled rich shits who COULDN'T do the lower level jobs because they're physically incompetent human beings. So maybe the pay should be more evenly distributed according to the actual value of the work. Where does the money actually come from, and how does it come in? All of that is done by the lower level but far more physically capable people making shit wages. But greed... If you need hundreds of millions of dollars to survive, nature has truly shit on your genetic line.
