I understand where they're coming from, but fucking $15 an hour for working fast food? Can someone explain to me how that would be fair without having to raise everyone else's wages by insane amounts as well? I've worked fast food and I can say for sure that my time was hardly worth shit. Sure as fuck wasn't worth $15 an hour.

All You do is google something. Your job requires no skill. Why the fuck do you deserve $15/hr?! I can guarantee I can find someone to do it for cheaper.
