    Yep, same assholes that complain the “burger flippers” want more than minimum wage, but also want their stuff 30 secs after they place their order and to be treated like royalty.

    It’s going to blow their minds that the price of food is going to go up because nobody wants to work in horrific conditions for less money than these bigots would ever dream of.

    And for Native Americans, I wonder how many of these dumbasses make “reservation runs” for cheap cigs/gas that will vanish if they force them elsewhere.

      Step 1 round up 5M people.

      Step 2 announce what everyone knows that you can’t actually deport 5M people.

      Step 3 rent them back to their former employers

      Later on we can allow subcontracting people and fully restore slavery.

      They can even theoretically work their way to freedom except housing food etc can just cost more than they earn making it impossible to achieve

      The price of food is going up because corporations want to maximize profit and WILL make the consumer eat the cost and feel the outrage because the lowest paid employees want a somewhat sustainable wage and not be on welfare while still working 40+ hours a week however they can.

      Rising wages does not need to be an indication of rising prices, instead they could be an indication a company is doing well. And that’s sorta how it works in startup businesses and stuff right? Eventually that stops because the people making the decisions are now too far removed from the lowest rung, depending how big they grow and how susceptible to greed.

      They’ll also tell you that minimum wage jobs are for teenagers anyway, but not think anything of buying one of those burgers for lunch on a school day. And guess how they’re supposed to pay for college!

        Hell, I’d wager most of them fuckers don’t even work and are collecting fraudulent SSI and Disability checks and ain’t worked a day in their life since they were a teenager.

      Probably not many, considering the Native Americans in Kentucky (and almost all of the US east of the Mississippi) were fully genocided and that state therefore doesn’t have any reservations.
