Comparing wage workers to interns strikes me as disingenuous.

America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
Those poor abused fast food companies.
This would be a fencing school, not a fencing company.
This would be a Fence, also not a fencing company.
Fencing?
This is a nice wooden fence that appears to been installed a few weeks previous to the picture since the grass shows signs of recovery from the foot traffic necessary during installation. It likely was installed by a fencing company and they did a very nice job though it was not likely my brother's company since he prefers to use a distinctive cut top post design and not a capped wooden post such as shown.
Fencing?
Nice troll, great reading comprehension fail.

I've already given my thoughts on this particular topic in a few other threads over the years, but since it's being brought up again, I'll share them again.
Simply put, minimum wage causes unemployment. I say this as a person who runs a business every day for a living. It's very simple math. If I have ten dollars to spend on labor, I can either hire two people at 5 dollars each or one person at 9 dollars and save a dollar and overwork that one person.
All of you who don't run a business for a living and say "oh! why not just spend more on labor?!!?" or whatever idiotic argument you have because you don't actually understand how it works can just nip it. Get educated.
In one sense you're right. When minimum wage was last raised significantly fast food joints introduced self serve soda machine and were able to absorb the pay increase by cutting employees. It's also true though that paying people more leads to greater spending and more jobs. They may be new or different jobs and there will be turmoil while things settle out, but it won't hurt us to pay a higher minimum wage.
This whole minimum wage thing is just a symptom of a bigger problem. We're all making less than we used to and wealth is being consolidated by a very small group. The fast food workers are striking now because it's hitting them first and hardest. If this keeps up it will hit the rest of us too.
We need to raise taxes back up to where they used to be. Trickle down and supply side economics hasn't worked.

Merely saying something does not make it true, especially when it's false.
Razzle them. Dazzle them. Razzle dazzle them.
