Hardworking and diligent people don't earn minimum wage; they make a lot more than minimum wage.
Minimum wage is earned by students, senior citizens, and underachievers.

You've never worked at Taco Bell, have you?
I've never even ate at a Taco Bell.
You truly have zero idea what you're talking about. None. Zip. You're clueless, callous, and out of touch with reality.
This kind of ignorance goes a ways towards explaining what's wrong with us.

Today Fast Food workers all across America are protesting demanding to be paid more.

This is a battle they will not win. After all..... even if they win.... they will lose.
It's fairly simple..... if we force private companies to pay a wage that is above what the market demands, companies will be forced to employ less people and fire folks that might normally be needed and employed.
And even worse.... If the minimum wage is inflated, companies will raise prices to accommodate the new wage thereby raising the cost of living and making the new wage less valuable.
It's self defeating to fight against the free market.
Your socialism/communism/Marxism guarantees everyone to be poor with no chance of not being poor. All you have to do is look at Cuba, North Korea, etc.
As long as you are falsely labelling people, why not also just ignore that Cuba and North Korea were intentionally isolated.
So, you're claiming that communism works if there is no isolation?
No. My point should be clear.
Theoretical economists were shocked when Henry Ford paid his workers double the going rate. Henry wasn't doing it out of kindness; he was an autocrat, who detested unions.
He simply realized that he could sell more cars, if there were more people able to buy them. This is why the economy repeatedly defies supply-side economists, and doesn't tank each time the minimum wage goes up. In fact, there's no discernible trend at all from raises in the minimum wage.
That would make a great commercial for them.
Get several people like you and bring them to Taco Bell.
The camera is on you while you enjoy your first Gordita.
But all goes wrong when you realize the Taco Bell workers you've insulted spit in it.
I go back and forth on the minimum wage issue. FWIW In-N-Out pays the highest wages by far in the fast food industry. In-N-Out's starting wage is $10.50/hr, $2 more than the next fast food company. They also give medical, vision, and dental coverage. In-N-Out is privately owned ans was founded by a family who believed in making a quality product, focusing on customer satisfaction, and treating their employees fairly. Today In-N-Out is owned by the granddaughter of the founders.

We should let them go hungry, and homeless, and eventually die under a bridge, somewhere, as punishment for not making themselves useful servants of the gods of profit.But it does leave us with a huge economic problem, looming larger every day. What do we do with the increasingly unemployable humans?
Only because Senior Citizens are now working at McDonald's and other fast food restaurants because they are living older and retiring earlier.
Which is why you should go by the median age, and not the average age.
For example, if four 16 year olds and one 87 year old work at McDonald's, the average age would be 30 years old, whereas the median age would be 16 years old.
I don't think so.
Sitting around doing nothing will shorten your life quicker than working.
