You really should research the world a little bit before you let your ass cheeks do your talking for you.

You tell only part of the story there bubble boy. McDonalds can afford to pay it's employees a reasonable wage.
McDonald's announced Monday that it raked in $1.5 billion in profits in the third quarter, up 5 percent from last year.
The number is strikingly close to the $1.2 billion taxpayers are shelling out each year to help pay public assistance to the McDonald's workforce, according to a report released last week by the National Employment Law Project.
The echoing numbers are simply a coincidence, but underscore the immense profits that the chain continues to pull in while its workers simply struggle to afford food, medical help and housing. The public assistance McDonald's workers receive comes via food stamps, welfare, Medicaid and other federal programs, according to the NELP report.
Then again, I could use your mentality and not give a fuck. I've never made $8/hr in my life. I make decisions on whether I should have a small Indian team do development for me rather than myself because I cost more per hour than a team of 3 keyboard bangers.

Your math is suspect, along with your hyperbolic reaction.
The increase is over 3 years...businesses on the threshold of failure will fail anyway, irrespective of subtle changes to labour costs.
Do you have any data on capital/labour cost structures for these "coffee shops, laundromats, etc." by which you can justify your fears?
Think about productivity and how it is calculated.
How is $1/hr going to affect it? Then consider the marginal propensity to consume for those actually earning that egregious increase of wage.
Do you honestly believe that people below the median income who are earning that wage will hoard the cash?
Now take that money and throw it in the hands of the well-off... what are they doing with it? Think hard on that one...
Those with poor management skills and an inability to adapt will be cleared out leaving extra business for those that remain, at worst. At best, this will help to tighten the GINI, while stimulating base economic activity (which was supposed to be the goal of all that "trickle-down" QE in the first place).
By any chance are you a Neo-Liberal?

I was naming different local businesses we're all familiar with, which usually employ minimum wage workers. Gas stations, shops, laundromats. If your labor costs rise, your profits will fall unless you pass the cost along to the end user.Your math is suspect, along with your hyperbolic reaction.

I want people to make whatever they can, working hard to the best of their ability. And I don't care what workers or restaurant owners do with their cash. I worry about my own business.

Holy shit, maybe it was a good thing I got banned.
I see the same names as before but it must be their children speaking now because holy shit do you people actually have a say in what happens in this country? CC let me use his name to post and he's goning to be pissed that I abused his trust by say that you all are pretty fucked up in the childish back and forth about nonsense routine. The OP is the first, but not the worst, inflamed dick to spew his poisoned seed. I'm gonna have a good cry for the future. Sorry CC but these people are disgusting.

you were specializing in unsupported, anecdotal failery.
Whoa my little lefty friend, instead of telling half the story, you're telling the wrong story.
The majority of the McDonalds restaurants are franchised (privately owned) McDonalds corporate with the $billion profits you are touting, make that by charging a franchise fee (% of sales). The net profits and payroll from each individual restaurant has nothing to do with corporate, it's all on the private owner.
But being a business man yourself, you knew that, right?

Of course it can, but it doesn't have to nor does it want to. At the end of the day "burger flipping" is not skill.

Yet it was Democrats who just got rid of the filibuster. Yet it was Democrats, and only Democrats, who have asserted an unconstitutional veto power by the Senate Majority leader.

LOndonfog can afford to pay his employees more, too. So you're one of those greedy corporations exporting America jobs? Typical liberal. Do as I say, not as I do.
