I don’t feel like going through this whole thing, but is this one of those threads where Gutterboy gets everything wrong?

Chill out, buddy.  You don't have to go full tilt EVERY time.  All @TimHauck did was mention a good deal when he saw one.

I like chicken nuggets AND I've had covid shots, BTW.

Don't forget your chinese flu shot. "They" recommend keeping them up to date. 

Plus, Taco Bell crunchy tacos > nuggets.

Taco Bell is disgusting.  Whoever goes there must also like the taste of their own sh#t. 

Also, I have been keeping up on my shots.  Thanks for recommending it.

No shots for me. I must have a better constitution. And possibly it's because you eat the chicken butt nuggets and I don't..

I'm going to need to see a link with data to support your "better constitution" assertion.  Simply saying so doesn't make it so.

Also, what other shots do you NOT take that Alex Jones tells you not to take?

On Wednesday, the California Fast Food Workers Union (CAFFWU), part of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), demanded an increase of another 70 cents per hour by January during the first state’s Fast Food Council, according to KTLA 5 News.

I think these people should just quit wholesale...  I mean, where in the world can these places go to find such skill sets?   That would really teach those meaners at those low margin franchises....

And then they'll cry foul when fast food places lean even harder into automation in order to save the cost (and headaches) of these wage increase demands.

Which of course I hope they do......and in the end it will be a big win for them, and by extension those who would use their products.....of course the people with no skill sets or inclination to gain them are going to find it harder and harder to just get by...... oh well, maybe dont stay in minimum wage jobs which are mainly for teenagers to make spare change

Not true for the fast food industry in California.

https://www.hoover.org/research/california-loses-nearly-10000-fast-food-jobs-after-20-minimum-wage-signed-last-fall#:~:text=About 30 percent of fast,and twenty-four years old.

About 30 percent of fast-food workers are teens, and another 30 percent are between twenty and twenty-four years old. With 60 percent of its workforce twenty-four or younger, the fast-food industry stands in sharp contrast to the other industries, in which only about 13 percent of workers are that young.

Excellent link.  Based on these statistics it strengthens the position that fast food workers don't need additional wage increases. 

Proves RLLDs point that if you're still working in fast food after 24 then don't go b1tching about needing more pay.

Actually, it doesn't.

Who was arguing this wage increase was needed because the jobs were done by mostly teenagers?

I think the fact that fast food workers themselves - which you showed is 60% kids under 24 - are DEMANDING these increases correlates to them arguing that the increase is needed.

Oh so you're ignoring @RLLDpoint because you're focused on the word "teenagers" even though your link says 60% are 24 or younger.  That's still basically a kid that shouldn't expect a fast food job to be a career choice and therefore shouldn't be DEMANDING wage increases.  Maybe if they didn't expect their phones to replace basic math skills they could get a better job? 

My god you are a coont.

Another one bites the dust: https://thepostmillennial.com/shake-shack-shutters-6-california-locations-after-20-min-wage-hike

This one specifically sites the min wage hike. 

After California Gov. Newsom signed the $20 minimum wage hike into law which took effect in April, there have been mass layoffs and business closures within the restaurant industry. Shake Shack, a popular burger joint, is the latest to announce the impact the law has had on its operations. It is now set to close six of its California locations as a result.

Skake Shack sucks anyways.  Good riddance.   Trust me, no one here is starving because Shake Shack closed 6 joints.   All those workers will just get jobs at In N Out within a week.

That's not the point, dipsh#t.

You far left nut jobs always have the same excuse every time your policies have the exact opposite effect.  "Well, we didn't need that anyways."

Do you live next to a Shake Shack in CA that was shut down?   Are you missing your Shack Stack Burger. WAHHHHHH Sorry for your loss.   I'm guessing you living in bum F--- Wyoming and this doesn't affect you at all.

 Again, more distraction from you. I don't have to live next to a shake shack to have an opinion. D******.
