$15 minimum wage L.A. in 2020..will you purchase a $9.50 Big mac?

All I know is I better make 2/3 more by 2020 if those who did nothing to make themselves valuable get a 2/3 pay raise! Everyone with me, let's dilute their pay!

For your information California has a total deficit of $426 billion, and has to issue Go Bonds at the beginning of each year to meet the projected annual deficit! Fact!

New York has a total deficit of $367 billion!

Texas has a total deficit of $295 billion!

Florida has a total deficit of $166 billion!

Pennsylvania has a total deficit of $128 billion!

New Jersey has a total deficit of $112 billion!

Massachusetts has a total deficit of $101 billion!

Why not. The way it's going, a box of cereal will be twenty bucks in 2020, and milk $10 a gallon.

Big Macs will be cheap in comparison.

You might not be able too, a $15 dollar hike in the minimum wage will close some McDonalds' locations.

That makes 22 states that have raised the minimum wage. Ironically, the state's who oppose are facing large deficits.

I don't know if there is a correlation.

The CEO of McDonald's tripled his salary a few years ago, costing the corporation more than raising the minimum wage nation wide would. The price of McDonald's "food" didn't increase one cent.

I'll happily pay more for a burger if the person who makes it makes a livable wage and has healthcare, because the thought of people putting their hands on my food without shelter or medical care is a bit disgusting and dangerous.

No, but then I wouldn't buy Big Macs if they cost ten cents. Get it? If McDonald's can't sell Big Macs while paying their employees a living wage, they shouldn't be in business in the first place.

We need to index minimum wage to inflation so we can keep that stuff in check.

If I get hungry, maybe. Of course, when my wages go up too, it will be a lot easier.

I would never travel to LA or any city with a population over 100,000
