Anyone can take an order at McDonalds. Anyone can assemble a hamburger. These are lower-end jobs but remain important for people struggling to make ends meet. Demanding a doubling or tripling of wages, however, does not produce wealth- it just forces companies to find different solutions to the problem of labor costs. The below video indicates how the “leader” of the $15 an hour fight simply doesn’t “get it.”
In another great interview by Neil Cavuto, he talked to a fast food worker and minimum wage protester who showed why she’s stuck in a dead end job and will never be worthy of anything above minimum wage.
Watch as she simply denies reality over and over:
It’s just remarkable how her only response to every objection Neil brings up is to deny it – no reasoning behind why he’s wrong, she just denies everything. Can I maybe opine that perhaps some people who are working these minimum wage jobs are of the caliber that they cannot reason through problem solving when they simply deny reality?
It’s ironic that the left continues to talk about supposed rightwing betrayal of future generations when refusing to deal with the fictitious problem of global warming, but seem to understand that their economic “victories” serve as the greatest threat to continued American prosperity.
People who did not gain further education or who have not obtained the skills necessary to compete at a higher level will work in lower-end jobs. These people should make less money than that offered to skilled labor. Continuing to demand (and receive) pay increases will only prompt outsourcing and automated labor to do these jobs.
If these nutjobs want to be replaced by robots who can assemble a Big Mac, then keep this nonsense up…
