| 1. The fault is not McDonald's |
|
but the fact that the federal minimum is too low, and likely to go lower.

| 4. Paul Krugman's been harping on this for years |
|
that the Republican agenda includes doing away altogether with a minimum wage. Probably not something that will occur soon.
What you're seeing happening with SS is around the corner with minimum wage. Keep a lookout for "Minimum Wage Reform", "Fixed Wage Reform" or some other such nonsense.

*sigh* Self edited for content.
It's not so much that they are outsourcing the drive-thru jobs, but the idea that they are going to pay the operators less than the under-paid wage slaves already doing the work. It's not like McDonald's is hurting for money!

| 6. McDonalds is utterly disgusting |

I'd rather eat dirt- literally- than eat anything they sell.
Interestingly enough, several of my professors WILL NOT allow Mcdonalds or other fast food like Taco Bell into the classroom, because the rank smell nauseates some people.

| 7. Read about this a long time ago |
|
We'll be giving our orders to folks in India soon. I don't know what the hell US workers are supposed to do. These CEO's are just stupid.
