Fantastic sources of protein if consumed in high enough numbers.

I've literally seasoned charred field mouse with red ants because it tastes like lemon pepper chicken. Black ants are sweet, and red ants are tart.

Eat ants like crawdads? Pinch head and suck but?

I remember back during the Obama years, the conservative scare tactics Sean Hannity would use (I guess he still does it) was about rising food prices everytime the minimum wage issues was brought up. I don't miss listening to him.

That's great.

You used a franchise that generates about 5 million a year in revenue per location or the location is closed.

Now see how the small locally owned burger joint down the street that generates 400k a year goes out of business cause it can't compete.

Do you understand margins at all?

My ecomonics 101 teacher was an admitted Commie. True story and nice guy. Some idiot cheated off me on final exam and we were both called in to retake as they were not sure who cheated. I improved my score and he was probably booted.

I got the vibe my microeconomics teacher was probably a conservative or a Blue Dog Democrat. He was an NC State grad. He would tell us stories about how his father survived the Great Depression without any government assistance. He would give us the pro and cons about the private sector and the federal government. He favored the federal government being the one in charge of public works.

Corporations That Support The $15 Minimum Wage Can Afford It. Here’s Who Can’t

They hope it will put out small businesses.

1Its interesting how companies have changed to support dems and the dems love corporations now.

Corporate earnings look great right now, especially for companies that sell things DTC. It’s a great business model to have the government shut down all the small, primarily non-public businesses while the bigger players are considered essential.

Management at these companies know the game here - they can afford to weather the storm and are going to come out stronger on the other side. Thanks to shut downs that they will avoid. PPE requirements that they can afford.

COVID has been the biggest gift ever presented to big, public corporations. They are absolutely loving Democratic policy right now.

Nothing like the government helping take away people's jobs and livelihoods.

I think I've heard this story before...

I'll admit I haven't read hardly any posts in this thread, but here's my center-right, communist (LOL) take: A minimum wage hike is necessary. Certainly there should be exemptions to smaller businesses. I'm confident that companies like McDonald's, WalMart, Lowe's, etc., can absorb the higher wage and still provide an efficient, affordable product. It's imperative the smaller, "mom pop's", are free of the hike. My 0.02 worth

So damn disingenuous. There is nothing preventing them from raising their wage base on their own if they really feel that way. And then they would attract the best candidates in the employee pool.

Quite true. It's people demanding their taxes raise when they pay the fed gov any time.
