Fast food workers on strike

At least in English. I can't speak for other languages.

True.  I can't pun in Spanish.

I can note interesting similarities in others but don't have a strong enough command to make use of it.

For example in Irish the word for a Catholic Mass is aifreann. The word for Hell is ifreann. Francach means both rat and Frenchman.

Lochlannach means both Norwegian and pirate, but that's not exactly a coincidence.

000's pun abilities exceed that of native speakers.

NO TIE FIGHTING!!

There's Russian penis jokes. I wish I spoke Russian, because I'd never stop.

Gods, you can even handle the sci-fi angle.

Stop this below sea-level beast before he gives you a tea bag porcelain thingie, which I use to this day.

Arnobio Morelix, a student at the University of Kansas School of Business, found himself asking the same question, so he did some financial modeling based on McDonald's annual reports and data sets submitted to investors.

Morelix's take: If McDonald's workers were paid the $15 they're demanding, the cost of a Big Mac would go up 68 cents, from its current price of $3.99 to $4.67.

A Big Mac meal would cost $6.66 rather than $5.69, and the chain's famous Dollar Menu would go for $1.17.

"Some folks online are complaining they will not pay $2 for their Dollar Menu, but the truth is that even if McDonald's doubled salaries the price hike would not be 100%," Morelix said. "I will be happy to pay 17 cents more for my Dollar Menu so that fast food workers can have a living wage, and I believe people deserve to know that price hikes would not be as high as it is often portrayed."

That's more than reasonable, IMO.

Maybe it's just from growing up in the UK, but I've never seen fast food as cheap food, except possibly in terms of quality.  It will always be cheaper to make something at home.  I'm paying for the convenience of not having to do that, and an extra dollar here or there is not going to break the bank, given fast food is the exception when it comes to my eating habits, and not the rule.
