Does seem worth noting that similar sentiments were expressed about the various things needing bailouts so far.

Just saying.

000's pun abilities exceed that of native speakers.

Also, fast food will never go under. I can see some franchise owners being forced to downsize or sell, or maybe close some stores, but those corporations have way too much money and way too much business to care. Strikes are nice, but like previously mentioned, those workers are expendable and easily replaced.

Yeah, I'm afraid the only way to really help low-end workers is better jobs all around, so that it's harder to get people to work in McSweatshops.

QuoteArnobio 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."

You know, I usually only get fast food if I need quick cheap eats, and I can't afford an extra 17 cents for the cheapest thing on the menu, then I may as well go home and get something out of the fridge. Totally cool with that price hike. Also, if it's $6.66 I'm more likely to get a big mac.
