It is not my responsibility to pay his workers. It is not your responsibility to pay his workers. Yes, but we do when we buy any product from any business, unless you steal the product or service. If he can not pay his workers a living wage let him go out of business. WTF? Fine with me and yes, that's part of the risk any business takes, except the businesses "required" to survive no matter what by the nanny state, like big banks and the MIC. Then we have to pay again as fast food nutrition is deadly. Yes again, but does that mean that you'd like all of them to disappear by law and put all their employees and employees in related businesses on unemployment? (Real question, I honestly don't know and I'm pretty sure that some would agree) McDonalds is far from the only business to which that original quote applies. the basic point is that they're able and capable of working in that first place, and then decide not to and live by welfare 100%... what a great, moral and ethical choice... and a "great" example for any of his/her children You didn't comment. Do you approve of that kind of unethical behavior? And how high should the wage be or get to until they get replaced by [literate, etc.] computers? Or will the force of law be used to prevent the use of computers? You didn't comment. Would you approve of the use of the force of law being used to prevent the use of computers when the labor price gets so high that it's either use computers or go out of business and most or all lose their jobs? My overall point is that the situation is far from as simple and easy to solve as it seems, and the laws of unintended consequences are almost always alive and well, much like many of the fast food restaurant health tradeoffs that we now know. And BTW, McDonalds only uses 100% beef per their own marketing these days due to stories and images like that. The free market, more health consciousness, and an honest MSM, etc. changed their practices, same with their excessively hot coffee and legal actions. And no, I'm not much of a McDonald's fan or customer either.
