E36 | McDonald’s is Not an End Goal

Current talk on the town is raising the national minimum wage to $25 per hour. While this may sound great to anyone who’s not there currently, this sounds horrible when thinking about the future of America’s economic state. Sure, you may now meet the minimum three times the rent to have an apartment, but you can also expect to pay an easy $12 for a burger…without fries and a drink. Yes, people need to make a wage to live, but why strive for self betterment when one can ask “does that complete your order?” and live in the same middle working class neighborhoods, that prior, required true effort and years on the job to obtain.
