McDonald's employees deserve the same quality of life as professionals. It's just the right thing to do.

It has nothing to do with quality of life it is all about the cost of a basic existence. The cost of a basic existence does not vary between professionals and burger flippers. The low wage worker is going to make their nut iin one of three ways...wages, crime, the dole or some combination of all three. Wages is the only legitimate way, the others lead to all manner of ill shite. Why we pretend labor is a commodity which can be laid up when not needed is beyond me. An individual is going to make their nut...we can either expect their employer to make them whole or we can subsidize the employers production costs....there ain't no free lunch.
