    Have I tried? No, I have not tried. I don’t see much benefit in trying to work at McDonalds.

      You can try it even without working at McDonalds or changing your employment at all! You seem pretty smart though so I’ll leave that to you to figure out how.

        Yeh, I’m also not going to voluntarily refuse money that I earned with my labor so that I can learn about how hard it is to be you.

          You also don’t need to refuse any money. You’re almost there.

          I sit in the top 8% of US earners last I checked. It’s really not hard to be me. I’m just cognizant of the unfairness of the system.

      Exactly why they have trouble finding workers! You are not smarter than these people like you think you are. You are the same

        And if they have trouble finding workers they’ll be forced to pay more. That’s how markets work.

          You realize that it’s the whole point of the post ? That renders your argument that small business is hard irrelevant. People don’t want shitty wages for the same reason you said regarding McDonald’s. So small business owners have to adapt or their business model will just die out.
