      Dude, it’s McDonald’s. Like, almost anyone can do it. It takes an hour’s worth of training, and no specialized skills, and they’re paying 275% above the federal minimum wage.

        The federal minimum wage is already impossibly low. That’s not a useful comparison.

          So you don’t think $20 an hour to work at McDonald’s as a brand new employee, living somewhere like Tulare, CA is fair? What do you think is fair then?

          I never said they don’t deserve it, I said it’s 275% above minimum wage for menial labor. Seems pretty great to me, but the person I was replying to still seems to be complaining about it.

          Edit: regarding NBA players, they’re the absolute best in the entire world at what they do, and they’re part of an industry that makes money hand over fist. There’s only a few hundred people on the planet that can play at that level. They’ve trained their entire lives to get to where they are.
