Fair point. That works for Europe because I think greed is less of an all-consuming force over across the pond, maybe. We’ve managed to make it something of a way of life here in the States.
Hopefully I’m wrong, and there is a way out of this hellhole that doesn’t involve mass unemployment. But given our past record with most things, I’m not holding my breath.
I mean, McDonald’s manages to pay employees in Europe a living wage, and it didn’t make the food completely unaffordable.
On the other hand, in the states, for a small meal just to yourself it’s more than $10, closer to $15 a lot of the time.
So the prices are going up here and they’re still not paying people worth a damn. I wonder what the disconnect here could be?
From what I understand, their sales are down, and so they’ve jacked up prices to fix the gap.
