Hey why don't they organize and demand higher pay. Oh right

We still have a union, and I definitely can't complain about the pay, but according to that guy I should be pulling in a 7-8 figure salary. So give me some money. I even keep those ungrateful CEO's from smacking into planes full of mere commoners when they're flying to the Caribbean on their G6.

Well if they did that now the FAA would be unable to hire any more controllers because nobody can pass their dumb psychological screening.

Hey My Imaginary GF if everything boils down to revenue why has the funding for the IRS been slashed every year since the Republicans gained congress, when every dollar spent on tax enforcement brings 50 dollars in return?

Because Republicans are assholes, which is why you should give some money to your local democratic party.

Always vote D for Congress. Now, for President? I dunno if I can trust Hillary to support Israel when its in America's interest but not Hillary's, hence why I'd much rather vote for Biden, or, god forbid if Hillary doesn't reassure me, Jeb.

Somebody needs to start a new ThisFuckingElection right now, and just have it be CHIPOTLE in giant text. This story is killing me. I live in a country where Mexican food almost doesn't exist. I can go to a somewhat okay restaurant if I travel 40 minutes on the train and pay like $25 to eat there. I can also attempt to make something on my own at home. Neither of these options match the Qdoba steak nachos I'm craving. If this Chipotle story lasts another week I'm gonna go on a week long homemade Mexican food binge. People are gonna find me holed up in my apartment eating cold refried beans out of a can with a spoon while sobbing uncontrollably.

It's going to be an amazing spectacle, a can't miss entertainment event.

Of course that such a spectacle decides the leader of the most powerful nation in the world is....kind of terrifying.

Chipotle is the McDonald's of buritos. In public, Hillary calls for paying burito artisans up to 50% more, of which much will be passed onto the consumer. In private, Hillary orders $20+ of buritos and leaves no tip. How can we trust someone who has such a divide between their public rhetoric and private life?

Hey, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm going to call myself Mr. Friendly.

If increasing wages to 15$ forces you to charge 50% more for food, you're a poo poo manager who doesn't know how to handle your revenue.

So Walmart closed five stores across the country and laid off 2,000 people for "plumbing issues". Apparently they were stores that were the most active in organizing for higher pay. Hmm. Shame about their plumbing.

Uh, the stores were in mostly right-to-work states... are you quite certain?

One store was in California, two were in Texas, another in UtahFlorida, and the last in Oklahoma.

Any source on this?

One of the stores that closed was the scene of union organizing and Black Friday protests a few years ago, but the :supaburn: source I have is a Daily Kos article so...

I have witnessed the opposite in concerns to the Walmart closings. These closings are due to the fact that Walmart announced that they were increasing their base pay. Walmart can now not afford to keep these stores open.....SEE WHAT RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE DOES! :viggo:
