yall ever think about how a fast food worker spends an hour making a poo poo load of value meals and their only reward is enough money to buy one for themselves

have kids? too bad.

McDonalds pay two value meals per hour now.

Anyway picture a McDonalds where you drive through and get a fryer full of hot grease sprayed into your car.

I ran restaurants for a decade buddy I know this hell from all sides

I pretty much suicide bombed my career prospects in the chain I worked at by saying things like, "I think maybe our turnover is through the roof because non-executive raises have been frozen for 3 years and benefits doubled in price and then we cut everybody's hours by 12+"

Oh and pointing out that maybe people are pissed that raises have been frozen for 3 years but the new CEO just got another 60% raise and everybody knows it lol

Been contemplating: since the right's propaganda basically runs on appealing to people's insecurities and massive collective persecution complex, which would trigger the biggest terrorboner to push for full-on fascism?

A: someone in the Trump administration gets assassinated in a convoluted Russian way (obviously forced heroin OD, buttplug covered in anthrax, hot tub full of DMSO, etc)
B: someone in the Trump administration gets assassinated in a traditionally American way (sniper, carbomb)
C: :foxnews: studio gets bombed
D: several Trump hotels/etc burn to the ground
E: Bannon gets shot but survives

The funny thing about these options is that they wouldn't even bother trying to blame a foreign influence. From tweet one this would be a "libruls tryin to ruin are country!" nightmare, wherein we continue to eat ourselves rather than raise taxes on the rich and immediately resolve every "crisis" we currently face.

Obama going after Trump just gives them the whole "we're being undermined by Soros, Obama, Hillary and the lying media" angle to run with even further and I think Obama knows that.

who gives a gently caress? The republicans don't let reality ever stop them anyways. they craft their own reality. obama has been island surfing with an australian billionaire since he left office, and they still claimed he was undermining trump through a shadow government

Obama should absolutely start undermining the GOP but lmao like he'd ever do that. He should be doing tons of super sarcastic tweets about how he wants to see the long form tax returns before he'll consider Trump to be POTUS

But that's not what we're getting from the guy who handed over the DREAM list to a nationalist xenophobe and sat idle as his party died at the state level. Unless he's out shilling for progressives he should probably just gently caress off right back to billionaire island

according to statista (which I've never heard of before so uh, grain of salt), the number of people employed in fast food stands at 3.7 million

I think the number of jobs that would be automated might stand a little higher than your tens of thousands number

The employees would probably just laugh, and they'd get a massive wave of complaints from the olds and shut ins to whom their daily McDonalds trip is their main social activity.

I love all the people who gloat about how kiosks will replace cashiers. Kiosks have been around forever buddy, and the most they've managed to do is convert the one cashier to being the one kiosk attendant, and usually they don't even do that.

They reduce lines and that's about it
