And let's not forget all of those screwed over workers, horrific environmental costs and animal suffering that gets off-loaded to all of us so .99 burgers exist.
We're all deeply interconnected in this chain and we can be so ignorant of it all.
I worked fast food management for two years and most of my employees would be driving to work from 20-30 miles away because they cant afford to live in the same city as the restraunt. Not on minimum wage at least.
My cousin, a guy who dropped out of high school and struggles to hold fast food jobs (the only type of job he’s ever held), regularly posts memes on Facebook about how raising the minimum wage will ruin the economy. I shit you not.
Along the same line he’s been on public assistance/food stamps for the majority of his adult life, and just the other day he posted a meme comparing welfare recipients to wild animals by suggesting that since we’re not supposed to feed wild animals we shouldn’t be giving food vouchers to poor families.
