Fast Food Forward is fake | a Twitter conversation
Fast Food Forward is fake
Fast Food Forward and other groups are organizing a strike of fast food workers on Thursday, 12/5/13 ( peekURL.com/zyXjz4t ). They want McDonald's and other companies to raise wages.
Like others, Fast Food Forward are fake: they want their Happy Meal and they want to eat it too. They want higher wages, but they also want high immigration that will help McDonalds keep wages low.
It's simple Econ 101 that more of a supply equals lower prices. More people who can work in fast food means lower wages; fewer people who can work in fast food means higher wages. Yet, as can be seen by the responses (or lack thereof) below, Fast Food Forward won't support immigration policies that would increase wages. Instead, they support policies that would lower them.
