Just last week we were excoriating the anus-burger-dispensing corporate lackeys at McDonald’s for dispensing billions of dollars back to shareholders while continuing to pay store employees an hourly wage that would embarrass a Gilded Age robber baron. So good news for our communist souls: the Seattle City Council
From the view of the people: You can give the people wages that allow them to survive, or you can wait until the people come and collect what they need to survive from where they see those things concentrated.
The view from the oligarhs: I am not going to pay people NOT to riot and steal and pillage from me! That is ABSURD. Instead, I'll pay economists to do studies and news-readers and editorialists to call these 'so-called living wages' into question and politicians to say things like "ITS A JERB KILLER!"
The illustration! ... You youngsters won&#039;t remember the <i>Great War on Paultards</i> (and given the state of the archives, you won&#039;t see too much here either). But in days of old, Wonkette was in the Great Paultard War.
How much are people in other states are going to freak the fuck out about this because most people don&#039;t realize how different the cost of living can be in different parts of the country?
It is cheaper to take the train from anywhere in Seattle to the airport than to drive your car and park in the long-term lot. Now if only there were a 520/90 train for the morning commute...

That&#039;s bad news for John McCain (when he retires from politics to become a pool boy).
Ug, I just grossed myself out.
It will be bad for McDonalds when its workers can afford to eat somewhere else.
First, they have to form a tax-exempt front group like People Outraged Over Ridiculous Spending Under Climbing Kitchen Wages or POORSUCKWAGES.

I think you mean &quot;tax-exempt <i>grassroots coalition</i>.&quot;
