      If you start at the bottom it will force those above to raise wages in order to compete.

      This focus is kinda weird ngl. Why is fast food entertainment being protected and promoted? Let the market crush this shit - we don’t need more McDonald’s garbage in this world.

        Welp, decades of data can tell you that “letting the market crush this shit” ain’t working.

          You and I have very different definitions on what it means to let the market do it’s thing, I think.

          You aware how heavily subsidized beef is, for McDonald’s sake?

            We can raise minimum wages and reduce subsidies. It’s not like it’s one or the other.

              We should shift the meat and dairy subsidies into fake/lab meat and oat milk.

                I’m from farm country (thankfully no CAFOs, locally) and ngl. While I like oat milk, I love cold, whole dairy milk. As in I live alone and easily drink a gallon or more per week.

                  At 52 gallons a year you are drinking over 3x the average amount of milk

                    Probably. It helps stretch the “food.”

              One lobby is regular people; the other are billionaires and corporations.

          In a way it does protect the market by forcing it competitive. The market definitely has the power to squeeze fast food out of existence.
