    Why do you hate livable wages?

    I know I know.....these multi-billion dollar businesses now can't afford it.

    Like those greedy billionaires that own the UPS Store franchise on Hwy 99? Or the Cinnabon franchise at the airport?

    Soak the rich!!1!!
    It actually the same problem on a different scale. Nearly 60% of the locations at best break even, and the other 40% experience modest profits. And if you have ever run a business, your #1 controllable expense is labor.

    At the same time UPS is on pace for huge profits in 2013.

    This is coming from someone who was a pure free market capitalist, but the system in starting to eat itself.

    Oh and 15$ isn't a liveable wage which is the point.

    Do you know who pays those wages?

    You do.

    Think a Big Mac will remain at $3 if minimum wage is $15?

    Think there will still be 15 people behind the counter?

    Welcome to the $10 Big Mac with a 20 minute wait ...

    But hey, at least the guy who dropped out of school in the 3rd grade and his barely legal roommate make $15 bucks an hour!

    What should VaDawg and his daughters do in Sea Tac after the game?

    The substance in the bag is too powdery for blow. No rocks at all, you wouldn't even need to chop that up. The substance on the fingers is interesting as well. I think that is mdma powder aka molly, not blow. Either way, it's a good recommendation for a night in Seattle.
