If you're going to pay fifteen an hour , you have a right to expect more from your employee, probably more than many average McDonalds employee are capable of giving. Might require some *focused* attention. Of course, if you are more efficient and accomplishing more, you'll need fewer workers to assist you. Which means fewer jobs. A higher wage may mean more for you but it also means more from you.If someone complains about their eight dollar an hour job now, wait till they have a fifteen dollar an hour job.

So, you apparently frequent Mcdonalds. Then you should be willing to pay the labor a barely living wage for your cheap meal. Or maybe that cheap meal will cost a bit more 'cause the fast food outlet will have to pay their employees more. That could be a hardship for you, Mike. From: "awoelflebater@...

Conceal andcarry permits are pretty rare. When you thinkabout it though, when has society not been in roughshape? I guess thesemass shootings are a new development, so perhapsthat is thecase. What Iam saying, Steve, is that the apparent runawaytrain of gun ownership and lethal gun use onfellow human beings seems to be tied to the stateof our society where absurdly rich existgeographically within spitting distance of thosewho can't afford a decent meal (I was listening toNPR tonight driving home from work and there wasan interview where they were talking about thewealthy in Manhattan whose net income per yearwas, on average, 120K and just a 25 minute commuteaway in the Bronx were folks who made, on average$20K per annum). This creates a problem. Thiscreates the potential for violence. This can makepeople crazy with resentment, with need and thenplace a gun in their hands and all bets are off.Threatening becomes easy. Killing becomes morelikely than not killing. Perhaps then we need a maximum wage if we're going to have a minimumwage. For about the last 25 years it's been "see how much money youcan accumulate. He with the most bucks wins." Maybe, but in our current system (capitalism) that might be a bit hard to implement. On the other hand, I hear in America some politicians are gunning for a $15/hr minimum wage. Good. Sowhen you say "the vast majority keep them at homefor protection." then you agree with what my pointwas! This is what I'm saying. Too many feel theyneed protection from the threat from their fellowcitizens, their (geographically speaking)neighbors, for crying out loud! And why would thisbe? I think there are a multitude of reasons butthe disparity in economic conditions betweenAmericans is one of them, for sure. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,<awoelflebater@...> wrote : But, suchhigh profile mass shootings are bound tocreate media hyper ventilation and theresulting outrage and lamenting iscontinuously ignited by these relativelycommon occurrences in schools, movietheaters and elsewhere. It is a subjectthat deserves attention because it alsoindicates something deeper - is abarometer for other social diseaserampant in (in this case) the US. Gunsseem to accompany fear and rage andmental illness but not necessarily inall cases when their use is against aneighbor, a classroom, an employer. Theneed to own guns, to have them handyat all times, is an indicator or asociety in rough shape. When you can't feel safe unlessyou have a gun in your possession itpoints to economic reasons as well.Drug addiction, poverty, lack ofresources can lead citizens to assumethey can take what they need at thepoint of a gun, for example. Whole cityblocks and blocks of substandard livingconditions or millions of peoplescraping by all over America aretestimony to the sorry state of oursociety. Even the vehemence with whichgun lovers defend their (and by defaulteveryone's) right to own and carry a gunis based in fear and a distorted ideathat to change the Constitution withregard to gun ownership rights wouldsomehow be un-American or evensacrilegious. This whole gun issuereveals far more than just how peoplefeel about arms. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,<awoelflebater@...> wrote : More than 10,000 Americans arekilled every year by gun violence.
