good post, .. McDonald's has gained, and the USA has lost, because of a longstanding virulent ideological anti-worker position in your country .. leading to exploitative dismal wage levels .. and so to less money circulating in the consumer, which you know costs jobs .. as the consumer is the chief job creator, whatever so many of your billionaire hoarder political drivers/social parasites like to say .. not all, but too many .. here are some i came across while on another mission, just to have some sort of McDonald's compilation including your post, on this board ..
lol .. ""We wanted to take swift action," Mueller-Curran said. "Our employees have always been our No. 1 priority.""
.. today is kinda my JFK assassination anniversary day, just in a date sense, of course .. there were many of the kind that prompted the negative comment above toward some of the most wealthy in Dallas around that time .. sadly, too many of their children and others have not yet learned much at all about some obvious things that would help toward a more just, more fair and more equitable society in your USA .. some easy things which over time would contribute to a healthier social situation in the USA .. 50 years .. think about it ..

A nationwide effort to raise the minimum wage on Thursday led to the gathering of more than a dozen activists at the intersection of Paredes Line Road and Ruben M. Torres Sr. Boulevard.
Waving signs and chanting, mostly in Spanish, the protesters represented a local leg of a national effort involving fast-food worker strikes in 100 cities where protests were held, all rallying to increase the federal minimum wage.

Legislators in the state and across the country Thursday called for an increase to the minimum wage — a move that sparked more protest from fast-food workers.
Democrats were mostly behind the push, with Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., calling for an increase in the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 per hour in three annual steps of 95 cents each.
In the state, Rep. Patty Kim, D-Dauphin, introduced a minimum wage increase bill that called for wages to increase from $7.25 an hour to $9 an hour, and then to $10.10 an hour the year after the bill passes.
