I am aware. That financial release is from Yum Brands, which owns Pizza Hut. The franchise owners have to pay Yum Brands to be a franchisee.
None of which changes the fact that this event is a result of corporate greed. If Yum wasn’t so greedy, the franchize owners could afford it. So as a whole, as an entire organization they are quite capable of paying a $20 wage. But they aren’t, because of greed.
Umm… no. They couldn’t afford it and got rid of the employees. Businesses are not charities. If the employees created 20 dollars an hour in value, they would have been kept. They didn’t. So they will be let go. Laws have consequences
Right. And that is exactly why taxes need to be increased on the parent corporations back to the 90% level we had when Republicans weren’t greedy, self-obsessed paychopaths.
Yes, but the tax cuts were conditional upon actually contributing to society in providing jobs. That was the entire point. It is a much better system than letting someone amass an ord as much wealth as possible without contributing anything to to the society that gives them the freedom to do so. They wanted tax cuts they had to earn them. They weren’t just freely given and guaranteed in exchange for a pac donation. The system that we have now that conservatives keep defending is called corruption in any other Nation.
So you are fine with non minimum wage like Denmark? You are also fine with almost no full time workers like the McDonald’s in Denmark ?
You’re also fine with those wages being taxed at a much higher rate on those workers?
Pizza hut corp is not the frachisees. Its stupid, and greedy, but the franchisees are fucked in this situation.

Eisenhower ftw Reagan sucks ass
You realize the rate was never really used? The amount of deductions were much greater back then. In effect you’d be giving them a huge tax cut.

So then you agree that corporate taxes are too low and need to be raised back to Eisenhower levels.
No. We’d collect less money. We have one of the highest rates in the world.
I think stories should be linked as bibliography for content in comments.
That comment would be better with a link and the relevant thesis either quoted or articulated by you.
Bullshit. Mcdonalds pays ~$22/hr in Denmark. If they can afford it there, they can afford it here.

Thank you for the additional evidence to prove that the idea that a wage hike to $20/hr is quite possible.
The number of people around here licking the boots of the rich is ridiculous.
You sound silly when you say bootlicking.

Are you capable of having a conversation without attempting to put words in people’s mouths?
Who do liberals make things up and whine so much? I asked you a question. Not sure why you find a question mark so confusing.
As the article points out, the employees are mostly PT, they have no minimum wage and they pay about 35% in taxes.
I am not suggesting that they be charitable. I am saying that they ought to pay a living wage, the bare fucking minimum.
They are. That means eliminating positions that don’t justify the wage.

In this case it did. They can outsource it cheaper. So they did.
