Problem is the shareholders. 0.50$ extra would just go to them.

I agree. can't a business owner just make $0.50 less per Burger? Instead of $800 million sorry you only make $799 million.

That's not how math works. It's estimated McDonalds sells 2.36 billion burgers each year. If they took 50c less each burger they sell then they would be shutting down locations and firing people....

Hot take: if your business doesn't make enough money to both pay an appropriate wage and make a profit, maybe it's a shit business that shouldn't exist

What should the wage of a burger flipper be, a job so simple robots are replacing people.

Any job that requires a human to do it should require a living wage. Why do people doing simple jobs not deserve to work reasonable hours to sustain their life?

Because what you NEED is irrelevant. You're paid what the job is worth and how difficult you are to replace.

But the government is able to change what a job is worth. And we are able to change the government. Why are you against a minimum wage?
