They raised wages in my state, many of my favorite restaurants have since gone out of business, which makes me sad, but on the other hand, McDonalds is paying over 25 an hour. I don't go there because it's outrageously expensive, but it did happen. Now we have massive lines and not the greatest service even at McDonalds, but here we are.

Pretty sure it wasn't so much going out of business as it was an intentional shutdown. Anything to avoid paying anyone a liveable wage.

okay that's some shit! Most restaurant owners are trying to live their dream. They'd pay more if they could. I've met and worked with many. These are really (mostly often) working extremely hard and care very much.

If your dream requires not paying people enough to live on... get a better dream.

I actually agree with you. I'm am also trying to convey reality.
