Despite being rudely "mouthed off" by the asian boy at the drive thru window yesterday morning, the "golden arches" will always have a place in my heart!
This iconic American brand, like a few others, is a major world wide employer; demonstrating the positive synergy of governments and global trade as they unite to feed people in a cost effective and convenient manner. They hold a unique key to averting impending economic turmoil for us all-real wage growth.
Experts on finance estimate that in real USD$ (value), the American minimum wage should currently stand at $33/hour IF the worker were to experience the same market value as 30-40 years ago. So as the printing press is fired up to avert disaster a la 2008, all the governments need to do is offer workers worldwide a direct wage subsidy (perhaps paid into a new, separate, personal government account app) of consequence that will qualify as their contribution to keeping modern capitalism alive after many decades of economic partiality.
This is the easiest and most humane way to protect not only the economy, but to allow people (and the tax payers they serve) to enjoy a safer standard of living thanks to the elected decision makers. The days of the "starter job" are over as is traditional capitalism with so much frequent intervention. Time to evolve, the jigs up...
"Do you want fries with that?"; It's OK kid, there's now hope!
