    I’m really quite sure that nobody is working mcdonalds for (edit: federal) minimum wage. Who would take that job? These stats are online and easy to see, fast food is hiring much closer to 18/hr than 8. (Edit: that said, there are apparently still a few states with average starting pay closer to $10. So I’m no longer so sure about everybody. Still pretty sure it’s rare.)

    This makes sense. A ceo endorses this policy when it hurts his company less and others companies more.
