[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2926513, member: 18225"] On a side note, you seem to be whining just a bit. I live near Boston, where the cost of living is astronomical. Realistically, you'll get zero sympathy from me vis-a-vis cost of living, etc. Who do you think will 'fix those issues' that you speak of? The Starbucks workers? The Government? Tell me if I'm wrong here: You live in an expensive town and you resent workers in said town wanting a share in their employers' success. Again, minimum-wage jobs used to be a stepping-stone, but now they're the way many Citizens live, albeit barely. Is it so wrong for workers at multi-billion dollar companies to ask for an extra dollar? Someone did a study - if Mickey D's paid their workers $15 an hour, the cost of a Big Mac would rise by $0.05. The horror. [/QUOTE]
