I do pay that, but somehow, it never makes it down to the workers.

Did it go well for them on χitter, or are there a lot of bootlickers voting there?

That's the reason why UBI and raising the minimum wage isn't a permanent solution for the working class though. They are good and provide some relief certainly, but in the end the corporations will exploit even harder, raise prices causing inflation that makes the raises unimportant, and use all that as a debate point to show that giving back to the workers leads to price raises.

Workers should still fight for raises, benefits and better contracts, but the end goal should be ending the system that gives the owners of capital all the power in the world.

25 for a double burger. Lesser burgers are not the high. Looks like it's 10 per patty, and 5 for cheese. I think I'll notice Wendy's "dynamic prices that totally doesn't count as surge pricing, stop saying it"
