in the fast food industry. I just read something. It seems that the CEOs of M'donalds & Starbucks make a measly $9,000 or thereabouts per hour. Let's see. For an 8-hour day, my calculator says they earn $72,000. These are the people who don't want to pay the workers who make that mere pittance ($72,000/day) possible higher wages. I wonder how much those companies make in profits per year.
