The greatest irony is that we could afford to do this! The richest country in the world has no need to choose between wealth and economic justice. The only reason we have chosen wealth at the expense of economic justice is pure unadulterated greed. We can choose another way.

McDonald’s worker in the US: $9/hr McDonald’s worker in Denmark: $22/hr, 6 weeks of annual vacation, a union, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and pension. America must join the rest of the industrialized world and ensure that our working class can live with dignity.

I was about to say that we can't choose anything without prominent left-wing voices like yourself banding together to galvanize the working class around a campaign of massive nationwide direct action spearheaded by a #GeneralStrike, but I quickly realized I'd be wasting my time

The worst part of it is that those @McDonaldsCorp franchises are owned by a British businessman.

The wealthy have chosen wealth and the working have been brainwashed that they don’t work hard enough.

True, a Big Mac here costs more — $5.60, compared with $4.80 in the United States. But that is a price Danes are willing to pay

I would never eat at McDonalds if their employees made $22/hr because a Big Mac meal would cost $20.
