Speaking of which, just heard on CNN that all (?) fast food workers in NYC went on a one day strike demanding better pay.

They demand $15/hour. Good luck with that.

Yeah I don't see how they would be seeing a loss at all.  I "joked" that I no longer have issues with prices for food in airports as its about the same as what I pay on a daily basis.

Even living with $15/hour seems rather hard in New York.

You have to work two hours just to pay the bridge tolls from Jersey.

I know. I lived in Nassau County and in Hoboken and even there I would imagine it hard to live off $600 gross ~ $450 net. Must be worse if you live closer to the city itself.

I imagine it's extremely hard, maybe even impossible, to maintain an independent household with a full time minimum wage job.

Then what?

[Zanza]

Then you go on strike and demand more money. Which happens to be what these people did.
