Not sure which location you go to, but had a Big Mac last week and sure wasn't $5 as you posted. I even had one just outside Disney and it was not that much, so I'd venture a guess that a person is paying pretty much the same percentage of the hour's wage as back then. I can remember making about $3.25 an hour, but seems like it took one whole hour's pay for a meal deal. But, not an important argument, it is what it is. People will forever believe that artificially raising wages will work to "fix" the problems, oh well. Perhaps we need to add to the materials in the economics section of our "library", give folks a chance to study a range of economic theories and make up their own minds which "work", that's the best way. But often the "arguments" on here seem to be primarily emotionally rooted, who knows ?
