I worry about the fucked up right wing legislation that may come from this in 5 years. Maybe republicans will just hike up our taxes and cut corporate taxes again to compensate (mind you they’ll also increase prices of everything too because greed.) All that matters is immediate profits and instant gratification for shareholders—broader long-term economic environment be damned!

But in the meantime I hope this wave of unionizing and striking serves to cull a bunch of shitty businesses/business models out there that can’t survive under the pressure of paying a living wage.

If your business can’t survive paying enough for your employees to survive, YOUR BUSINESS SHOULDN’T SURVIVE
