Re: Campaign 2016 Part XI: the Two Party Problem
I am wondering if you could be more condescending in your post...I mean it isnt like I havent taken and taught Economics before. (or that my girlfriend's parents spent decades as International Bankers and teach it in college now) Please inform me more.
I have worked in the restaurant business long enough to know that every time someone Chicken Little tells us that some new change whether it is higher wages, smoking bans, tax hikes or whatever it never actually happens. Sure the smaller companies have issues and that sucks but notice you still cant go 3 blocks in any suburb without seeing Applebees/Chillis/Fridays and while you can order and pay your bill at the table with your card without waitress/waiter assistance, those people are still friggin there. Same will hold true with McDonalds and they will still pay dumb high school kids to stand there to stare at the people blankly. Now maybe this is the tipping point and if so then I will mea culpa but you can only cry wolf so many times before just stop believing your hyperbole.
