Fast Food Strike

     The radio commentators and their callers take it personally that they can not get their Big Mac or Whopper fix in cities where the strike is in full force. How do you you feel? Are you upset with patty flippers wanting to be paid fairly? I f so why?  Is it because they are not skilled labor? Does that make you superior. You are insulted? Are you angry that you may have to pay seven dollars rather than five for a quarter pound of beef? If the price rises on your fries is it the fry guys fault? Or is it due to the corporations greed?
      I heard one lard ass talker bewail the corporations small profit margin. I do not know how the corporations profit margin could be so little and it can still build and expand. I do not understand how the price it charges keeps rising while workers pay remains the same. I do not understand why anybody buys their product. I suspect that with the prices the corporations charge it is a status symbol to have an empty bag of Taco Bell on your floorboard. So it is pride.
     Be proud of that extra twenty pounds and clogged heart it, (the corporation), sold you. Enjoy watching another Popeye's being built across the street from the hospital where you lay with tubes running in and out of you after getting the Pizza Supreme sucked out of your arteries. But I digress.
     The bun topper or maintenance guy is not after you money. It, (the corporation) is. It wants your money so it can build and expand to hire and hold down people with a petty stipend. Not to say that if one doesn't bust their ass or kisses it's that after six months a person might not be offered a nickel raise. Look at the profit that KFC takes and tell me it is not enough for you.
     Blaming the working poor is misplaced accusation.
