We are all for a LIVABLE MINIMUM WAGE. We know that fast food workers are striking. We know that in Southern California, it takes about $18.00 an hour to rent a one bedroom or single apartment, drive, gas up, and insure a used car, and so on.
If we do not pay people a livable wage, then they cannot participate in life. They cannot stimulate the economy by spending on things that those with livable wages can.
People who don't make a livable wage often have to by USED rather than new products. We're all for recycling and reusing. We do it. However, buying a new product, if it's made in the USA, will provide more business stay in business and more employees stay employed.
If you are not for a livable wage, we ask you to see if you can live on about $10 a month. You'll have money in the bank that a minimum wage worker doesn't, but you may start to understand the limitations.
You probably won't be about to eat out much, maybe only the $1. menu at the fast food restaurant.

CAN WE DO WITHOUT OUR HOSTESS BAKED SWEETS
BLOOMBERG ON HOSTESS WARNING EMPLOYEES OF LIQUIDATION link here
CAN WE DO WITHOUT OUR HOSTESS CUPCAKES?
More importantly, can't Hostess bring in some creative types to figure out how to compete in the cake and deserts market, the school lunch bag market?
We are not against UNIONS if UNION MEMBERSHIP means LIVING WAGES FOR THE WORKERS. Right now the minimum wage is not a living wage in many cities in the United States. We don't want more employees who work an honest days work to be dependent on the United States Social Services system to pay the rent, have food, health care, and education, the way WALLMART does.
IN HEARING ABOUT HOSTESS WARNING EMPLOYEES THAT THEY WOULD RATHER CLOSE DOWN THAT DEAL WITH STRIKES or UNIONS, becuase there is MORE COMPETITION, we can't help but think that some IMAGINATION is lacking!
When we go shopping we find Hostess two packs of cupcakes for a low of a dollar, but often closer to $2. These are prepackaged and yet getting very close to a just baked bakery price at the local in store grocer.
