    This is an extremely small price to pay for someone being able to live.

    I’ll happily spend an extra nickel for a shake if it means someone can house and clothe themselves, or a quarter for a burger for the same.

    I make decent money (not extravagant, but I’m not exactly struggling at minimum wage), and this is a pittance for what they are getting out of it.

    But conservatives, or more accurately, aggressively capitalist people, only see that their prices are going up. They’re looking at "how does this affect me " with no consideration of helping their fellow citizen. It only affects them by costing them more for a burger.

    Pathetic. Devoid of any empathy.

      In-N-Out raised their prices post-pandemic without workers getting an increase in pay. The cause and effect here is not credible.
