In Denmark a McDonalds worker makes $20
an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.

Don't buy the lies that raising the minimum wage to a level that keeps people out of poverty would force prices up.

In the US versus countries where workers’ rights are taken seriously.
Same shit here. Many Euro countries would kick them out if they fail to comply.
