"Honestly I am on the fence myself. Depends on how much it inflates,
and harms the relative purchasing power of those in the $10/hr range. "

Good point.

Let's say the wage increases. Now McCorporation has to decide
how much of a hit to profits they want to absorb and how much to
pass on to the end customer.

Shareholders will raise holy hell about anything eating into
their profits, but if they pass the entire cost onto the end
customer, few will be buying a McBurger that has doubled in
price whacking the profit margin anyway.

Hardest hit will be the very folks who would benefit from such
an increase to begin with. If they make slightly more, but the
costs increase slightly more, what have we really done here ?
