I've always wondered why that is. The only plausible argument I've seen is that fast food is an easy entry job for youth, and if adults do it forever the entry level jobs for youth go elsewhere. That’s one reason. It’s another version of the downside of increasing the minimum wage. Low pay, low skill, entry level jobs are the ideal method to incorporate young people into the workforce. I’m guessing many of us had jobs like that when we were kids. I for one could care less if a human is happy working entry level fast food their entire life. From a micro economic point of you, sure, there are a few people like that. No one gets to define someone’s view of what life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness looks like. But it’s unlikely that will last for a long period sooner or later the cost-of-living rises more than that job should pay for that position, which either means the price of the product artificially gets inflated, or that person loses their job and is in a tough spot, and then finds himself unable to replace that income. it’s the equivalent of telling your child, it’s ok, you don’t need to go to school if you don’t want to. So you can say you could care less, but the reality is it affects you so you do care or you should care. I have a cousin that makes $22.25 per hour working at Taco Bell. and I don’t wanna have to pay more for a taco because your cousin is lazy and making more money than the market naturally dictates for that job.The pizza place up the road from the medical center pays more per hour than they pay certified EMT's, and entry level techs.
