How do you feel about the fast food strike in the USA?

My personal opinion on the matter--you could train a chimp to do their job. Meanwhile, there are SCHOOL TEACHERS, COPS, SOLDIERS, ETC that don't make $15 an hour. So, no. Fast food workers don't deserve $15 for a job that can be handled by high school children.

I don't know where your from, but here in Canada, school teachers, cops, soldiers... They get paid pretty handsomely and they get great benefits.

Minimum wage is not enough to live off of today. 

Fast food workers, retail workers.  There are some people working these shitty jobs (somebody has to do them) and yes, I believe they deserve more for what they do.  Some are very hard workers. 

For some people, it is the only option they have.
Getting an education is expensive as hell.

Georgia--where cops and teachers don't get paid crap.  Trust me on this.  Now, I'm sure the cost of living is lower than most bigger cities so everything's relative, I guess.  Maybe a New York cop or teacher has it a little better.  Around here, every cop has to work a second job.
