    Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE 😱 Yet some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive??

        GOP taking every tweet so earnestly, making my point for me. It’s not an argument against the price of a croissant - it’s about the value of human worth. But I guess that idea is foreign to them since their policies treat people as disposable anyway 🤷🏽‍♀️

        That’s why they’re $7. If you thought raising the minimum wage would have no impact on labor expenses, then you’re either childishly credulous or dangerously ignorant. PS: I’m all for a $15 minimum wage, but I accept the consequences, too.

        Well in Ireland the min wage is $12 approx and a croissant is $1 so your math doesn't quite add up. Its all about not having outrageous profit margins at the expense of a living wage.

        Opponents of the minimum wage argue that machines will replace people and the cost of our food will go up... Both are going to happen anyway regardless of the wage. Machines are cheaper than people and businesses are in it to profit. Everyone deserves a living wage.

        We also have to start looking at workers in the labor force as human beings that have families and not by what they do for a living. A job is a job and there needs to be an established wage where one can provide the minimum needs to themselves and their loved ones.

        How did you think a croissant got to be $7.00? It’s almost as if there’s some sort of correlation between raising the minimum wage and inflation on goods.... 🙄

        Omg, you must have a croissant!!?? Shut it. If you can't afford a croissant then go get a cinnamon roll for 99 cent.
