December 5th 2013 SEIU was able to stage a nationwide strike in the fast food sector. Will Congress raise the national minimum wage? Hell naw. Was the strike without merit? It depends. If the people who took part in the strike don't write Congress to ask for a national raise in the minimum wage then the strike was for naught. It also depends on how many of those on strike are willing to start new corporations. It also depends on how many of us will become patrons of these new corporations that are responsible "citizens"; not takers.
Yesterday, I setup a project on GoFundMe. The goal is to raise money to start a restaurant that will pay a livable wage to 12 full-time employees while charging current McDonald's prices for the food. Employees will also have insurance coverage that does not come at the public's expense. Let's see if it can be done. I am asking for donations for this project. I need 100,000 $5 donors or 1,000 $500 donors or 1 500,000 donor. Let's do it.
It is one thing to sit on Twitter and talk it, it is another to actually walk the talk. Let's walk it. Time to do something.
