    I think these people don’t fully realize who pays workers salary. If the consumer finds a $7 hamburger from McDonald’s to be on the high end who is paying the $15 an hour.

    i have strong opinions on this but don’t want to address it in political terms... $15 arbitrary minimum wage is not a cure-all to bridge the gap.

    when I started working, minimum wage I think was around $4 bucks...

    They will end up with half the hours or half the workers. Doesn’t matter they don’t math too good. As long as it makes them happy

    I’m here to tell you it will create more unemployment. The big wigs up top will not take a pay cut to pay extra uneducated, unmotivated employees with no dedication or desire to be there. Fast food isn’t a career.

    they’ll just pass it on to the consumer... they can afford it on $15 an hour now. Everything will all be relative and will all just get more expensive. Anyone else notice how quickly gas went up since Christmas?

    I’m saying if all that increases is minimum wage people won’t buy as much because of price hikes in said business. If all pay increases and all prices go up it’s a moot point

    ARB is on there still.
    Still want to go back to stock and sell off the ARB for a couple hundred, I think. :notsure:
    I'd just have to find someone that wants the ARB. I don't want to throw a stock bumper on there and then have the ARB sit in the bed for ages.

    Put an ad up here. I'd bet someone would easily pay $500 and their bumper for an ARB. I would have :D

    Make sure you clear it with a mod b/c it's suppose to be off the truck.

    There was a guy about an hour away that has a barcelona red bumper off his '07 that I've been meaning to get...
    Only issue with the ARB though is the fog surround on one side is cracked. I think it was a ~$130 part? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007V6L4CE/
