when i was 16 i made a blood pact

these already exist, and they currently suck:

That's the future of McDonalds if they keep pushing up the minimum wage. How much can you really afford to pay the kid making your $1 cheeseburgers?

like hell it wouldn't; i worked for some of those stores, I KNOW how much money they make, and how much more they could be paying their employees

I did too, when I was a kid (which is when you're supposed to work a job like that). I KNOW that throwing more money into the economy is going to lower the value of every single dollar that exists (because it's incredibly simple economics). If you paid every Walmart dipshit $50,000 a year he's going to end up with the same exact buying power he has right now once inflation kicks in and the economy corrects itself. "Raise the wages!" is stupid idealistic nonsense that people with no concept of reality like to go on the internet and yell, it's not going to fix anything and in fact will create its own set of problems.
