The group said the costs “simply cannot be absorbed by the business model.”
They can do business, just not be as profitable if they can’t pay slave wages. The problem here is in the quote… they don’t want to change the model where the franchisee’s earn a little less and their crews can actually afford rent.
Why the heck should the franchisee be footing the bill? Make corporate McDonald’s pay for it. Surely they’ve made enough money off ice cream machines by now to afford it…
Sounds like McDonald’s can’t afford to do business. I guess the free market will have them close.

Oh honey, no. The free market only applies when it works in their favor.
Yes except that they were lying and they will still do business. :-/
There is nothing “free market” about a forced minimum wage.
There are lots of arguments to be made for an increased minimum wage, at least try to be smart when making them.
