McDonalds is good news? You mean more low paying jobs for Americans which doesn't offer medical benefits? The nation would be better of without McDonalds. Think of how many bodies would be saved from their junk food.

McDonalds is the epitome of what has happened to the job market here in the United States. It can not be saved.

Until society can appreciate and respect a lower paying job and a greasy burger, they still have a long way to go in understanding how to survive hard times.

I'm sure there are quite a few lawyers, accountants and other professionals who now make less than those they used to look down on.

I understand a lower paying job...but a 'greasy' burger? Never.
