The politics of shaming McDonalds | djw @ Lawyers, Guns & Money

The present moment of shaming minimum wage employers is a rather unique opportunity in our political discourse; a moment where we’re actually talking about the nitty-gritty details of the economic lives of the working poor. Perhaps this is overly optimistic, but I think such a focus might have the effect of eliciting greater sympathy from the ranks of the middle of the middle class, who struggle with budgeting difficulties of their own.
