Holy wow. The McDonald's in Orlando turned the sprinklers on strikers http://t.co/ybzbmfe1Ud #FastFoodGlobal

Oh no … not the sprinklers!

Some incredibly brave people are striking today for livable wages. Check them out at #FastFoodGlobal #FastFoodStrike #solidarity
— Mechelle (@nolegirl) May 15, 2014
So very, very brave.
Clearly it’s hard out there for self-important strikers. Too bad those of us in the real world aren’t offering up our shoulders to cry on.

If a company has to pay workers more, how do you think they'll come up with the money? Out of profits? No. Higher prices #FastFoodStrike
