They lose one min. wage job, they either get another one, or onto welfare; which is better in many states than working fast food.

We start all over again at the bottom. But, I wonder if you have been paying attention. Eagle, ASA/XJT, RAH all "walked out" in a sense by refusing to subsidize this failed model.

That's a lot bigger sack, than risking hamburgers or tacos as a career.
