What I find most interesting is that in Switzerland McDonalds workers make ~$25/hr and have great benefits however the food was about the same price as it is at my local McDonalds maybe a 10-15% difference. How is that profitable over there but it would not be profitable in the US?

You must be misremembering the price disparity. A quick Google shows that Switzerland is home to "the most expensive big Mac in the world"[1] at 6.50CHF. Almost double the US's average of $3.99.

There's a more current "Big Mac Index" here, Switzerland seems to still be on top:

Wikipedia has a decent explainer too.

Nice! Thanks. Looks like my numbers were a bit off due to being out of date. To anyone who wants to know, currently the Swiss Big Mac is 35.4% more expensive than the US one.

So pay is ~100% higher while food cost is ~35% higher. Assuming a $12.00/hr average wage in the US.

He only makes 7.4 million? And yes 22/hour is way too high. Bring in the robots

Higher wages lead to increased automation but then society has to deal with what to do with unneeded people. Not every burger flipper can learn to code.

UBI may work but only if it is indexed to inflation...

Workers should be paid more but I don't see what his salary has to do with anything. Is it just there for ragebait?
