I am trying to be medayek in the lashon
No need for gymnastics. Frum Zionism didn’t always exist, but other forms of apikorsus did.
I understand if you disagree.
I would hope so, since you you didn’t really answer the question.
If McDonald’s is the only one getting this offer, they’ll decide whether they can profit more from higher profit margin or more sales, and act accordingly
Even if all burger places got the offer, they might all lower prices, but would profit from more sales.
Either way, they gain.
Your scenario proves nothing.
CA, he was being facetious, that a company sets its prices on factors besides profits. (Then he went on to make arguments that essentially assume that.)
Of course it’s determined by supply and demand, but as the price goes up (and it almost has to if cost goes up), demand goes down. Or, in other words raising the price doesn’t affect actual demand, but does affect the number of sales.
You said it yourself: why do you think McDonalds doesnt charge 1.50 a burger instead of $1. Do you think its because they dont think that 1.50 is a fair price since given the cost of meat, labor etc say it comes out to 50 cents a burger and they only deserve 50 cents profit?
Option #1 is remote. If the cost goes up, the price point at which profits are maximized will most likely be higher.
Option #3 is just as fallacious as #2. Do you think the number of employees is a function of goodheartedness? If prices go up (or portion sizes reduced) and sales decrease, then yes, they will let go of some employees because there will be fewer sales and less work to do.
alternativly they will recoup their losses in other ways by cutting down the size of the burger (slightly) less pickles lettuce etc…
Because currently the portion size is determined by their generosity?
He’s arguing that because the cost will go up, the price will go up. It’s hard to think he’s not right when it comes to fast food.
(I meant to ask why you stopped walking, but why you stopped with the M”S troll threads is also a good question.)
What may have changed?
Why did you stop?
It never happened to me.
Where did you end up?
And she’s probably a tzadeikes like Esther! And they started going out a week before Purim too!

I can have a cheap item that costs me 0.50 that only I know how to make
A lot of people besides Ronald McDonald know how to make hamburgers.
Bottom line: the increase in minimum wage would increase the price of fast food, which would lead to fewer sales and some layoffs. The remaining workers would get paid more, and that increase would very possibly be more than the lost wages of the laid off workers.
He is a baby?
I know gefen said he’s young, but I’m sure he’s old enough to get married.
Mazal Tov Syag! May they be zoche to build a bayis neeman b’Yisroel, and may you and your mishpacha see doros yesharim mevorachim.
So don’t eat the cup.
I’m shocked that you’d be so careless about maris ayin. You should have put it in a bag.
No, it’s not. There are all types of yeshiva bochurim, and that style is more commonly found on one type than on another type.
Why is it not equal to peds?
Why? Are you not proud of the uniform of a ben Torah?
So are you suggesting the Marriott is anti-semitic or that yeshiva guys are cheap?
I don’t see that either are implied.
BTW, that doesn’t mean that I agree with the OP. I do agree that prices will go up and sales will go down, but the net result will still be wealth redistribution.
When gas prices fluctuate obviously the cost of a burger (to the manufacturer) fluctuates as well since they need to truck the cows, meat etc. Do you think their burger prices fluctuate alongside increases/decreases in gas prices?
Of course, although the effect on prices will be less immediate and less drastic.
why do you think McDonalds doesnt charge 1.50 a burger instead of $1. Do you think its because they dont think that 1.50 is a fair price since given the cost of meat, labor etc say it comes out to 50 cents a burger and they only deserve 50 cents profit?
Of course not, it’s because they’ll sell fewer burgers and therefore have lower profits. If costs were higher, though, they would profit more at higher prices.
Obviously, this is an oversimplification; for one thing, certain overhead costs may not fluctuate directly with volume. I am working with the assumption that the more burgers you sell, the more people you need to take deliveries, cook them, and sell them.
As an aside I’m not sure how much labor factors in to the price per burger at all. For example, you may or may not now this but Dunkin donuts spends more on the cup then they do on the coffee. If the price of a coffee bean would double it would barely (if at all) effect the price of coffee at all since the coffee is so cheap to the provider in the first place.
I’m not sure what that has to do with labor, which I assume to be a much higher percentage of the cost of a burger than the price of a coffee bean to a cup of coffee.
When you compare Obama to Brady, you’re just deflating the issues.
With Russian dressing.
Ubiquitin, “So increasing the minimum wage wouldn’t automatically increase the price.”
It pretty much would.
lame duck reason
Interesting phrase.
Anyhow, it’s a machlokes haposkim.
Ubiquitin, of course cost is a factor in price.
Neither. I believe it’s from I Hear a Mitzvah, the second Mitzvah Tree record.
I would think someone who is used to everyone listening to him would have a difficult transition to following directions.
“I am a mountain, so very high, I can reach way up to the sky, the Torah should be given on me, ’cause I am as tall as can be, you see.”
“Oh, no! –
I am much taller than you, and there are so many things I can do, the Torah should be given on me, ’cause I am as great as can be.”
The little Har Sinai just stood there and sighed, “I know I’m not tall, I know I’m not wide, the Torah can’t be given on me, ’cause I’m a plain mountain”, he said, simply.
From all the mountains, Hashem chose Sinai, because he did not hold himself high, he had such simple and humble ways, and from this we learn that humbleness pays.
the doctor didn’t let me lie down wearing it
How religiously insensitive. Time for a new doctor.
Why did you take it off to begin with?
Also, not having a hat isn’t a p’tur from tefillah b’tzibbur – after you get your hat, run and catch a minyan!
There used to be a silly place that made square pizza, but I think its gone.
Isn’t the term “square pizza” an oxymoron?
I hope for your daughter’s bas mitzvah, you’ll take her to the back.
RY,
1) The 200 is ???? ?”? and we don’t need his ???? at all. Better to discuss ????? ?????.
2) Those ????? are ??????. Is this how we should set things up ????????
You don’t seem to realize that you answered your own question.
What do you suggest we don’t do about it?
people who don’t have as many aveiros can have more kids because their babies cry less…lol
It’s the opposite. It’s like Succos being rishon la’avonos. People with a lot of kids don’t have time to do aveiros.
Yeah, but they get lots of car donations…
That explains the thread title.
But what if he didn’t “give up” the $100?
What if it was just lost and he doesn’t know how to get it back?
Famously, the Brisker Rav said that we have up Moshiach for the medinah.
If that’s the case, he may indeed enjoy his lollypop.
But what if the lollipop is unhealthy or treif?

My rebbetzin told me that if you can’t figure out why they’re crying, they might have a tummy ache.
Also, to be fair, the credit goes to Rebbetzin Elyashiv, zt”l, who wouldn’t let a crying baby disturb her husband’s learning.
Are you sure this wasn’t a carlebach story?
I guess if you’re a fanatical Zionist, you consider it malicious. And if you’re a fanatical anti-Zionist, you consider the Israeli flag to be malicious.
Sure, because mothers are usually more involved than fathers.
“Get shallowness out of the process. Keep the fathers in.” clearly indicates that you think the mothers are more shallow than the fathers.
Matan1, where do you see that in the Rambam?
Also, it’s been a lot longer than a couple of hundred years that poskim either argue with the Rambam or say that he would agree in a different era. See Kesef Mishnah on the Rambam.
It is beyond me how people use the Rambam against kollel when that Rambam is clearly not halachah l’maaseh.
So why didn’t you just say “keep the mothers in”, or keep the parents in”?
The “get shallowness out of the process” comment wasn’t intended to be directed at women
Yeah, but the “keep fathers in” sure seemed to be.
Boy, Joseph, you don’t think too highly of women, do you?
RebYidd23, I vote you in charge of all shidduchim from now on (except for people you know, of course).
Flatbusher, you should hang out in better circles. In mine, middos and yiras shamayim are most important, although, to be sure, externals aren’t overlooked.
