      It’s not only legal it’s effectively encouraged. Capitalism is a race to the bottom, regardless of consequences.

          Why does it seem that the ones who have everything have nothing inside, nothing inside?

      People should just not go there. But it’s america and they probably have 1dollar chicken nuggets or something.

        I would probably just turn around if I saw and understood what I was looking at. Definitely wouldn’t go back a second time.

        They are not physically in the US, and probably work listed as some sort of overseas contractor. Whatever wages they earn are from their employer who contracts for the restaurant.

        That’s probably how it works.
