What's this?

This is the dumbest of all leftie arguments. Chipotle has 97K full time

workers (and hoo knows how many more P/T). Do the math. That $64.4M would equate to a .31/hr increase to those 97K workers, and that's assuming a) you could retain or suitably replace those execs without using those funds, and b) not a single P/T worker gets an increase.
