I'm sure you are already aware of this, but I'll mention it in case you aren't.McDonalds has run several TV ad campaigns making a big deal about how they hire senior
citizens and even mentally retarded folks to work at their restaurants. They point out that
this is a kind gesture on their part to an often overlooked segment of society. It's a very
feel-good type of ad. What they DON'T mention, strangely enough, is that the government
subsidizes these otherwise "useless" workers, so McDonald's ends up getting CHEAP and
in some cases FREE labor! Who actually pays the salaries? The taxpayer of course.I think it is very important that mentally handicapped people be given opportunities to
work if they want to....but McDonald's attitude is a bit sickening.I wish you well on your mission, and luck to the people in the libel-farce.
