        He’s mistaking the bootstraps of his workers for his own.

        Where does the owners say that the owner is making sacrifices? I read the article, but the title actually tells most of it, for once: I’m a California restaurant operator preparing for the $20-an-hour fast-food wage by trimming hours, eliminating employee vacation, and raising menu prices.

        Nothing in there about the owner trying harder or making sacrifices, just passing the cost to his workers (eliminating PTO) or customers (increasing menu prices). Who knows, maybe he is…but the article does not say it.

          He’s pulling himself up by the bootstraps, how he’s doing it is irelevant.

            Those aren’t bootstraps, they’re the backs of those less fortunate.
