Wouldn't this just be phenomenally dumb?

A: $22/hr is nice but not amazing. You can make that after a year or two at Amazon or similar jobs.

B: Cost of airline flight there is going to be pricey. Like "I work at McDonalds, I can't afford this" pricey. Hope you don't have to make multiple trips back, ever. Don't have family you need to see often in the US?

C: You better know how to immediately get a home in a new country. Know how expensive cost of living is over there.

D: What if they fire you? You're a foreigner and don't necessarily know their customs, you're bound to commit a faux pas, then what?

E: Do you know Danish? While a lot of them speak English as a second language, it's a new barrier to overcome just to work at McDonalds.

F: I admit I'm not fully knowledgeable on this so correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't dual citizenship include some form of pricey income tax hike?

And many more logistical problems.

For F, the US is one of only 2 countries to charge income tax on its citizens if you live in a different country, and even then, you have to earn a lot more than mcdonalds pay for it to kick in

Facebook is a US company and I'm a former McDonald's employee from the US.

That's $16.25 USD. Sounds fair for a McDonald's worker.

I’m not in the US. Their dollars mean nothing to me.
