Small businesses will run out of New York... Larger companies will bring in more automation. End result? Fewer jobs.
Sure Andy boy.....pick our pockets for your Marxist agenda.... You’ll still get 60% of my NY progressive neighbors to vote your sorry @$$ back in.
Gotta get outta here.
Margaret Thatcher once observed that "the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money".
And they’ll still face the oppressing prospect of making minimum wage and will want $20.
Yes, never mind about getting government the hell out of the way so the economy could improve.
The price of goods, services, houses, cars will rise because “people can afford it because of the wage hike”.. LOL Remember what happened to the price of homes once females started abandoning motherhood for their careers???
How many state workers make less than $15 an hours?
Those payrolls are filled with hacks, mostly Democrats, who take home fat paychecks, big benefits, and some don’t even show up for work.
If you pay a moron $15/hr to pick up garbage, how much is he going to have to pay the semi-skilled and skilled workers making around the new minimum wage?
I rarely talk to Obama voters, but when I do, I ask for extra fries.
The problem with just large minimum wage increases is that prices in most areas will increase, as well.
Thus, the increases are almost self-defeating.
I”m sure this will warm the hearts of New Yorkers who bust their ass for $15 an hour and their Parks and Recreation counterparts who sweep out restrooms and play kickball with crumbcrunchers will make the same amount.
I’m voting Cuomo to be the governor to be most likely hanged first when TSHF.
Well, of course. Once the floor wage for the state employees is lifted, the SEIU will negotiate increases above that floor for everyone who was making more.
Voila! Instant raise for all state employees!
Remind me to stay out of New York - prices there will be on the rise to cover this stupidity.....
And, the legislature and taxpayers say what about it? Like it matters I guess...
