One excited fast food worker hugged Gov. Jerry Brown at the announcement Monday, March 28, 2016.The minimum wage is zero when your job disappears. Democrats cant grasp the concept.
If I were this person's manager I would fire them as soon as the first step increase occurred and let them know that it was due to rising labor costs.

Politicians like to make sure the effects of their policies aren’t felt until they are safely out of office.

Economically, minimum wages may not make sense. But he said work is not just an economic equation, calling labor part of living in a moral community. They don't call him "Moonbeam" for nothing.

I just bet a friend of mine a steak dinner that by the end of the year there will be 2 things working their way through the California legislature.
A bill the would outlaw corporate downsizing due to mandatory wage increases. if you had X number of workers before the wage increase you you had to keep head count for 2 or 3 years.
A bill that outlaws moving a business out of state and taking assets with you. Businesses moving out must sell all assets and pay painful taxes before moving out of California.
Anybody think I might win that bet?

Stated more correctly, Jerry Brown signed a bill to eliminate all jobs in California that pay less than $15 per hour.

Morally and socially and politically, they (minimum wages) make every sense because it binds the community together and makes sure that parents can take care of their kids in a much more satisfactory way, Brown said.The minimum wages binds the galaxy together...., Brown said.

They can pass it all they want, but there’s no way it would be Constitutional.

So, one employee gets a raise and three get fired. Forward thinking, for sure.One employee can to the job of four? Sounds like a management issue not a minimum wage issue.

I have a gnome in CA, that is conservative and we have talked about how hard they have made it for small businesses, of which he is an owner of. He has always been optimistic. However, the other day one small company who’s technologies we follow, published that one part of the business is moving to a neighboring State with the hint it was to support a client that uses their product ( ya right, and I am the tooth fairy ). My gnome and I saw through it and noted, something to the effect, “CA sucks man, nobody is going to want to be here w/ the $15 / hr minimum.” Sort of hinting that is one reason why he thought the firm we follow are moving.

They don’t even have to pass it. I just bet him that they would be talking about it in the legislature. Screaming like stuck pigs about the evil businesses that are laying off people or leaving the state.
Liberals will do whatever they can get away with to stop either or both of those.

Among the many goods and services available toward which I am *very* price sensitive are restaurants in general and fast food joints in particular.I'll pay $12.95 for a small piece of steak at Outback but not $14.95.Ditto McDonalds....$2.95 for an Egg McMuffin?—>OK....$3.50?—> “I don't need the calories anyway”.

"One excited
but soon to be unemployed fast food worker hugged Gov. Jerry Brown."
There, I added the full context.
