"...Brown said in a statement after signing the bill at the Ronald Reagan State Building in Los Angeles..."

Irony alert.

Millions of Californians will begin earning paid sick days under a bill signed Wednesday . . .

The editors at the San Francisco Chronicle clearly do not know the meaning of the verb 'to earn'.

Isn’t that the goal? To transform Mexifornia into a 100% State-owned & operated slave labor factory, no private sector allowed?

Obviously the ‘idiots’ in CA didn’t get enough of Moonbeam the first go around.

These people never learn...even BO openly said he was going to oversee the transformation of America - of course ‘we’ proceeded to vote him out of office.

But as long as the GOPe continues throwing ‘empty suits’ at us we will continue to lose to the ‘lightweights’ whose only talent is GIVING OUR STUFF AWAY.

I’m at a point in my life where I have *far* more money than I need.As a result I can easily....*very* easily reduce my spending in many ways.And that particularly goes for things like fast food.If a prices rise because a $15/hr minimum wage,or mandatory sick leave,comes to pass I just cut down...or cut out...patronizing it.So go ahead,force a employer to raise prices to cover unnecessary mandated expenses he loses my business.

Not much chance of either here unless BHO or HRC gets it done at the national level.

Just wondering if the “sex and porn” trades are included under the law. I’ve heard these are big industries there and it would seem reasonable that they would need a lot of sick days just practicing their trade (you just don’t know where those body parts have been).

With the condom rule I imagine they’re headed somewhere else. Nevada? Austin, Texas? Florida?

No surprise there,
I read a few articles a few years ago that CA was able to intimidate Amazon into collecting sales taxes from their residents by threatening their (Amazons) extended business ventures,

Looks like a bunch of other states pulled the same trick.

About Sales Tax on Items Sold by Sellers on Amazon.com

Not in Maryland yet.

I've been watching this for years. I've come to believe what you say is true. The goal is for rich coastal elites (San Fransicko, Hollywood, Silicon Valley and other wealthy liberal enclaves to run off the bothersome "little people." They want to enjoy the state's unique climate and beauties for themselves and use cheap labor from Mexico.

When $15 becomes the floor, don’t be surprised if it ends up being a hard ceiling that employees will have a hard time breaking through.

Even if fast food chains stay in CA I doubt there will be that many employees left. They're automating minimum wage tasks.

There's a robot that can prepare 360 hamburgers per hour all by itself. Notably, this hamburger-prepping robot:

• Don't belong to any unions

• Doesn't complain about working overtime

• Never smokes weed during its break

• Doesn't spit in the customer's food

• Doesn't sue its employer for on-the-job injuries

• Never protests for higher wages

• Doesn't need time off for vacations

• Never steals food from the company

• Doesn't sexually harass the female workers

Yet ANOTHER FACTOR for small and medium sized companies to consider when choosing a place to locate. And yet another factor in why eating out in California will cost another 10% beyond the 10% premium they already pay when compared to the rest of the country.

On the bright side, it will help highway traffic. Less people work, less people who do work eat out, and more jobs go to Texas. So there is an upside.
