Good time to be selling cookbooks in Californicate.
Learn to make bread.
They need to learn how to vote...
Stunned? They paid perhaps too much attention to what some commies said they were owed and too little to what REALITY could deliver.
Restaurants shutting their doors or severely curtailing hours available to work and thus making the job more difficult for the reduced staff. Stupid employees. What’d they think was going to happen? Manna from heaven?
Minimum wage is unconstitutional. It needs challenged until dead.
A lot of people are going to find out that the real minimum wage is $0 and that if a job costs an employer more than its value, the job disappears.
So the owner must have enough $$$$ to retire. Must be nice.
MW has passed 3 SCOTUS rulings.
So the demand for fast food goes away too?
They’re treating minimum wage as though it’s something you can sustain a family on.
The $20 minimum will weed out the weak companies. Don’t need them anyway. Once things settle down, the obvious path is to raise it to $30. /sarc (as if that’s needed)
Right-O
BTTT
Intelligence in a population is on a bell curve. A fast food worker who is in high school may or may not be on the left side or less intelligent side, of that curve. One who is forty is probably way down somewhere on the left.
The reason we have Democrats is the left side of that curve. When those people vote they don’t think through what the outcomes of their vote might be.
I listened to an interview of a fast-food worker who was obviously in her forties complain, “how they ‘spect me to raise fo’ kids on this wage?” Well, probably you should be married in order to have the family and then you might be able to just bank the second wage. Doing better in school, which was free, BTW, would probably also help. That job was designed to be a kid’s starter job and nothing more.
“From the people that I spoke to, my employees, we would have rather stayed at the wage that we did have before, just because now we don't have a job,” Navarro said. “And those who are still working in the areas around us that went up to $20 an hour, they got their hours severely cut. And it's a lot less people working on shifts. So their jobs got a lot more difficult.”

maybe they can find a job at one of newscum’s restaurants?
And California will probably continue to vote Blue. Hard to feel sympathy for them.
If you own a business, you know 60-80% of your expense is payroll. Not just what the employee gets, but other taxes you pay on what you pay employees. You just doubled payroll expense. It isn’t about retiring. It is about bankruptcy.
The owner can move to another state and start a new business. Californicating is not a place I would want to be in business. until the populace wakes up and realize what they have been voting for, I won’t visit or conduct business there. In my business I could take on projects there, but I refuse.
