Democrats love to pull this.
By 2022, we may have a Republican President, whom the Dems will blame for the economic disaster this will create.
They've been doing this for a long time.
You economists and free thinking people need to just relax. Its just money.
And it feels good.
I wonder how many legal people actually only earn minimum wage in California. Outside of fast food and hospitality, it can’t be much.
Wait till the long haired hippee freaks have to pay $12 for a Big Mac when the munchies kick in...
Democrat voters are just too stupid to figure that out - otherwise they wouldn't be democrats. Hawaii is a case in point. In the early 90's one of the largest sugar plantations still left on the big island told its workers that they couldn't stay open unless everyone (including management) took a pay cur. They opened their books to anyone who wanted to see. Predictably the worked voted NOT to accept a pay cut and predictably the plant/plantation shut down and went out of business. There hasn't been a large business in the area since. They are content to suck up welfare and do nothing. About fifteen years ago a consortium of Japanese businesses tried to put together a hotel/resort development project in that area. The locals successfully blocked it preferring their unemployed status to having development in their area. Natural born democrats
I guess Brown is saying we morally need to raise the wages of the people working so that they can provide for the people made unemployed by the minimum wage increase?
You’d be surprised. There could be 10 million illegals here alone in Ca. You step over 1 every 3 feet here. And most are earning the min.
That is because Rats are incapable of dynamic thinking. They think that there will be no consequences from raising the minimum wage to $15/hr.
All joking and snark aside, in retrospect that one word piece of advice was pretty darn good advice back in 1967
Social Jesters Warriors...
Isn’t it amazing watching a liberal try to justify their own insanity. They know they are wrong but the dogma always overrides any rational thought.
A lot of people don’t have the drive to better themselves. They want to do the bare minimum, but live to the maximum.
This Albertan doesn’t live by that code, though so many do.
I’m glad to hear you and your family are making yourselves successful.
Just that much more money being sent back home to Mexico....
Meanwhile, the illegal getting all that huge wage increase is STILL living in a converted chicken coop in somebody’s back yard.
With eight other illegals.
Agreed. Food production jobs will flee the state in droves because the manufacturers already operate on a very small profit margin. They will not be able to absorb the cost of paying $15/hr and still make a profit.
$15 Big Mac, $10 fries, and a $8 small coke, to go..........................
dont encourage them... someone will put it on the next ballot
...........or a degree in economics.....................
