How’s it feel to shoot your self in the foot economically?
I read the entire article at the link.
My teenage granddaughters buy from American Apparel. I’ve been shopping with them and the quality is all right. Nothing I would want, but fashionable for their age.
American Apparel can easily relocate to Texas. CA is NOT business friendly. Democrats run the show.
I simply can’t relate to the mentality of demanding more instead of improving myself.
As with most things when it comes to Democrats, it is not about minimum wage. It is about votes.
If they can convince more people to vote Democrat even as it destroys the economy, they will do so.
We now know the Republican party is the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globetrotters.
. Now, Los Angeles firms are facing another big hurdle — California’s minimum wage hitting $15 an hour by 2022 —
It will all get worse if D-bags keep voting for D-bags.
The lawmakers knew this would happen, so it was foreseen and therefore intended.
A wage that folks could survive on would be a good thing. It would curtail a lot of federal handouts. What's going on now isn't that. No one is asking the protestors if they buy made in the USA goods whenever possible.
A combination of keeping invaders (legal and illegal) out of the US, protection from unfair practices for imports, US jobs for US citizens, and curtailing regulations of startups, and wages would take care of themselves. Supply and demand could function.
Each state is a small independent country. That is the original intent of the republic.
It appears that the Garment Industry is another Industry that will be searching for new ways to automate so as to reduce the costs of Labor.
A question I have though is this, what will become of all of the workers that used to be gainfully employed producing actual ‘things’ when all of those things are now completely produced by machines?
Why can’t government just stick to doing what it does best (nothing) and let the market take care of itself in terms of wages?
But but but $15.00 an hour is so down with the people.
I laugh at the LIB idiots and the “unintended consequences” of their ignorant plans. HaHaHa.
Wow, American Apparel was one of the last companies to make cloths in the US. That was part of their core branding.
The folks this will hurt the worst is our teenagers. The few jobs out there will soon dry up.
Governor Moonbeam said it was not the right thing to do economically but the right thing to do politically. I think in the long run it will prove to be the wrong thing to do period.
The Minimum Wage should be ZERO, as in less than a Penny.
People can work their way up from there, I did.
It doesn’t matter, long as I can support my family with this minimum wage job...
