Going to hit hard?
That reality hit hard long ago
The entire state economy is being destroyed
In this texas city I’m sitting in traffic double what it was 4 years w. For the past two miles work crews are busy putting up another layer of highway to accommodate Californians
I am sure California hasn’t seen construction in 15 years
Companies can afford it, it won’t impact the price of a burger but 25 cents!! /s
The same people will argue that unless farmers have access to ‘undocumented workers’ (e.g. cheap labor) than they’d go out of business.
So which is it?
Insane.
Just more jobs destroyed for no good reason.
Gruesome Newsom. Always spending other people’s money like a drunken pirate.
A half of a million of them. Wait until SEIU gets their filthy communist thug hands on them.
Wrong.
What happened is the cost of raw material massively increased do the stupid Biden energy policies
When the cost of fertilizer for a farmer when from $10,000 a year to $60,000 a year due to stupid US Energy policy, you going to see cost push inflation
When the cost to haul the product from felid to processing plant went from $150 to $300 due to stupid US Energy policy, you going to see cost push inflation.
When the cost to power the processing plant goes form $10,000 a year to $30,000 a year you going to see cost push inflation.
And so on and so on and so on for every step of the supply chain and every form of energy they use.
The only people “gouging” in this situation is the US Federal Government with their mistaken notion that they can use regulatory barriers to generate cost push inflation against Coal/Gas/Oil to make “alternative energy” cost competitive.
Preaching Marxism ? In addition to eating right how about paying your own medical bills and not bringing down the entire health care infrastructure/economy for your own selfish needs ?
soon they’ll be sidelined - their cost too high for businesses. their behavior is only indicative of a society today that puts no emphasis on quality education, personal responsibility and pride in achievement, i fear.
something like that - updated!
TIPS also will go from 15% to 25%,,,
And people think this guy will be the next president. Never. If they cheat him in, his presidency will be shorter than the 35th’s.
No more entry level jobs and more robot burger flippers
I hope it’s a personal choice and not a financial one. I don’t eat out often, mainly because me and the wife are better cooks than most restaurants in our neck of the woods. And we enjoy cooking at home. I have 2 full kitchens in my home, one is outside.
Yeah actually you are when you preach the Government should be controlling citizen lives to this level.
““California is home to more than 500,000 fast-food workers who – for decades – have been fighting for higher wages and better working conditions,” Newsom said in a statement”
Didn’t learn anything from the failed experiment in Washington State.
Fast food places in my Montana town pay $21.00 starting wage.
Target and Walmart advertise a starting wage of $23.00.
Yes, a burger combo meal costs $12.00.
My brother and I were talking yesterday .... when he built his house (around 1980), concrete was $30/yard. When he did an addition to his garage (about 10 years ago), it was $80/yard. Now, it is $250/yard and it all comes from Europe.
“The return of the lunchbox.”
I’ve started to bring lunch more often, quick cheap lunches have almost gone extinct except for (cringe) Taco Bell.
But it exempts establishments that make their own bread on site ! Go figure what goes on in that Socialist State !
When trillions of dollars and 90% of all health care costs in the U.S. go toward treating chronic disease the government has an obvious interest in doing everything within reason to manage costs. Either that or ban certain types of processed foods outright like most other countries.
