You don’t have a job if the government drives your employer out of business.

Without attending the hearings, I know there were people who spoke about the consequences and through the premeditated ignorance of those on the committee passed the bill to action by the legislature and governor.

In a way, that's a bonus. They won't screw up my order. I see them around here and we don't have a $20 minimum wage.

Robots, kiosks...I would guess since they're dumping all that high wage labor their prices will go way down!

But their prices are still sky high for fast food...Hmmm.

California’s $20-per-hour minimum wage.

For putting a bag of fry’s into a bigger bag of fry’s they must be grads of MIT. /s

MAYOR “BASS ACKWARDS” GOT AN AGREEMENT WITH HOTELS & OTHER SUPPLIERS TO GIVE SPECIAL RATES DURING THE OLYMPICS-—IN 2028.

THEN SHE DOUBLE CROSSED THOSE BUSINESSES & RAISED MINIMUM WAGES FOR HOSPITALITY & TRANSPORT WORKERS TO A HIGH RATE>

NOW-—BUSINESSES ARE CAUGHT IN A BIND.

THEY WILL LOSE $$$.

Democrats NEVER, EVER take into consideration human nature.

You make business pay a $20 minimum wage and those businesses will find a way to keep the profit margin up...................
