affects of the 20.00 pay hike in california

So you are just going to keep starting the same thread over and over it seems

 

So no one can ever get more pay cuz the world will end? What kind of mumbo jumbo nonsense are you peddling for the record 3rd time on the same subject?

 

What escapes me is that higher wages are bad. That’s some deep level brainwashing.

 

When wages are low people lose their jobs and get laid off and companies blame some other bullshit reason. Guaranteed employment isn’t at thing in a capitalist economy.

 

Whether you are paid $18 or $20 an hour if the company can do more with less they will. You think companies give out excess hours for fun?

Why are you so irked people get a living wage? Employment is great in California.

 

Personally I'm ok with the tradeoff of some people making something closer to a living wage at the tradeoff of other people losing a job with a much lower wage. A lot of those are probably 2nd or 3rd jobs anyway since they weren't making a reasonable wage at their first job to begin with.

 

Effects?????

You really are an Ohio State grad aren't you?

 

What's your main gripe with this?

Do you own a small business and are worried about the implicationsof this proves effective? Is it the unfairness that you had to work a low level job for low pay and now others will have it better? Is it genuine concern for workers who may lose their job?

 

If Desantis did this I would be so stunned I wouldn't know how to react, but he wouldn't do anything like this anyway so it's a wasted thought exercise.

And don't worry about the corporations, they'll use this as a pretense to raise their prices by a disproportionate amount to make even more than they were before. Same as they did immediately after the word inflation was uttered for the first time.

 

I'm fine with fast food being priced at whatever it needs to be in order to prevent the people from preparing it to have to live in poverty.

It's definitely a change, and will hurt the McDonalds of the world but that's probably not a bad thing. People will buy food from other places with higher quality food who already pay their staff better. Or maybe they'll be more inclined to make food at home instead of eating that trash in the first place.

Let's see how it works out - maybe it will fail miserably or maybe it will raise the standard of living for a significant number of people.

 

The OP is a one trick pony. He runs here every time a state raises the minimum wage to whine that his Krystal burgers will be going up in price another 50 cents.

We get it--you hate labor and love stockholders even though you are likely more closely aligned with the former group not the latter. You are in the "Chickens for Colonel Sanders" club.

 

If they don't eat fast food where will they spend that money? At other places that also employ people?
