#1 Marvel at my predictive powers: Pizza Hut will still deliver - but the delivery men won't speak English very well.

Now all prices will reflect the wage increase and those making the new Minimum Wage will be back in the place in 3 to 4 months.

However, it does serve as a good example of the real cause of the problem.

Which is, Government, playing politics with the economy for votes.

#3 One big fucking DUH! there. Of course raising the minimum wage will result in a rise in unemployment.

"The money they are giving us as severance pay is a slap on the face," the Pizza Hut employee said. "It comes to $3 a month for nine-plus years of service."

Let me guess: You voted for Newsom and his party every time.

#4 In the progressive sphere, choice is the pinnacle of human individuality, whether killing unborn infants or cutting off gender associated body parts.

To bring up that some choices (votes) result in bad outcomes is very unacceptable.

#5 And maybe that clown deserves a slap in the face. Unless there's some leftie mandate in California or bona fide work agreement/contract (ha), I should think that Pizza Hut doesn't have to offer any severance pay. Period.

#6 I notice no lefty "journalist" or media organ has come forward with a glowing story of how the antisemitic "baristas" in Oakland have fared since they were cut loose.

Story in that somewhere, eh?

#7 The drivers will still be there dashing instead. PizzaHut simplifies their business. All the pizza places will follow suit. They will also drop staff. Fast food wait times will double.

#9 "If you still had your job, you'd be making $20/hr. How exciting for you!"

#10 "If you still had your job, you'd be making $20/hr."

Um, less taxes, of course...

#12 ^ except even slave owners had to pay for the food, clothes and shelter of their 'property'. Now they simply shift that cost to the general taxpayers in various 'social programs'.
