#1 The 20 buck wage thing is designed to drive the youth out of the workforce. CA would rather give them a universal salary and make them debtors to the state.

#2 Investor owned brick and mortar businesses are out. Curbside foot carts and bodegas are the future.

Another clear example of Liberal Socialist geared stupidity running California now.

Even a 6th grader running a lemonade stand understands, if you increase the cost of materials and production, it raises the cost of what is produced.

As such, Arby's Classic Roast Beef and any fast food sandwich price has increased with every ridiculous State Minimum Wage increase used to get votes.

(Trump) $2.50 ea in 2016-18
(Biden) $4.69ea in 2024

Imagine now, what it would be at $20 p/hr

#7 Not just in California, but everywhere in the USA. It's getting to the point where one will have to wear a tie and jacket or fancy dress just to eat at a fast food joint!

#10 I feel like we don't point this out enough: Commies *DO* understand "supply and demand" when elections are at stake--hence the draining of the domestic reserve in efforts to reduce gas prices. THUS we should roundly BATTER THEM when they pretend "supply and demand" doesn't exist when they do things like hike up minimum wages (among other economically stupid acts).

#12 #7 No joke. I'm calling it Beef Tourism, because eating at a steak house will soon be the equivalent of Disney Land. Both Big Texan and Harris Ranch Resort are expanding overnight capacities. BTW - Harris Ranch is not bad.
