Liberals subscribe to magical thinking, believing that free college tuition and free health care to illegals will somehow end up a net win for the public. But reality often intrudes on this magical thinking like a big pimple on the end of your nose, and it is painful and unsightly. In this case, the laws of economics are intruding into the magical thinking of liberal politicians in San Francisco (as if there were any other kind there), and it is a growing problem.
San Francisco has declared that the minimum wage in the city, now being replicated in several other fact-challenged cities, will rise to $15 by 2018, and polls there predict happy, better-paid workers who will finally have a “living wage.” They have also insisted that this will not increase inflation and that it will be a boon to the minimum wage worker. That is a lie. And the impact is just now showing up as the first mandated rise from $10.74 to $12.25 is being implemented by certain retailers.
See who is raising prices in San Francisco, page 2:
Actually im conservative idiot even rent raises in states that don’t have it… paying a 300 percent mark up people still can’t pay the rent or food on the table… we need a revolution to stop to greedy monopolies…
Every cost that a business incurs they will pass on to the customer. People that think they are going to get back at those rich people are only raising the cost of the product they are selling. This is the facts, like it or not.
The Left.
Well let us see one city has food riots price of everything food skyrockets… the city next door has food in plenty in fact producing more where prices actually drop in price because of over abundance… as a president should I tell famers to keep producing or should I call the epa to stop you from producing so greedy price gouging bastards like you live in luxury will we once middle class is no poor class… being conceal carry and open carry will justice be served or the gene pull be culled to better serve humanity… when a box of granola bars is $20 bucks while a box in the town next door is under $3 bucks… I don’t think anyone is guna care if the town is burned to the ground and business owners are strung up on trees… I don’t think anyone will morn no body on that day… it will be 30 paces and fire or your children starve choose…
Business still won’t hire no one will work prices never drop when things are in plenty even so in a city with plenty…
If prices go up due to wage increases…why have prices been going up without a wage increase?
let the free market decide wages…
so….now jobs will be lost…prices will go up and the rest of us will need raises to keep up….and people on fixed incomes are screwed. entry level jobs are just that. not meant to be a career or support a family. dont have a family until you can afford it …..Ca has gone nuts…not the same state I grew up in….
Liberals must be the dumbest people in America. Especially California.
So long Chipotle. Kind of overpriced to begin with this will be the finishing touch.
YEP AND SOON THE FOOD PLACE WILL START GOING UNDER OR LEAVE CA.
