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:
They already did you order and pay from what looks like a giant iPad
Yep. Bye bye anarchists
Brad McKenzie If they have already increased the prices and they have yet to increased the pay how could they not be making more money?
Minimum wage jobs are not intended for adults that have no skill and breed like cats, maybe you should encourage people to obtain a skill instead of fighting for a higher wage for jobs that are intended for people with no to minimum skill.
Entry level, no skill required jobs, should be a the low end of the pay scale. How else is a highschool kids with no experience going to enter the work force. Yes go to college is a start but that’s worse cause so employers want you to Intern for 6 months for FREE.
The real problem is the government, dems and GOP, created an environment unfriendly to business, so manufacturing jobs went overseas.

Agree 10000000000000%
Sam Wal has more money than the bottom 40% of the United States
It doesn’t make it fair or right that CEO ‘s can make that kind of profit….but that doesn’t mean raising minimum wage will fix it….by raising minimum wage , everyone else’s wages are now closer to being minimum wage…..this will destroy the middle class and make it disappear….which is what our government wants anyway…think about it…
