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 $12.25 is being implemented by certain retailers.
See who is raising prices in San Francisco, page 2:
Looks like the liberals have shot themselfs in the$#%&!@*
You mean they’re still open after all the samonella outbreaks at their establishments?
Well duh. Of course it went up. I wonder if Bern an Hill supporters figured out its just another tax yet?
Chipotle should just make it a self service restaurant they can lay off half there workforce to make up for the min wage increase.
There you are Jeffrey Brenner. They are only at 12 $ an hour. Everything i was talking about. 15$ an hour nation wide. You will see insane price increase and the disappearance of small business.
Martin Beccone is Chipotle a small business? Shame on you for falling for this pro crony capitalism propoganda. Even more shame Chipotle. You do know they are over $400 a share on the NYSE…hmmmm tell me again Martin. Who doesn’t want the wages to go up? But go ahead believe the lies, hate and fear.
Your just a challenged little boy Jeffrey Brenner. Did you even read the article ? I shared it to you 1min before Your reply. Typical socialist. Deflect and ridicule. You have zero concept of economics. Moron.
Btw. The small business i was talking about that will disappear will be the mom and pop type establishments. Got it skippy ? The little guy gets hurt.
