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:
Liberals love utopian ideas.

The economy HAS to trickle down, unless the lower class prints their own money so that it can trickle up.
It’s got to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is the top.
The Reagan admin received the blame for businesses leaving the country! Lol
It’s amazing how sites like this prefer using anecdotal, cherry-picked stories rather than broad swathes of data. I wonder why that is (I have theories)?
Hahaha, keep pushing this agenda you idiots. Can you imagine if this was nationwide?
