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:
David, if it’s as easy as you think it is, then try it !
Class envy, shrouded by contempt and envy. With Steve Loving running things, restaurants would be serving Purina Dog Chow and telling you it was prime rib. Right before they go out of business.
Michael, then why not raise minimum wage to $25/hour ? Or how abou $30?
Don’t forget that they can lie about it, too. 😉
Way to miss the point.
Hahaha awesome comeback Julian. Just kidding.
Simple brains want entitlement votes to remain in power. They forego the obvious reality of unintended consequence
Sheer genius there David, sheer genius. You and you alone have figured out how to make a profit by selling$#%&!@*sandwiches by leaving out the bread. Genius!
James Wales again same wage increases.
Once again a reply from someone who hasn’t got anything of substance to say.
