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:

How can the word “Truth” appear on this site when it has b******t.
Well what did you think was gunna happen? We need to eliminate the minimum wage all together. It’s nothing but a slave wage. Eliminate it and go out and negotiate your own wage

Michael Tunningley good luck with your entitlement mentality and worsening our economy. I’ve worked my$#%&!@*off for everything I have. I’m sorry you and your friends are lazy and want to be government$#%&!@*babies.
Michael Tunningley and yes, they are entry level jobs for high schoolers, college students, and no skills workers.
Michael Tunningley do you realize the monetary impact this will have on not only goods and services in food industries, but also your healthcare costs?

That’s all BS….. the problem is they aren’t entry level for a lot of people that’s all they have, or will ever have and to believe their just high schoolers & college students is just ludicrous.
You forgot about the disabled, seniors, mentally challenged and the unskilled ( for what ever reason) these people have family’s that deserve better
All because you don’t want to pay more for a Big Mac?
Duh
Hipsters and their crazy flawed ideology strike again. When are they going to learn corporations own our government: local, state, and federal? Btw when companies raise prices, people quit buying their products and employees get less hours or laid off. The solution is tax incentives for companies that pay higher wages and for hiring more full time employees.
