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:
Profit is the main goal of a company Some body has to pay for it They are not going to take a cut in profits So they will raise prices and get rid of people
Talks about facts in article, ignores them completely.
Ah idiots that ignore historical fact.
not only silly prices will go up, employment will lose more jobs, lose more benefits, and hours.
No revisionism….Do you even know what that means??…..I deal with facts , not bombast and blather………try it……..peace

Michael Tunningley you don’t read very well. I never said they are ALL high schoolers and college students. Please read before posting. And you’re wrong about the impact.
Michael Tunningley I’m sorry, you don’t get things just because.
Michael Tunningley you do understand that disabled people can obtain college degrees and work tons of jobs. Most seniors working these jobs are semi retired drawing SS and the ones that aren’t don’t have any skills. Mentally challenged people, for the most part, are not working these jobs to support a family.
of course they are…stupid liberals…THEY JUST WANT FREE STUFF…THEY WILL LEARN SOON, IF THEY KEEP IT UP….’AIN’T NUTTIN FREE FOLKS’ IN THIS LIFE….YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF INSANITY…..WELL IT WAS MADE FOR LIBERALS….!
