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 $12.25 is being implemented by certain retailers.
See who is raising prices in San Francisco, page 2:
F**k chipotle, anyone in the bussiness knows labor cost count for under a third of you operating expenses, so adding 14 percent to the cost of your food is over compensating, by about two thirds, so once again,$#%&!@*chipotle, they are just greedy
I agree, how’s this, tax breaks for those companies paying a living wage and working employees 40 plus hours a week, the government will be able to afford it because they’ll save money by not having to pay for these peoples housing, food cell phones and such, maybe I’m wrong
Taxes are of course the real problem and it’s why people can’t make ends meat anymore. The government can spend over $1 billion a day on illegal b******t wars that only profit the corporatacracy, but not on free health care or college for the people paying all the money.
If countries with 100 times les GDP can do it, so can the usa if it wasn’t controlled by corporations, bankers and secret societies!
So did their payroll and withholding taxes… and any subsidies, benefits they qualified for like Obamacare are decreased or eliminated. The plan all along.
This guy Chris wants to learn the hard way.
Any ceo needs to make sure their people are paid right.
Yeah because$#%&!@*employees who make money for the company.
The economics are so fn simple. Which cam first the chicken(business) or the egg( employee)? The chicken! How do you know? Cuz every time you “tax” the chicken he will take it out of the customers/employees$#%&!@* Moral of the story? If you want more out of life Go start your own business and quit your fn cry in’!!
There it is. The no argument name calling. Typical childish response. No substance all bull$#%&!@*
Tell me how Chipotle a company where the average full time worker makes 19000 a year while the owner makes 28.9 million a year is going to struggle? Because they raised the pay in one state? Which the offset buy making a burrito cost a whole dollar more… Oooh no what will we ever do? That poor CEO will starve now
The CEO made 1.8 Mil last year.
The complaints and protesting to gain a higher minimum wage began with the ILLEGALS, who were hotel workers ‘demanding’ a higher wage. Then, it was the fast food workers, who thought that heating up a pre-cook burger patty required $15 per hour, even if they couldn’t speak English. McDonald’s decided to implement automated machine, which do not take breaks, ask for overtime or days off, plus are more cost-effective. Now, everyone’s jumping on the ‘raise prices’ bandwagon. BUT…the problem us, if there’s no work (automation), then who’s going to be able to afford to buy their product?? They’ll be ‘raising’ themselves right out of business!!
Thanks ILLEGALS, once again, for stealing from those same Americans who’ve given you SO MUCH, and yet to have the audacity to call us racist!! SMH…..!
And there you go!!!
