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 Kinsey if that “rich person” didn’t create the job in the first place, there would be no job to work at…
If that worker feels so “underpaid” they can create their own job and follow the same path as the “rich” person and make more money.
I’m assuming you don’t support any of these companies that you are talking about? Like shopping at Walmart?
Exactly……peace
It continues to amaze me that so many “so called” educated people have such a poor understanding of simple math and economics. I have close friends in that category.
Why are you so angry? It’s your own damn liberal fault! What do you expect business owners to beat all the costs? You must not know how hard it is to be a small business in CA or WA or whatever state you’re in… The other option is that businesses close you idiots
Yes big corporations, not small franchise orners
Same type of argument was used for years to support slavery.
name calling..idiot, moron…now thats intelligent conversation…dominic and john…
Of by some lark the wage goes up and some imbecile screws up my order at a fast food place I swear I’ll make them cry I’ll ridicule them so badly. Minimum skill equals minimal pay. Don’t like it, get a better job and stop being so lazy.
You hit the nail on the head sir.
