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:
Good Job ! It’s called inflation and we’ve known this was coming . The Fed’s will lie to you about this also .
what the hell did they expect? People who work in fast food for life are not highly intelligent.
San Francisco… is an unliveable unvisitable city… You could NOT pay me enough to ever go there again.
They will eventually all go broke. Who can pay for the food when they have to raise their prices??
Why are people surprised? Don’t they realize prices have to increase? Don’t they know that the state benefits from more taxes? The workers gain NOTHING!!!!
No surprise.
Oh,. They gonna understand!,. Waiting for when staff start getting called to meetings to be told they will be losing there jobs as they are wheeling kiosks in,.. Patiently waiting,…
Food poisoning will cost more now!
Like duh
Nope… Stupid is not fixable legally
