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:
Nothing is free, everything comes at a cost.
So you have to pay more to get sick?
These lefties should have taken some courses in economics instead of liberal arts. SMH!

Fast food jobs were entry level jobs for high school kids before all the brilliant assclowns in DC. sent our good manufacturing jobs overseas. Now fast food jobs are careers. Great job assclowns.
That’s what I tell people. When I was in high school, many of my friends worked at fast food joints. Those jobs were designed for kids, not for raising a family!
who cares – Chipotle with their crappy and unsafe business practices – profits are down like 75% – they will be gone in 2 years anyway…
Bobby Deshotel Show what you know, Australia has 23 million people, or less than 10% of the US population, what a clown.
The right too. Trump is sinking like a torpedoed ship.
My favorite is the law of trust. Trust is the easiest to lose, but hardest to get. Post b******t lies over and over and people stop trusting you.
Why not just arrest the employers breaking our law?
