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:
Thats a perfect example of “Cause & Effect”. When wages go up, employers need to compensate for the loss in income.
AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GET THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS IF EVERNONE IS ON OVERNMENT HANDOUTS , WHO’LL BE WORKING TO PAY.
Maybe if obama didn’t let over 1000 people come into the country illegally everyday the laws of supply and demand wouldn’t be working against us.
San Francisco a Sanctuary City. Of course the freeloaders living in SF can probably afford to eat there. It’s the working person who cannot.
Audine Benson PEOPLE WHO YELL IN COMMENT SECTIONS MOST LIKELY!!!!
Let them raise their prices and when people stop eating there and they lose money they will fall back in line with comparable restaurants.
BS
Greedy fucks glad I’ve never eaten at chipotles and I never will now
They already are on foodstamps thanks to greedy assholes that own and run companies
—HA HA HA—And the concept of direct market competition is something that At-right business like this can’t grasp, but some businesses just need to fail so that others can flourish.
