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:
People eat there?
Better choice, cut employees hours by 10-14%, that way employees keep there same pay and they don’t have to raise prices.
What do people think would happen? Lol fucking dumbasses!
A liberal mind set is what is good for me right now with no thought of what is good for the future unless it involves more for me. Very short sighted and selfish
Wow what a surprise they had to raise prices
If we don’t have a living wage the Middle class will support the all subsidizing for ever… Do the math and stop being FUCKING IDIOTS..
That is when they will legalize slavery again and we get to go work in the fields for free!!
Duuhhh. Basic math … anyone suprised the prices had to go up?
California is retarded
Not surprising
