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:
How many will demand a reduction in hours because the higher wage puts them over the cap for welfare benefits?
they don’t get it do they?
no….they’ll have robots before they go of business…this is what some people don’t understand….if you raise wages you have to raise the price of the product…cause if you don’t you WILL BE OUT OF BUSINESS!!!!
Just keep digging that grave California.
That’s too much. I didn’t raise my prices. I didn’t go out of business until I wanted to.
That is exactly what happens! California has never been know to do the right thing.
