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:
We already are.Robotic sheep. They hate anyone who has alittle money, they should learn to build their own shelters; grow own food; make own clothes; educate their offspring if they don’t abort them; make their own spaceships; protect their homes;put out their fires; protect themselves with NO guns.

Seldon Wright, yes it is.
Congratulations on your raise California fast food workers! Now you can’t even afford to eat at the place where you work.
An egual and opposite reaction to a foolish move by government. Everyone suffers.
Liberals are so stupid basic math could have to them prices would go up.
I hate to bust your bubble. They know exactly what they’re doing. It’s all in their plan to bring America to their knees. It’s all in the making. Socialism.
It’s the rich that gives you and me a paycheck. If they tax the rich man out of business, we all suffer.
Just WHERE did you think the money was coming from???
New York is going to follow suit…
