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:
When Chipotles tries to pass itself off as Mexican food..in California,no less…who cares?
If you eat at Chipotle, you can afford to pay a bit more. More greedy drivel from “Truth (the biggest misnomer ever) & Action.”
Businesses will automate where possible & start laying-off people. How will the laid-off people pay their bills when their unemployment runs out?
Raising the minimum wage sounds great but it doesn’t stop there. How about those who have been working at an establishment for years and have worked their way up but not reached the $15 mark yet. What are you going to do about them? Suppose they are making a certain percentage above entry level. Will they maintain that percentage? It will go on and on. LIke so many proposed liberal policies, it might look good on paper but when questions arise that will come from reality, maybe not so good. e.g. HIllary’s propsal on day care. She says that the day care workers need to be paid more and families should only have to pay a certain percentage based on their income. Sounds good until you drill down a little. Who can afford to maintain a day care center when they are getting paid less but have to pay out more? Watch day care centers fold! This is not the answer!
By the way, Chipotle is not expensive!
Why hell yes they raised the prices, no way no how are the CEO’s gonna allow anyone to dig into their $30M a year salary along with their $30M a year bonuses.
Example: Yahoo hires Marissa Mayer 3 years ago in hopes to bail out yahoo out of it’s mess, she made on the avg of $35M a year, yahoo is still a failure and now she’s offered $55M to leave, corporate America is who you need to be pissed at.
Every American deserves a decent living wage for corporations of these sizes.
