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.

Food not that good. And way to expensive.

DUHH……
Ignorance 101
Knowing the People’s Republic of California and San Fransicko, price controls will probably be next!
Used to work in accounting.
It’s not just the wages…the employer has to match soc.sec…unemployment. ..a lot of different regulations for fees etc..I seriously don’t see how people stay in business. ..no business no jobs..
These entry level positions are a good start in life or offers some pocket money to students but when they enforce these minimum wages everyone loses..and hey all the government do is shrug their shoulders and put more regulations to tax people some other way..disgusting!
DUH!!!!
Duh!!!
They don’t get it. Yet, they claim they maintain higher intellectual and moral grounds. Humorous really.
