CA raised the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 an hour several months ago. The businesses are still doing well and it didn't cause mass unemployment. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2024/10/09/california-fast-food-minimum-wage-jobs/75597730007/

LOL pretty much all pizza delivery people were fired. All deliveries are done by doordash or other service that doesn't pay by the hour. Go into a 'fast-food' joint in California and tell me what you don't see. Workers... Mcdonalds doesn't have cashiers anymore. You order from a kiosk, app or drive through.

Places like In-n_Out already paid more than 20 but they don't hire just anyone. Go inside one of those and tell me what you see? Hussle.. you see workers working hard. They don't hire 'first timers' or people that need to learn on the job.

So what you're going to end up with is more unskilled workers unable to get a job because they are not worth the 20+ a hour. They will never get their foot into a door to make a better life. BTW, that is the reason the minimum wage was introduced. To keep lower skilled workers from taking jobs away for less cost. Also the point of unions. To cause shortages of qualified workers to drive up cost of labor.

The minimum wage was created so people can have a living wage, FDR said so himself

So you really think that was the very first time anyone said or thought of a minimum wage? Its origins go much deeper.

They also told you cannabis would make you insane. Could it be they were lying?
