Social Minimum Wage now at $20 an hour in California

Everyone deserves to cover basic necessities you might DIE without, regardless of this premise of "value" that's often used to divide labor. If a business cannot pay the cost of someone's time and effort, they must go without the service or perhaps skip the avocado toast and Starbucks.

You're making my point for me.... you just seem to be okay with millions of people being unemployable, as not everybody is capable of providing value to employer that covers the cost of ALL of the basic necessities of life. That's as simple fact, I wish it wasn't, but it is.

It's my belief that work give people dignity and purpose, and that people who are not productive enough to earn a "living wage" should be able to contribute what they can, and perhaps improve their value to the workplace where that become possible.

I would support very strict regulations and oversight to make sure that employers aren't underpaying people who fall below the "living wage" threshold, but I would not force employers to take a loss on an employee just to meet that threshold.

I don't really have much to add here. There are articles from a number of perspectives being circulated.

This smells exactly like the Walgreens corporate lie and the same idiots are lining up to fellate corporations. It's done, so I guess we'll see over the next five years.

Yea it’s a good idea maybe they should make 50 a hour .. that would help those workers a lot.

Maybe you should take a break from humping your Luigi shooter pillow and learn how to use the internet and research .


The study reveals that revised employment estimates show a decline of over 23,100 jobs (3.2%) in the limited-service restaurant sector over the past year, while the rest of the U.S. saw growth of 0.8% in the same category.

A real stroke of genius would be to raise the minimum wage to $40 an hour but tax it's citizens almost 50% of their income like they do in Europe it could be a utopia!

What you’re going to try to act like you read more than a paragraph on a topic before rendering a conclusion? No one believes you you brain rotted troglodyte

Glad you bumped this. Here’s a reminder of your social media brain rot- falling for a picture from well before the minimum wage was raised.

You’re seriously hopelessly at this point. You fall for the same lame and obvious loyalty over and over and over again. Fuck man.

I would 100% be in favour of paying more taxes across the board if it meant we got a lifestyle that a lot of Scandanavian countries have. At least you get something out of your tax dollars there.

I'll never understand how people opt out of having public services and employee unions.

How did they brainwash people into standing against all of their own interests?

Another typical shitpost from that dude

Instead of addressing of content your post... he tries to deflect by crapping on where it came from.

You know you've hit the mark when that happens. There's no denying what's going on from retard Gavin's attempt to buy votes and then making things worse in the process.

And for you dipshits... Who the fuck is making a career of working at McDonalds. Entry level jobs are just that... entry level. A place for young people to get their first experience at the work place. Not to work there for 20-30 and retire... lol.

It's a completely garbage argument to make that people should be supporting families while flipping burgers. Raising the min wage for fast food workers completely defeats that purpose and the end result if massive inflation in the cost of making what supposed to be affordable food.

And guess who eats fast food the most... blue collar workers.

So its a double whammy

Now there's fewer fast food jobs and middle/lower familes have to pay more to eat.

Well done shitheads

California unemployment rate worst in the nation, according to state data​

Here you go @Blayt7hh... no twitter posts

Not just job losses... but reduced work hours and benefits for those that kept their jobs... lol.

California’s fast-food minimum wage is super-sizing job losses​

The reality is that they typically do more harm than good, resulting in fewer jobs, fewer hours for workers who have jobs, and higher prices for consumers. This can be seen in the case of California’s recently-enacted $20 an hour minimum wage for fast-food workers.

The $20 rate went into effect in the Golden State in April 2024, up from $16 previously. A working paper published this month by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the increase caused employment in the state’s fast-food sector to decline by 2.7 percent. That translates to a loss of 18,000 jobs.

The damage for California doesn’t stop at job losses, as CEI has noted previously. The vast majority of California’s fast-food workers, 89 percent, have had their work hours reduced. Another 35 percent have seen their supplemental benefits reduced.

Customers suffer as well. Menu prices for Golden State restaurants rose 14.5 percent between September 2023 and December 2024, nearly double the national rate of 8.2 percent for restaurants. Prices jumped 3 percent in the month after the minimum wage hike went into effect. Americans across all income groups eat fast food, but the core consumers are low-income families according to the Morning Consult. Any price increase is going to hit them the hardest.
