Oops...
And another oopsie for Commiefornia, as if they didn't believe what happened in Seattle...
California’s new $20-per-hour minimum wage for fast food workers has resulted in a significant decline in employment in that sector, leading to 18,000 fewer jobs than would have been the case otherwise.
Full article, HERE from Breitbart.
Granted that is a drop in the bucket for them, but a LOT of those are/were entry level jobs for teenagers and those just starting in the workforce.
Where do they go now?
Or do they just stay home and live in their parent's basements???
And did they NOT learn anything from what happened in Seattle with the loss of jobs/closures of small restaurants/fast food franchises??? Link HERE, and what I find interesting is that apparently Kings Co. doesn't 'track' employment... strange...
The other thing lots of folks, not just on the left coast, but across the country are seeing is more kiosks in place of live workers...
For or against??? Personally, I don't care for them, as I like to pay cash rather than use a credit card in those places...
I use the kiosks and pay by credit card almost exclusively. Not out of some philosophical preference, but purely convenience. I carry very little cash, and live far from any fee-free ATM.
If I were to do what I think is a best practice, I'd pay cash for everything. I think the oncoming push to CBDC and elimination of cash will be a huge imposition on our privacy. There is no doubt that it will be abused by both government and corporations.
The communist/socialist/progressive inbred desire to follow the playbooks written by Marx, Lenin, and Mao demands they knowingly destroy small business owners (the bourgeoisie) by forcing their costs to rise to an unsustainable point. The introduction of kiosks puts a kink in their plans, but still raises unemployment, destabilizing the economy. Also, the positions removed are just the jobs that help young adults, in the workforce for the first time, to develop the good habits that will serve them their whole life.
