Even better, I watch with a smug "told you so" at the number of California restaurants, especially fast food joints, that are closing because there is no way to pay $20/hr while selling at the normal food prices, even for California.
On one hand, yes. LMAO.
But remember... those are 'entry level' jobs. They are kids who need a resume. Or college money. Or a chance to 'do' something other than sit in basements playing games.
It's farmers whose demand dries up. Lots of them in South America... who now become migrants.
It's entrepreneurs who buy franchises and increase their standard of living.
On the other hand, it is crap food and poisioning us and making us fat.
So there is that.
But... yeah. Unfortunately, the idiots are not learning the lessons of economics. They cry "Evil companies shut down restaurants and are racist." "Living wage has to be paid and stockholders are evil plutocrats." All chanting bullshit fed them by socialist schools and colleges and infiltrating leaders/community organizers. None of this is an accident or 'organic.' It's all being pushed.
