My favorite part of this is the crowd surrounding Newsome doesn't understand that fast food restaurants will replace all of them with kiosks to order food. The upfront costs of buying and installing the kiosk will pay for itself in a year. Now no one has a job. The thing is, Newsome is smart enough to understand this, but he's just pandering to stupid people in the short term to get their votes.

He’d rather them on disability and welfare than working.

The average American is woefully ignorant of all things economic.

The reason we are doomed.

Somebody got paid off.

AB 1228 applies to fast-food chains with at least 60 locations nationwide — except for those that make and sell their own bread.

Some fast food chains may consider adding their names to the list of companies leaving California….at least maybe the headquarters…while locations get kiosks.

The bill’s landmark change is a minimum wage hike to $20 per hour, almost $5 higher than the Golden State’s minimum wage of $15.50.


We just want a $15 per hour livable wage!

This is economically unfeasible. Newsome knows this. He gets a headline today, and by the time the chickens come home to roost, he will either be a federal politician or an MSNBC talk show host.

The people that don't understand economics will soon be unemployed as either their jobs are replaced by automation, or their employer goes out of business.

With the ever-accelerating advancements in tech… it’s one of the worst times i. history to raise the cost of manually unskilled labor.

Newsome and the like are pricing workers
out of the market place, rather than helping them obtain competitive skills. It’s cruel.

Robots will probably do a better job and then you only have to deal with the guy that works on the robots...

Is it possible to know the details of the law without giving up cookies to the crap in the link?

If I go back to Cali again, I may actually get something communicating to me in English for my order.


I speak pidgin Spanish but it isn’t enough to articulate a specialty burger order.

When you come to the understanding that all democrats want societal collapse, then you’ll understand their actions better.

The result is less employees and worse customer satisfaction but many consumers don’t deserve a good experience these days anyway..

Be awesome if every single fast-food joint in California shut the doors and closed down.

This will result in changes in the fast food world.

Chains will melt down, more robotics will replace teens first jobs, older workers will come in, more single family owned franchise restaurants will emerge, prices will rise.

And fast food companies won’t restrict the price increases to California. They will spread it out nationwide. Thanks California.

there is a new McDonalds here in DFW that is nothing but kiosk.
Another by the house as a register and a few kiosk. It takes longer to get the order in at the kiosk than it does just talking to somebody. I refuse to use them, they suck
