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.

That's the end game for leftists. To destroy families, churches, & communities and replace them with the government.

The average American is woefully ignorant of all things economic.

The reason we are doomed.

That’s by design. It creates more dependency on big government and more efficiency in the workforce with automation/robotics. It won’t be just CA doing this in the near future either.

This is the chess move towards universal basic income.

Somebody got paid off.

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.

Does the bread need to be baked on site? Or can these franchises just order bread from a third party, and throw it on the menu to avoid the law?

Well I guess a franchise owner could start a bakery and make his own buns.

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.

It’s actually not. The problem is these people bemoaning their low wages will still show up to a low skill job with the same shitty attitude and work ethic as they had before, setting a ceiling on quality of service. Prices at these places have to be tapped out

It’s become so lost that if you ask for a raise, people will expect more of you.

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

The problem is the people with the power i.e. the corporations don't have the courage to do what is necessary

Had these companies gotten together and said if this law passes we are shutting down and then actually followed through it would have created the ripple effect of having everything changed be more appropriate

The UAW and the other unions including the UPS union have given the ultimatums and the other side has caved

Without the courage of your convictions these companies are now fricked

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.
