I watched it happen. I laughed my arse off. My wife and I talked about it and how horrible a decision (hello automation) that would be and our son got a little lesson on how that’s a bad thing for everyone, especially those on the lower end of earners. Garvey, from the little that I watched was not impressive but he doesn’t stand a chance anyway.

Lee also went on to talk about how she was a small business owner and created hundreds of jobs. $50 an hour is simple to do and easily affordable in her world. Lunacy, absolute lunacy.

Why not? Price controls have worked almost every time they've been tried throughout history!

It is.

Keep raising costs through regulatory inputs until its impossible for private industry to manage.

But I have got to be focused on what California needs

Then maybe you should run for a seat in CA’s legislature.

There are professional trades and white collar doctorate level jobs that don’t make $50/hr in many states

Minimum wage-minimum skill jobs are not designed to support a family. They are starter jobs for teenagers and young people. Then you get experience and skills and get raises and move up or get a higher-paying job or go to college.
