California and Wal Mart: A Match Not Made in Heaven
Posted on 1/27/26 at 1:57 pm

California recently passed a wage floor for retailers of $22/hr.
You read that right.
$22/hour
In addition to this, Cali has incredibly draconian penalties for not having proper documentation for off time, vacation time, doctor visits, etc. Like, Wal Mart anticipated paying millions this year in fines, as they employed roughly 100k people in Cali.
Short Blog for Cali Workers Penalties
Wal Mart operates on very slim margins and due to the 35% increase in pay, plus payroll taxes, etc, they are basically pulling out of Cali.
Hundreds of stores, tens of thousands of employees done.

Her channel is pretty solid.
EDIT: So SOLID, in fact, that it appears to be an AI channel.
This should be front page news if we had an honest media.

Section 226(e) gives each injured employee the right to collect statutory penalties for an employer’s knowing and intentional failure to provide accurate wage statements—$50 for the initial violation and $100 for each subsequent pay period in which there is a violation, up to a maximum of $4000 per employee. Clearly, overtime rates and wages should be reported on wage statements. Furthermore, meal period premium wages constitute wages for the purposes of inaccurate wage statement penalties. Murphy v. Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc., 40 Cal.4th 1094, 1114 (2007) (missed-break premium wages are part of an employee's wages earned); Avilez v. Pinkerton Government Services, 286 F.R.D. 450 (C.D. Cal. 2012) (“[I]f an employer fails to provide appropriate meal breaks . . . and also fails to record the premium accrued as a result . . . the employer has not kept accurate records and so also violates Section 226(a).”).
Labor Code § 201(a) requires an employer to pay all wages owed to employees immediately upon termination. If the employer willfully fails to do so, the employer must pay the aggrieved employees 30-days’ pay as an individually-recoverable statutory penalty under Labor Code § 203. Missed-break premium wages constitute wages for the purposes of waiting time penalties. Murphy, supra, 40 Cal.4th 1094, 1114 (missed-break premium wages are part of an employees’ wages earned); Avilez, supra, 286 F.R.D. 450. Pursuant to Labor Code § 203(b), the statute of limitations for these “waiting time” penalties is the same as that for the underlying wages owed.

Walmart cares nothing of this. This will destroy smaller retails and they will have the monopoly. They also have the power and money to go mostly AI, self serve, and robots.

This is what happens when you elect those with art and Native American studies degrees into power - they appoint their loser theater friends who got shoved in lockers by the jocks and mean girls, and had no respect among their average classmates in high school as a means of payback. If you cannot live in their world, then the world in general should cease to exist.
Anyone with an introductory economics class on their resume or transcript could see the issue here. I fully expect the lawyers, doctors and oil barons on this site to tell me otherwise.

This is by design. Once they eliminate the Wal-Marts then the government will have to “step in” and take over distribution to save the citizens, while simultaneously taking over production because all that went belly-up too.

The video I linked showed how many people will have to use Amazon and other delivery apps.
Newsom policies aren't good, and this issue should be blasted all over media.

That’s all well and fine with me as long as it is contained.
I had an interesting TikTok bookmarked (on my now permanent-banned account for calling people retarded), where an economist and historian likened modern urban areas to concentration camps. The difference being, poor residents choose to be there rather than being forced to be there. This is the future of America in these areas if policy does not change. I cant find the TikTok now - it’s impossible to search for because “concentration camps” is a dog whistle for all videos to be funneled towards Jews (although pows, gays, mentally ill and gypsies were victims of these camps as much as Jews were). I wish I’d remembered the economist’s name

Why not $2220 per hour? They could make all their citizens millionaires in a year!
