A Deep Dive into California's Experiment with Making Fast Food Restaurants Pay $20 per Hour

[Seymour Flops]

This lady explains the successes and failures in a way that is very watchable and informing.



The part about Newsom exempting friends (meaning donors) using twisted language in the bill is not just a side effect of the new wage requirements. It is a key part. This has been the government's way of doing business practically since government began: Set odious regulations, and except those who pay the right people from either the regulation, or from the enforcement.

Imagine being a poor Canadian who visits their relatives down south. On the drive back to the monarchy, they pass through California and decide to grab some McDonalds, Happy Meal combos for the family, "that will be $208 Canadian sir"

To be fair you don't need as many workers when the prices are so high that no one can afford to eat there.

Oh, yeah. The market always finds a way to adjust.

Hard to imagine that it was more than one hundred years ago, when Henry Ford set a goal of making high quality cars so affordable that even the factory workers could drive one. Now a Mickey D's worker cannot afford to eat a Big Mac.

Maybe part of the regulation should have been to require each McDonald's to post a list of the nearest stores of the restaurants that Newsom exempted because his friends owned them.

Maybe even Newsom thought that would be too obvious . . .

I won't eat a BigMac either. I can afford it, but I'm not going to pay that much for a burger. I'll grill my own at home.

And McD workers get a employee discount - at least the ones who still have jobs.

Thanks Gavin Newsolini! Destroying California jobs is a full time job.

Why people eat fast food is frankly hard to fathom.
