California Pizza Places Laying Off ALL Delivery Drivers Due To New Law

[Concerned American]

Cowards who won't stand up to this tyranny won't protect their idols, either, when real Americans man up and take the hereditary upper class down.

Then they will be the hereditary upper class. Are you really this stupid naturally or do you have to work at it.?

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Yep. As someone who worked on Wall Street in finance people often ask why the market is up with Biden. I tell them the market doesn't reward capitalism, it rewards profits. Democrats are fascists, of course the market does well. It's customers who get screwed

Stockholding is absentee ownership, just like Communism. The two came from the same absolutely evil source, hereditary wealth.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

This is absolutely stupid.
One of THE best part-time jobs is delivering pizza. (Or at least used to be)
I delivered pizza for the summer immediately out of high school to make some dough before college.
The wages are nearly immaterial. You make all your money in tips and "mileage"
Dominoes Pizza paid, at the time, only $4/hr plus you got a percentage of the sales for the pizzas you delivered to pay for gas/use of your vehicle.
But the tips is where the money is. This was in 1983, and on a Fri/Sat night you could clear $100 in tips, sometimes clear $150. Cash money. I averaged about $350-$400 a week plus another $150 in wages and mileage. For a total of $500 at least. Take home pay. That is like $19/hour - in 1983!!!!!!! (working about 30 hours a week)

Leftists are all narcissists, they only 'care' about themselves and 'winning', doesn't matter who they hurt in the process, people are just pawns in their power game, nothing more.

Two Wings of the Same Vulture. Carry On, Carrion.

Just like their Rightist prep-school classmates and their Rightist Daddies. Socialism was a protective reaction to the guillotine, to take over democratic movements and subvert them from on top.

Socialism is anti-social, just like all other ideas of the pitchfork-skewerable born-rich. Supporting either upper-class side is political suicide, but that's what we are forced to do under the Wits Wearing Wigs elitist manifesto, the Constitution.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

I knew it was a mistake to engage you. What a lunatic.

Abolishing Inheritance Is Not Way-Out. It Is the Way Out.

In other words, you have no intelligent rebuttal, so you have to pretend I'm as impossible to debate with as someone who believes we are controlled by extraterrestrials. Strawmen are always available to unAmerican preppylovers who have guts of straw. You Low-IQs are jealous of talent, which foolishly creates all the wealth of the plutocrats. You inferior minds love it when superior minds are exploited by the Low-IQ sperm-bingo winners.

Not that you'll listen to anything that proves how foolish you've been to believe that inheritance is harmless. But imagine if pro athletes got the privilege of passing on their positions to their sons. Within a few years, pro sports would become a joke and have to be disbanded, just like our Preppy Republic will be. If you believe in Richkid Rights, the joke's on you.

Capitalists pay market wages, you wouldn't understand, don't sweat it, MAGA man

Laissez Fairies

A "free market" means that whatever GreedHead clique controls a market is free to do whatever it wants. Only economic sissies worship economic bullies. It is dishonest college-level stupidity to squeak that the only alternative to that is government tyranny, so we have to submit to private-sector tyranny. You suckers are being set up, because the two imaginary sides practice the Bad Cop, Good Cop scenario.

 

[Concerned American]

you have no intelligent rebuttal,

There is no intelligent rebuttal to childish nonsense.

Well, frankly, any grown man making such low wages has probably made some poor choices

But if anyone deserves help it’s the working poor, not those who just want to stay home and collect welfare

If you mean opportunity, I agree. If you mean handouts, then it comes down to who is providing them. When it's free choice (charity) I agree. If you mean confiscate and redistribute, I don't

Just so you know, the owners of companies own the stock whether they are actively involved in the business or not. Stock means you own the company, that's all it means. Also, you are wrong most rich were given it by their parents, the majority earned it. Bad hereditary wealth is not an issue because it fixes itself in a generation or two

The people losing their jobs have their employer to blame. Their employer made that decision, nobody else. Higher expenses obvious create a challenge for any business. And it's possible that in the long run that could translate to job losses.

The simple fact is that this owner isn't making rational business decisions, he's just pulling an Ellis Wyatt, burning his own oil fields because he can. The law hasn't even taken effect yet. Why is he reducing his productivity now? Any rational business owner would assess the increase expense this will cause, and pass those costs along to the consumer.

One of two things will then happen:

1. Consumers continue to consume the product at the same rate, which indicates that the product was likely under priced and businesses were not fully capturing all possible market demand (which is often the case in a competitive market).
2. Consumers will reduce their consumption somewhat and necessitate a reduction in workforce that is commensurate with the reduced consumption.

It's not like this is something that applies only to one employer. This will be the case for every pizza joint in the state. All the company's competitors will be in the same boat. Something like 75% of pizza demand is in delivery. That's not going to simply disappear.

A business owner who cuts off their own nose to spite their face is not someone whose reactions are worth consideration when judging a government action.

Government action is the problem. Government is out of control in California and a few other states.

So does CNN. The media are like a boxer's left-right combination of punches. Anyone who listens to the photogenic and phonogenic On-Air AirHeads needs a batting helmet to protect him from brain injuries.

noonereal is speaking for stupid people who just get confused when they hear multiple opinions. Whether you like Fox or not, you hear both sides. Whether you like CNN or not, you hear one side. Makes it easy for stupid people like noonereal

Not the case. Fox makes shit up and is not a news outlet at all.
CNN has often favored a editorial slant from the left. They are a world wide news agency.

It is really sad so few understand these things.

Yes, Fox is Fair and Balanced.

Yes, Fox is Fair and Balanced.

That's their motto, but it's not what I said, MAGA man. You did a poo poo in your pants pants. You Joe Pedo Biden?

 

[Captain Caveman]

Ah, the minimum wage vicious circle strikes again.

Step 1 - Raise the minimum wage

Step 2 - Increases business costs, increase selling prices, increases job losses, more inefficient allocation of labour

Step 3 - Poverty increases, so.........

Go back to step 1, and repeat.

One thing in the market place needs scrapped, the minimum/living wage.

Edit : Sweden, Singapore, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland don't have minimum wage law.

 

[Leo123]

So I guess the "food ubers" will take over?

We already have ‘Door Dash.’

The employerscare 6o nlame also. If they shut down I might lose a second of sleep. Well probably not. Lol

Kind of misleading. As an example, Switzerland doesn't have a national minimum wage the cantons largely do.

 

[initforme]

If employers struggle that's on them. Not my concern if they go under. It's part of capitalism.

 

[Captain Caveman]

The unions in those countries tend to get better wages for the employees. Personally, scrap the minimum/living wage, it's a dreadful concept.
