The sooner these low I.Q. retards get replaced by automation the better.

That is inevitable when wages for unskilled and usually entry level labor are increased suddently by a large percentage with the stroke of a pen.

That's not the answer my friend.

In the late 1800s and most of the 1900s we had little to no automation and society thrived.

15 dollar an hour jobs have their place in our society as they provide a gateway into the workforce for younger and parttime workers looking to make some pocket money while they are busy building a real skill.

but to expect this to be a career shows just how fucking "deadbeat" the left really is.

If a 15.00 or even 20.00 dollar an hour is to be a viable life long career choice in the minds of these idiots then they need to make life's expenses more palatable to that type of income.

In the early 1900's a man could support an entire family on a salary as a grocery store clerk.

Try that shit in California today.

I remember getting excited about a $10 an hour job.

Then I turned 19.

More than 1,200 delivery drivers will lose their jobs.

Now, customers who want delivery from the impacted restaurants will be forced to use third-party apps like DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats to order their Pizza Hut delivery.

This means that customers will pay more overall for their pizza because of the fees associated with the apps.

The unfortunate news demonstrates one of the key problems with government-mandated minimum wage increases: Business owners do not absorb the increased cost of labor.

In the case of these Pizza Hut operators, they are decreasing the size of their workforce to pay for the forced increase of labor. The second option is to pass the increased cost of labor to consumers. That is exactly what McDonald's and Chipotle are doing. After the bill became law, both fast-food chains said they will increase menu prices to offset the forced increase in employee wages.

The left continues to drive inflation higher.

San Francisco is so desperate for money they are now illegally trying to shake down giant companies.  GM had a handful of employees in San Francisco working on self driving cars so, ignoring federal and state tax law, San Francisco wants $108 million as a share of GM's total world wide revenue.  They will of course lose in court but SF is sending these bills to tens of thousands of companies hoping that some just pay it so they net gain money despite their demands being entirely illegal.

NYC loves to lie and pull the same shit hoping some people just pay without suing.

A surprisingly large number of of remote tech workers are moving from California to Tulsa, OK where the city will pay the. $10,000 if they stay for a year.  88% stay longer.  In Tusla you can buy a large house for $187,000 compared to an average of $1.2 million in Southern California.  Also as these workers usually make $100k-$200k a year they live like kings as the cost of living in OK is among the lowest in the country.

I read there is a big exodus from California. Don't the Democrats in that state see that as a problem.

Quote from: deadskinmask on December 26, 2023, 05:27:52 PMof course they do.... why wouldn't they? its clean even-burning and cheap.... not to mention transportable and dependable.... it works whether you have electricity or not.... i have two gas burners myself.... they want you on electric and they want your electric grid to be unstable.... because when you're chipped, they'll have the power to shut your whole life down.... you do what they say or you don't do anything....

Gas stoves are destroying the planet. Will someone please think of the planet.

The state has a $68 billion budget deficit with most experts saying that is a major under count and will turn out far higher...  Yet Dems now give free healthcare to all illegals as a reward for breaking our laws.

Even the dollar stores are being robbed out of business by the homeless drug addicts and the black flash mob gangs.

And San Francisco is probably in the top five too.
