    Los Angeles goes full economic retard.

    You can laugh in the face of inflation, but it always gets the last laugh.

    It seems these days that if its a stupid idea, Commiefornu is all for it.

    I wish it were the whole state and not just the city.

    That way we'd get a genuine example to show off to the rest of the country.

    I heard this on talk radio the other day. It boggles the mind that people are this stupid to think that making an employer pay higher wages won't affect their businesses.

    A lot of marginal-profit businesses will fold and those that hold on will be forced to charge more for their products, forcing people to look elsewhere for those services at a more reasonable rate.

    Of course, those minimal wage earners are going to be laid off in droves, thereby forcing higher taxes to pay for their unemployment checks, spreading out the tax increases to everyone in the state, who will be forced to pay for these new additions to the welfare roles.

    Los Angeles will turn into a business wasteland.

    Yup. Those people in Los Angeles are just full of smarts.

    Seattle also has implemented a $15 minimum wage. Thus far they've seen prices rise, people get laid off and businesses forced into bankruptcy.

    There simply is no free lunch, but you can't convince a commie of that. They will see the country destroyed in search of their unobtainable utopia.

    Don't forget the unions love this idea. That's because their contracts stipulate that union wages are tied to the minimum wage. If that goes up they get an undeserved raise themselves.

    I never understood what is so difficult about the concept of acquiring an education or learning a new skill in order to obtain a better-paying job. $15 an hour to prepare a burger or retrieve grocery carts?

    I've never understood how unions are legal. But no matter, before long only government employees will belong to unions and states will over time decide/be forced, to do away with those too.

    Actually, utopia is from Greek meaning what you are describing:

    "ou" = no
    "topos" = place

    So utopia is "no place".

    A Wacdonalds on my way to work has, in the last 2 months, ALWAYS gotten my order wrong. Not filled my drink up all the way in the drive through, forgotten fries, and given me stale fries. Not to mention one morning they filled my large ddp about 4 inches from the top of the cup, and when I asked, the chick in the window acted pissed and dissappeared for 5 minutes. Then she came back, got a new cup, and filled it up all the way. But she DESERVES $15......

    This is socialism. Many don't agree with it. But it is. Its about 'social justice' and forced economic equality. And it won't work. We are living out Atlas Shrugged.
    "What sick, barbaric bastards.

    It's one thing to use terrorism to make a political statement, but the wanton mutilation and suffering of innocents? How does that forward your political goals? When done in the name of religion, how does that earn you brownie points with God?

    Fuck religious extremism. And especially fuck the "religion of peace." "

    So, lagcsocialist supports terrorism AS LONG AS ITS FOR POLITICAL ENDS....

    Good point, Gunner. I just think these two, Commiefornu and Illinois, will get there first. Cuomo, will surely be disappointed in the 3rd place ribbon.

    If you want to help folks making minimum wage just exempt them from paying income taxes.

    I assume you are talking about an exemption from State income tax since (as many people don't seem to be aware) low to moderate income working people not only pay no/zero Federal income tax, they get a Federal welfare payment via the IRS called an EITC tax refund.

    All you are qualified to do is flip burgers after receiving a liberal education.
