California legislators and labor unions reached a tentative agreement that will take the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Last one out of the state, please turn off the lights. Or do I need to write that in Spanish?

As long as they don’t head east.
Luckily they have all those undocumented workers who can take cash under the table for work, aren’t they?
The funny thing is that a month ago local news pointed out Oakland’s high minimum wage being a major contributing factor for the local Walmart closing.
Of course their reporting on the impact of the high minimum wage in Seattle included a quote from a city manager blaming the businesses for closing, “they were marginal businesses and likely to close anyway”
Why, oh why, does California hate low-income workers?
It’s just mandated that these poor struggling folk must produce at least $15 worth of profit now for their employers, instead of the $10 worth of profit these low-skilled folks have gotten comfortable with.
A fifty percent increase in productivity is a lot to ask of these overstressed, hard-pressed minimum-wage earners. Some of them may already have been doing their utmost. They’ll have to leave their jobs. Others are already producing $15 worth of profit for their bosses: this won’t affect them, and their jobs are out of reach of the less qualified.
So why does California hate minimum-wage earners so much that they will squeeze them into unemployment if they can’t reach the new benchmark: being 150% more productive than they were?
no need to worry about having someone turn out the lights here in #Failifornia…
Moonbeam’s “renewable energy” plan to fight global warming will ensure there isn’t enough electricity to keep things lit.
Será el último en salir del estado por favor, apagar las luces
Meanwhile, welfare already pays more than $15/hr so now there will be even less taxes coming in to pay for the even more people on it, what a great idea!!11!!!11!
