California makes history

"California has made history by defeating Proposition 32, which sought to raise the state minimum wage from $16 to $18. This represents the first state in nearly three decades to reject a statewide minimum-wage increase. Over 50% of voters rejected the measure. Multiple organizations argue that the increase would hurt small businesses and raise costs for consumers." - Miami Herald

No one wants to pay more for services, its high enough already.

Many states have higher minimums and CA, at $16, is already among the highest. That probably explains why people said "enough."
Here's a list by state.

Some cites have an even higher minimum wage.  Last time I checked several months ago, some cities were in the $18-$19.50 range.  That's insane.

This thread is about the Federal and State minimum wage. Is Fester in Russia? Or maybe in LaLaLand.

When the minimum wage is greater than the worth of the output, the wage becomes zero. The job disappears. The person who lost the job now makes zero.

To the best of my knowledge, most European countries don’t have one and their fast food workers make like $22 an hour. This is because they have meaningful unions. I think unions would be better off without a minimum wage. Give them something to really negotiate for.

after he gets fired by Ramaswamy and Musk, he certainly must be hoping for the highest possible hourly wage.
Best of luck, Wanker!

…but I was surprised by the investment needed and how narrow the margins were. I might have gone and done it anyway, if Covid hadn’t happened. I always had a dream of opening a fast food joint that sold scrapple burgers with sides of sauerkraut and deep fried horse radish sticks. The only beverages would be pickle juice and regret.
