This type of story will become increasingly commonplace in the near future now that California’s new onerous minimum wage law for fast food workers took effect Monday. Many will say, “Who cares what happens in Krazy California?” and I will remind you as I always do that what starts here more often than not spreads across the country. Especially when we have a Democrat president, as we do now, who drools over Gov. Gavin Newsom’s socialist maneuverings and tries to copy them whenever he can.
AB 1228, signed by Newsom in September 2023, requires a $20 minimum wage for restaurants that have at least 60 locations nationwide—except, inexplicably—those that make and sell their own bread. Um, what?
Already, fast food prices are skyrocketing around the Golden State, workers are being laid off, and locations are being closed. All in the name of helping the little guy.
Who could…
