California fast food council
From iGeek
California can't manage anything well, so they created a Fast Food Council to try to regulate wages at some chains.

Problems[edit | edit source]
It punishes employment:
- If you have over 100 workers, then it applies. Meaning it rewards small chains to stay under 100 employees, or advantages non-chain, or chain clones. (I).
- At $22/hour, it incentivizes automation, putting more people out of work.
It has loopholes:
- If you bake bread, you are excluded. Meaning McD’s has to ad a muffin tins and a baking process to their repertoire for no reason. (Basically, Panera and Subway had better lobbyists, or bribes, that figured out how to exclude themselves).
- If you work a harder job than, ”would you like fries with that?”…. Well, the minimum wage is $15/hour… so your life is worth more to Democrats if you agree to be a wage slave in fast food than if you pick the food, ship the food, keep the power running, build your home, pick up trash and so on.
It punishes the bottom:
- You have a high end restaurant like the French Laundry? You can pay your staff less. This keeps Gavin and friends entertained. But if you’re a small guy with a chain (that doesn't bake your own bread)? This is a way to pressure you out of business, or keep you poor.
- It also means that all low-end places are going to have to drive up their prices. Since there are more consumers than producers (especially among the busy lower classes), this hurts far more people than it helps.
Conclusion[edit | edit source]
It hurts more than it helps. It has work-arounds. It doesn't apply equally to all -- which increases unfairness. And what it does do is hurt the poor far far far more than it helps them. But it's good virtue signaling... and will put many out of work. And that's what California politicians want: a thriving dependency class that demonizes the businesses that they bankrupted.
