Let these companies cripple themselves all because they don’t want to pay fair wages. If they can’t be bothered to ensure humans can live, they don’t need to be in this world.

The people were living just fine before. Now, they don’t have a job in a state with high unemployment. Seems like the governor created a problem when things were working just fine.

These jobs were already lost before the $20 wage. If you live California, you would know this as they have been installing machines to order your own meals, while the counter was no longer there besides to pick-up food. So no this had been planned since before. They are just using an escape goat to say this is why.

@wintermute_oregon @Fiivemacs "Just fine" is a bit of an exaggeration lol

Unverifiable statistics from a fascist propaganda machine.
Meanwhile, the nation of Zimbabwe has no statutory minimum wage and the unemployment rate for 2023 was 9.1. There is no direct connection between these two things and anyone who claims so is either foolish or deceitful.

All the news media is posting the same stats.

So you agree with me that there’s no direct connection between minimum wage and unemployment rate.

That’s heartless to want people to lose their jobs when they were happy with their wages. You’re going to chip in and help them pay their bills?

Alternatively the company could’ve just exploited their labor less and dealt with slightly lower profit margins.
But the poor shareholders matter so much more than the workers that just want to pay rent and eat.

Good news! They got job offers 4 days later.

Well good for them. When that other place opens, they’ll have a job making less money. I’m sure that’ll male them happy

The link to the WSJ doesn’t say they cut 9.5K jobs. It’s the same as the one from a month ago about some pizzeria dude losing his job. So, idk wtf this article (or the other Google links, because I searched this time) are talking about. This number feels like it’s being pulled out of thin air to provide a narrative that isn’t true. In other words, unless there was a study done, it’s disinformation.
