Mmhmm. This only means there will be fewer jobs at that wage. Companies don't magically have an increased salary/wage budget for this so this means fewer people will be employed. Amazing though isn't it!
Yeah. There should be no mail in voting unless for invalids and only then with a doctor's note. BTW why is a dog whistle 'bad' but a wolf whistle amusing?
It’s unfortunate this had to pass. Lots of republicans voted for it. The reason it passed was because the governor in 2004 banned individual cities from raising their own minimum wage. They denied the will of the people then and now it’s back 16 years later with a vengeance. Small towns will suffer but oh well the elected officials of our state ignored our problems. And they were republican (prob the McCain loving types)
I voted for this with a heavy heart because of the shit show employers are creating here specifically. Very unique employment mentality vs other states like Texas. It’s a penny wise but pound foolish mentality. Now you have workers so ghetto they can’t speak any language right and they live in dumpy places amongst new constructuction bringing property values down across the board. Then they end up having 5 kids that get into the school systems and start dragging the ratings down until parents pull their kids out and have to build a new school or do charter. Holds whole areas back. If they just let cities raise the min wage those low quality people would have just naturally been pushed out to more affordable areas as cities get more gentrified. And in south Florida you bet they hire the Lowest of the low. Florida has wage problem and there’s no way to unionize or vote locally. That’s why it is what it is.
Yeah Florida!
I guess my technicians that make $25-$30/hr are safe but they will have to say goodbye to the $12/hr helpers and apprentices and work alone now. That law doesn't get unskilled workers $15 it gets them fired. I'll also inform them to bring $15 for lunch everyday instead of $7 or $8 to eat at McD or BK.
I held a meeting with my employees and explained this exact concept. The low skilled people will be let go, and the high skill people will do their jobs plus the low skill jobs for the same pay if it passes. Someone said why? And I just gave up and said never mind.
Agreed. They will rather hire some drug addict or someone fresh off the boat then anyone qualified with a clean record. Only place I’ve ever lived with unique problems like this. I normally wouln’t be for a min wage hike but going around south Florida and seeing the kind of person they hire taking jobs away from skilled workers is terrible.
Wages are historically bad in Florida. I can understand why this might have passed but this is the absolute wrong way to fix it. All it's going to do right now is lose people jobs. This is a short term solution to a long term problem. Not gonna work in the end and do nothing but inflate the economy down here.
Pretty much. Don't let this small business excuse take away from the fact that contractors will pay you fucking nothing if they could. Skill or not. Show up to a job interview with a contractor and tell him you have skills 🤣🤣.. sorry about your luck here's ten bucks an hour peasant. It's true. You need to be a full-on contractor to make any money in the industry no matter what. That means having every little aspect of it. Your own tools, business license, truck and trailer, bunch of customers already otherwise you're just another fucking helper regardless of how much you know. Not everybody's meant to run a business
In the long run, a $15 minimum wage will only lower everyone else’s spending power. The economy will naturally adjust and people making $15 will find out that what used to cost $10 will now cost $15.
I totally agree. President Trump won big in every state including GA, but thanks to Dominion Biden got his votes. And who gave GA Dominion? The GOP without a single Democrat legislator voting for it. Can't make this up.
Based former Cubans and Venezuelans now living as American citizens, many as first time voters, took their stand against leftist ideology. Not even fraud could overcome their votes!!
They must feel chagrined. Smartmatic and Dominion gave Venezuela Chavez and Madura, and America uses that too. We'd be so much freer if we still used paper ballots.
Audit the vote. I don't believe Biden gets 5.2m
Upvote x 100
Yeah, audit even in places we flat out win. Nationwide. Fraud is fraud.
There's no fucking way he got 5.297
Not a chance
Their vote count would go down even further. lol
Revote that $15/hr, clearly mail bs still was a problem
Mmhmm. This only means there will be fewer jobs at that wage. Companies don't magically have an increased salary/wage budget for this so this means fewer people will be employed. Amazing though isn't it!
Or your $5 burger will be $10
I know, im FL resident and I cannot believe that BS passed! It is going to have some very unfavorable consequences.
Yeah. There should be no mail in voting unless for invalids and only then with a doctor's note. BTW why is a dog whistle 'bad' but a wolf whistle amusing?
I guess just the sexual undertones towards a female associated. It’s just all stupid, everybody gets upset about everything on the left.
Yeah but we're not on the left. I don't think most women mind a wolf whistle unless they are leftist women who never get one.

Ouch.
Did you hear that Dems? Now apprenticeships suffer, and that's one of the best ways to get into a job for a lot of people.
"The working man's party" my dingalingdong

No...your technicians will now want $10 more an hour because unskilled labor is getting $15. Minimum wage is a bargaining point for unions.
If you own an AC company in FL and that is what you pay your people you should just change your username to FloridaSlaveDriver. Jesus Christ.

There's no way Trump wins by that much in FL and loses in GA!!! Fucking ridiculous

YES !
One of the first.
A state with little to no fraud. Strange how a hugely populated state like Florida and Texas didn't have trucks of Biden ballots show up at 3am
Ah, one of those Trump votes is mine. Fuck yeah Florida pedes
Based former Cubans and Venezuelans now living as American citizens, many as first time voters, took their stand against leftist ideology. Not even fraud could overcome their votes!!

YES!!! 🇺🇸 Florida is MAGA country.
370,000. I like that lead
It was larger. Audit Florida too! Fuck "pick my battles" we need to crush in every state. Maybe even California!
There'd be a similar or bigger lead in every state without the cheating.
God bless Florida.
