That's the Soviet way, comrade! We fix costs and set prices. This squeezes the dirty capitalist out of existence and permits the State to intervene on behalf of the proletariat.
Even if you do leave and have any assets Cali still thinks they are entitled to taxes on them. They are legit trying to pass a bill that will tax you for 10 years if you leave the state and you have any measurable amount of money. That state is a fuckin joke.
MC Donalds and Burger King will have self checkout but smalltalk Businesses will be unable to pay the wages. So somehow, blackrock wins again, what a coincidence.
also a sign of too many illegals everywhere working for low keeping wages down. every california restaurant is like that… one white waiter, all staff are illegals working kitchen. illegals are like modern day indentured servants. all those businesses want more of them to keep costs down.
One day I was at this restaurant in suburban Chicago and it was late with nobody except me and a manager. The manager was an American-born Mexican who told me that the regional manager above him would threaten to withhold wages from the illegals working at the restaurants in the area. In some cases they'd not even pay these people. The illegal workers are treated like slaves.
This was under Trump at the time, so the illegals were afraid to go to the authorities. I don't know if things changed for those people.
You support these businesses by frequenting them. Just like you support Chinese slaves building your products if you purchase their wares. Twenty years ago there was moral outrage over Kathy Lee Gifford and Jessica Simpson outsourcing manufacturing to sweat shops, now we just imported the upper crust immigrants from third world countries who don't give a damn about morals.
Agree, I stopped going to the restaurant after I found out. But in Illinois, you aren't going to avoid businesses hiring illegals because they are everywhere.
There was a time when ICE did immigration raids, but those don't exist anymore. This is a federal government problem and it's obvious the government doesn't want to do shit about this problem.
Listen, im as against the invasion as you are, but saying "American born mexican" is incorrect. Homeboy was by virtue of law just "American". Love yah fren!
This was happening in SC and then the legislature passed e-verify. The next day they started hiring Americans again in restaurants, grocery stores and places where taxes are deducted. Lots of illegal immigrants in construction trades though....and it makes it hard on Americans who like to do construction work. We can't compete and they won't hire Americans because we don't speak spanish....
Even big companies are off shoring workers and even managers and directors, anyone they can get for a lower wage and train up to do the job. Operating on our soil, utilizing our infrastructure, gaining all the benefits our country provides them and paying people in other countries to do the work.
Culver's is very very good, we go there often <3 <3 <3
They do little fried "cheese curds" year-round, but for National Cheese Month they do a burger that includes a big "fried cheese patty" (that is in May, if I remember correctly.) So Much Win, I wish that was always on the menu <3 <3 <3
Thank you, that is useful information! The girl at the drive-through (yes, I just assumed her gender) said that it was coordinated with National Cheese Month (which is May) but I'll take that anytime they will fry it up. Do Want! <3 <3 <3
I think the fry gimmick the only reason they are still around. Yeah, that burger with the greasy, soggy buns is expensive as hell. But look how many fries they give you!
Five guys used to be better but they're just not anymore. No where near with the money. 35$ for two okay burgers and a large fry to share? It better be damn good for that price and it just isn't. The flavors on the meat are underwhelming and the fries are still hot out miss depending on where they hit them from and who cooked them that day.
I used to eat there 3 times a week for years. Now, it's probably been since before COVID that I went.
Actually lost weight doing it. Didn't get the fries most days just the burger and I fast 16-18hrs each day so, can pretty much eat whatever and not gain.
I went for the first time. By fast food standards it was pretty good and didn't leave me feeling gross. The kids that worked there were very nice to deal with.
What doesn't get talked about enough is their service and cleanliness relative to the fast food industry. That alone makes me choose them over others if it's an option
They've already announced the In-N-Out HQ is leaving the state! But sadly not to Texas but surprisingly to Tennessee (due to tax reasons). Will be strange for them to not be based where their store are, but props for them standing up for themselves.
I moved to Texas from California and not long after that in n out moved into our area. I think they're expanding out of California as much as they can.
When idiots do this, all they do is create INFLATION…… when you pay more for minimum wage, all you’re doing it giving everyone else a pay-cut…… it called SALARY COMPRESSION!….. if I was making $20 per hour and the minimum wage was $10, now the minimum wage is $20…. This means I would NOW be a minimum wage earner, PAYCUT….. this elected dumb fuck doesn’t have the right to reduce wages!
The inflation is bad enough, but they're also preventing people who are incapable of producing enough labor to earn $20 from having jobs at all.
Teenage kids for whom the experience is more important than the wage, and retirees whose bodies aren't up to hard labor anymore, would love to have low-impact, low-stress work that might not pay all that much. But with a too-high minimum wage, these jobs won't even exist. They'll hire two people to do the work of four and then work those two like rented pack mules.
There are far more fast food and other minimum wage jobs than the type of people you claim should fill those jobs. A significant portion of the population can't afford to live on $10/hr. The result is you end up subsidizing their pay with food stamps and other welfare while the companies pocket the difference.
There are far more fast food and other minimum wage jobs than the type of people you claim should fill those jobs.
I think that depends on where you live. I went to high school in a suburban town with lots of other teenagers so there were very few jobs, and then in my college town the same thing happened. In a big city, where I live now, it's the opposite and there are tons of low-wage jobs but an adult couldn't afford to live on one. I still think that we need to make it possible to have low-impact jobs for people who want them; jobs that don't destroy people.
Your statement doesn't make sense. You acknowledge the supply of low-skill workers exceeds demand. That means an employer will have no trouble filling a position. Wages won't go up in that case.
Meanwhile if your skills aren’t worth that money you can’t get a job, so you can’t get work experience and better yourself. So it only hurts low-skilled poor people.
Repost: Idiots don't understand the consumer pays for the labor. So the price of the product is going to increase to compensate the increased cost of the same lackluster labor they would get if they were being paid $10 an hour. And it's going to be that much harder to be a fast food worker because the cost of the labor is overpriced by force of Government. This is why Unemployment, Proverty and Homelessness are directly connected to the increase in Minimum Wage. Minimum wage needs to be abolished ..
The idiots don't realize they're already being replaced by kiosks in store and call centers in the drive thru. They're literally driving themselves out of a job. But I guess unemployment is a better option when you're a piece of trash.
Nope, capitalism always trumps socialism. Robots will be introduced to replace the workers. When the commies in California protest, the tech bros that run CA will tell them to back the fuck of and no taxes on robotics because that impacts their stock options which CA needs to fund itself.
Fast food places like McDonalds are starting to use robots now that do everything faster, cleaner and more efficiently. It was said a few years ago that $15/hr would be the cutoff to where installing robots would become more profitable.
I rolled up to a rally’s here in Louisiana. They have an automated drive thru experience. The dang robot told me they didn’t have Dr Pepper, but if I would like pibb instead. It’s honestly pretty neat and if I was a business owner in a fast food restaurant I would definitely look into having this.
Bank of America touted paying a $20 minimum wage but what they didn’t tell you is they were eliminating the low paying positions and piling their responsibilities onto other people.
It’s going to happen with fast food too. There’s a reason why fast food companies have essentially stopped opening stores in California.
According to one article, sit down restaurants are not included in this assemble bill. Kinda screws over those places in terms of staffing and emplyee retention. Why would a person want to make $15.50 at Dennys when they could be making $20+ at Jack in the Box?
Put restaurants that serve real food* instead of garbage out of business
(* yes, many restaurants, especially chains, also serve garbage boil in bag factory bullshit instead of real food, but they are big enough to absorb the costs)
With $20/hour being mandated for Jack in the Box they’re all going to close or have robot workers, so all the fast food employees will be forced into the sit down restaurants if they even want to continue working in food service.
Its degined as muhbbillionaire eat the rich tropes... so just the big names have to pay more.... thats what they tried doing in Seattle. Hint: no more than 2 years later they were raising it again.
My thought exactly. Is he trying to demolish the restaurant industry? If you can work in a fast food kitchen and make 20 an hour why would anyone work in a restaurant kitchen? Seems like this would really tip the scales and cause a lot of consequences. Restaurants will be left with no staff, meanwhile fast food joints will raise prices.
My first IT job paid $12 an hour and required critical thinking. I can't believe what these stupid motherfuckers are making these days to barely operate a cash register or spatula.
In all my previous IT roles I've worked harder for less money than what I do now.
The difference now is that I've got to think strategically, and get it right as it impacts the livelihood of others. There is hard work there that is not always apparent or appreciated, and definitely not visible.
$20 to flip burgers in West Virginia is a steal. Same thing in California is obscene. If the company I work for is selling burgers for $34 instead of $6, workers are going to expect a bit of trickle down there
I tried this argument with a liberal and they retorted with some BS about a study they read saying the real minimum wage should be $26, based on some math, but theybwere starting the fight at $15 (backing the day). I told him the only minimum wage I would support is $0.
and that's why democrats shouldn't be in charge of anything. I could type it all out, but what would be the point.This type of economic policy is a just the first domino into making things worse.
Ugh, horrible. I know fast food is trash, but I'm trash and it's already too expensive. How are franchises supposed to stay open? The dollar menu is the $5 menu now.
It's so sad. I remember 79 cent and 89 cent tacos. Taco bell is barely affordable now, except their $5 boxes (that aren't always $5 depending on location) and the cheesy bean n rice.
I miss the 1980/1990's Taco Bell with the plentiful menu, portions, and reasonable prices. Up until the early 2000's you still could order a Cheeserito despite it being taken off the menu years ago. Try that now and all you'll receive is dumb looks.
Man I don't remember those but they sound glorious. I grew up eating taco bell in the early 90s, but my family was ordering. Later in the 2000s, my favorite was the shredded chicken smothered burrito and the original grill stuff burrito.
Tech Bro's will veto said tax and their bitch Dem's will obey. California lives of RSU's issued to tech bros. Tech bros make money off software and services for robots. CA makes a lot less of minimum wage taxes. CA wants robots, they are doing this to get automation the push it needs so they can tax at a higher rate for RSU's, it was around 18% last time I worked in the shithole California.
Reserve Stock Unit. Tech companies issue that to workers as golden handcuffs. Typically after 4 years they vest and you have access to them. So Facebook will give you 1,000 shares, after a set time frame they will be fully vested.
California has a high tax rate on stocks, I believe 18% rate. It is how California finances itself. So when the stock market crashes California goes bankrupt. Its hilarious listening to Dems talk about California being the 5th largest economy and then the stock market crashes and they are begging the US government for a hand out.
My conservative Commiefornia town had a Carl's Jr., Popeye's, and Burger King all on one corner close down last year. Only Taco Bell, Jack n the Box and McDonald's are clinging to life.
Go after industry that is already somewhat maligned and dominated by 'big evil' corps like mcdonalds that people can scoff at and say they deserve to go bankrupt.
After that is normalized, they will come for the rest of us.
Raising the minimum wage is a sign of a failing currency.
And leads to more inflation.
that's white supremacy dog whistle
Ironically, this bill will drastically raise the price of food which will effectively limit the amount of minorities eating at fast food restaurants.
He'll cap the prices next, then make it illegal for them to leave.
That's the Soviet way, comrade! We fix costs and set prices. This squeezes the dirty capitalist out of existence and permits the State to intervene on behalf of the proletariat.
....chicago's city owned grocery store enters the chat
Crime and hunger increase.
Automated Burger vending machines are coming!
Accelerating the Automation Revolution, AI, and robots taking the jobs. Next they will demand regulations that prevent this from happening
They’ll let it happen and tax the hell out of the companies per robot, to give to the noworker class
Right after that: "The economy is great!"
Thank you for choosing Carl's Jr. Fuck you, I'm eating!
"Whachoowant!?"
So obvious that NPC's will seal clap until the mass lay offs begin.
Idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a how-to
Even if you do leave and have any assets Cali still thinks they are entitled to taxes on them. They are legit trying to pass a bill that will tax you for 10 years if you leave the state and you have any measurable amount of money. That state is a fuckin joke.
Or make them accept food stamps.
They already do...
You can leave. All you need to do is apply and pay the fee. The party will find a new job for you as soon as possible.
So even this cloud has a silver lining?
Here comes $15 Big Mac. There goes fast food restaurants right down the Democrat's drain to Hell.
Yeah because after all, cheap garbage food is a god given right and a pillar of American culture
Fuck yeah!
Affordable beef at one point in time wasn't all filler, hormones and pesticides.
That time was 1966. But since the hippies have raped all the free love they can out of America, it’s time to finish her off.
I wouldn't know. I raised and cooked my own
Those are your subjective judgements. Americans should be free to purchase and consume whatever garbage they so desire.
So you want to force us to eat what you want? Nope. This is America & we can eat what we want.
Customers are not going to pay higher product prices. More unemployment coming.
MC Donalds and Burger King will have self checkout but smalltalk Businesses will be unable to pay the wages. So somehow, blackrock wins again, what a coincidence.
Incoming rule 3 nuke for antisemiteisum.
also a sign of too many illegals everywhere working for low keeping wages down. every california restaurant is like that… one white waiter, all staff are illegals working kitchen. illegals are like modern day indentured servants. all those businesses want more of them to keep costs down.
Also when an illegal gets injured, they just exit out the back door. No workers comp or insurance needed. I've seen this first hand.
They don't sue? I'm surprised some trial lawyer hasn't specialized in this.
There's certainly no risk of them getting in trouble over their "documentation status".
They are.
One day I was at this restaurant in suburban Chicago and it was late with nobody except me and a manager. The manager was an American-born Mexican who told me that the regional manager above him would threaten to withhold wages from the illegals working at the restaurants in the area.

They shouldn't be here.
Bears repeating:

And 20 dollar hamburgers
And just like that, tips are a thing of the past!
eating out is a thing of the past
But fast food workers should be able to afford a house!!
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell isn’t taught in propaganda school
And $1,000 iPhones for every family member.
How long until In-N-Out moves their headquarters to Texas?
I wish they would come to Florida
Why? It's overhyped mediocrity
Culver’s is way better. Buying your own beef from your local cattleman and having it butchered at a local meat locker is best.
Culver's is awesome, we live a block away from one. Summer is the perfect time to go for a walk and stop by for a mini mixer before heading home.
Culver's is very very good, we go there often <3 <3 <3
They do little fried "cheese curds" year-round, but for National Cheese Month they do a burger that includes a big "fried cheese patty" (that is in May, if I remember correctly.) So Much Win, I wish that was always on the menu <3 <3 <3
The curderburger is actually back right now I think.
Edit: Nope, October 2nd I guess.

> The real Curderburger is an ultimate Cheese Lover's burger, it really is about 50/50 cheese-to-meat ratio <3 <3 <3
5 guys is even better than those. Granted more expensive
5 guys is solid, but for the price I’d rather make my own burgers.
For the price you could make your own dozen burgers.
Definitely. With even better quality beef.
For the price you can hire 5 guys to make you 50 burgers.
Culver's gives you shitty thin litter patties. Lettuce accounts for more than the patties
So damn good and they give you a bunch of extra fries. I’ll need to cut off my arm to pay for it though.
I think the fry gimmick the only reason they are still around. Yeah, that burger with the greasy, soggy buns is expensive as hell. But look how many fries they give you!
Five guys used to be better but they're just not anymore. No where near with the money. 35$ for two okay burgers and a large fry to share? It better be damn good for that price and it just isn't.

Could a rowboat support you
Actually lost weight doing it. Didn't get the fries most days just the burger and I fast 16-18hrs each day so, can pretty much eat whatever and not gain.
We have a 5 guys here in Cambridge and it's delicious tho expensive.
I went for the first time. By fast food standards it was pretty good and didn't leave me feeling gross. The kids that worked there were very nice to deal with.

It is now but wasnt 2 decades ago
Florida is over, too many transplants and it's more expensive than most blue states now.
I just visited Florida for work. Didn't realize no one speaks English there.
Lol ok
Enjoy all the New Yorkers
I will
Keep them down there don't let them move halfway back because it's too hot for them.
Very true
Culvers is better, and my top fast food burger.
In-N-Out is good for the price.
How dare you!
Someone hasn't at at Culvers.
I moved from an area with in-n-out to an area with Culver's. In-n-out is Melania, Culver's is Dr Jill.
Those curtains have blinded you
Only Dr Jill would smother herself in mustard and call it a special order.
Braums is supreme.
Braums supremacy! For real though, their prices are beyond fair compared to what I pay at other chains.
They've already announced the In-N-Out HQ is leaving the state! But sadly not to Texas but surprisingly to Tennessee (due to tax reasons). Will be strange for them to not be based where their store are, but props for them standing up for themselves.
I moved to Texas from California and not long after that in n out moved into our area. I think they're expanding out of California as much as they can.
gonna have to disagree on the P Terrys

If true, then the jobs go unfilled, as supply of workers of that type exceeds demand. Ergo wages go up without legislation.

Yes, the title of this article should read:

Fast food is already insanely expensive in Commiefornia. This is so stupid.
Let it burn. $15 BigMac and let them keep voting dormer a $20 BigMac
The idiots don't realize they're already being replaced by kiosks in store and call centers in the drive thru. They're literally driving themselves out of a job. But I guess unemployment is a better option when you're a piece of trash.
We finally got our $20 an hr minimum wage! But we lost our jobs.
Nope, capitalism always trumps socialism. Robots will be introduced to replace the workers. When the commies in California protest, the tech bros that run CA will tell them to back the fuck of and no taxes on robotics because that impacts their stock options which CA needs to fund itself.
I have a feeling the cost will really passed onto the franchise owners. Essentially small business owners.
If I owned a McDonald’s I’d be selling and moving out of state asap.
Fast food places like McDonalds are starting to use robots now that do everything faster, cleaner and more efficiently. It was said a few years ago that $15/hr would be the cutoff to where installing robots would become more profitable.
I rolled up to a rally’s here in Louisiana. They have an automated drive thru experience. The dang robot told me they didn’t have Dr Pepper, but if I would like pibb instead. It’s honestly pretty neat and if I was a business owner in a fast food restaurant I would definitely look into having this.
But can you get a robot to beat a rowdy customer who storms the back because you ran out of chicken?
Can't storm the back when it's behind a locked door
Heck yeah!! I would need to look into getting something like Freddy to take care of those guests.

I’ve seen this happen in the banking industry.
Bank of America touted paying a $20 minimum wage but what they didn’t tell you is they were eliminating the low paying positions and piling their responsibilities onto other people.
It’s going to happen with fast food too. There’s a reason why fast food companies have essentially stopped opening stores in California.
i think it's likely their responsibilities will be eased by software ("ai"), assuming they aren't made redundant entirely
Why restaurants specifically and not just raise the State minimum wage? Weird.
Yup, also makes me wonder what criteria makes a restaurant "fast food." Is it just having a drive thru window? Is a food truck fast food?
According to one article, sit down restaurants are not included in this assemble bill. Kinda screws over those places in terms of staffing and emplyee retention. Why would a person want to make $15.50 at Dennys when they could be making $20+ at Jack in the Box?
(* yes, many restaurants, especially chains, also serve garbage boil in bag factory bullshit instead of real food, but they are big enough to absorb the costs)
Because Dennys you get tips and make way more
With $20/hour being mandated for Jack in the Box they’re all going to close or have robot workers, so all the fast food employees will be forced into the sit down restaurants if they even want to continue working in food service.
I wouldn't assume that Jack in the Box is hiring new staff at $20.
They get tips at Dennys
Its degined as muhbbillionaire eat the rich tropes... so just the big names have to pay more.... thats what they tried doing in Seattle. Hint: no more than 2 years later they were raising it again.
My thought exactly. Is he trying to demolish the restaurant industry? If you can work in a fast food kitchen and make 20 an hour why would anyone work in a restaurant kitchen? Seems like this would really tip the scales and cause a lot of consequences. Restaurants will be left with no staff, meanwhile fast food joints will raise prices.
USPS workers are now getting paid less than these fast food workers in CA. Gotta love that.
That will fix everything!
#1 combo now costs $89.95.
$20… to flip burgers… and they wonder why everything’s getting so expensive.
My first IT job paid $12 an hour and required critical thinking. I can't believe what these stupid motherfuckers are making these days to barely operate a cash register or spatula.

My first job as an entry level developer was $30K/yr in St Cloud MN in the mid 90s. I thought I was making bank.
Work a four hour shift with literally no responsibility and get $80. Insane.
They would probably complain about having to clean up after themselves too.
$20 to flip burgers in West Virginia is a steal. Same thing in California is obscene. If the company I work for is selling burgers for $34 instead of $6, workers are going to expect a bit of trickle down there
Come on Gavin, why half ass it? Why not make it $50, or $100? Hell, how about $1,000.
I tried this argument with a liberal and they retorted with some BS about a study they read saying the real minimum wage should be $26, based on some math, but theybwere starting the fight at $15 (backing the day). I told him the only minimum wage I would support is $0.
Simple solution. ROBOTS. Problem solved. Goodbye jobs
The minute retooling for robots is cheaper than hiring people, people will be replaced by robots. On the plus side, correct orders and no sass.
A robot can’t spit or jizz on your food…. Yet.
Don't be sad the robot repair man can still do that for you.
HURK
The government will tax the operational time of the robots to pay for the welfare checks of those whose jobs they replaced.
Lol. You are probably right
We should all do this. What a fantastic idea.
Inb4 Californians have to wait 15 minutes for burgers because they've not 'fast' anymore.
We already do! Mcdonalds is so slow now i have time to regret my life decision before i get my food.
You deserve every bit of it.
and that's why democrats shouldn't be in charge of anything. I could type it all out, but what would be the point.This type of economic policy is a just the first domino into making things worse.
Ugh, horrible. I know fast food is trash, but I'm trash and it's already too expensive. How are franchises supposed to stay open? The dollar menu is the $5 menu now.
I'm old enough to remember when Taco Bell bean burritos were massive and cost $.063 with tax.
It's so sad. I remember 79 cent and 89 cent tacos. Taco bell is barely affordable now, except their $5 boxes (that aren't always $5 depending on location) and the cheesy bean n rice.
They actually had a song in a commercial, “79, 89…..99!”
Haha I don't remember that, but it's great. The scary thing is... One day we might be reminiscing about today's prices :(
I miss the 1980/1990's Taco Bell with the plentiful menu, portions, and reasonable prices. Up until the early 2000's you still could order a Cheeserito despite it being taken off the menu years ago. Try that now and all you'll receive is dumb looks.
Do you remember the $.29 or $.39 Fiesta Burritos?
How about old Wendy's that had the dope free salad bar with all sorts of shit. Back when it was quality meat also
Man I don't remember those but they sound glorious. I grew up eating taco bell in the early 90s, but my family was ordering. Later in the 2000s, my favorite was the shredded chicken smothered burrito and the original grill stuff burrito.

How long until all fast food restaurants are automated with robots OR shut down in California?
California probably has an automation tax already written up and ready to be brought to the floor when the time is right.
Tech Bro's will veto said tax and their bitch Dem's will obey. California lives of RSU's issued to tech bros. Tech bros make money off software and services for robots. CA makes a lot less of minimum wage taxes. CA wants robots, they are doing this to get automation the push it needs so they can tax at a higher rate for RSU's, it was around 18% last time I worked in the shithole California.
Sounds like you have considerably more insight into this than I do. Interesting. What is an RSU?
Reserve Stock Unit. Tech companies issue that to workers as golden handcuffs. Typically after 4 years they vest and you have access to them. So Facebook will give you 1,000 shares, after a set time frame they will be fully vested.
California has a high tax rate on stocks, I believe 18% rate. It is how California finances itself. So when the stock market crashes California goes bankrupt. Its hilarious listening to Dems talk about California being the 5th largest economy and then the stock market crashes and they are begging the US government for a hand out.
I see. Heard of the concept, at least for CEOs, never the name. Golden handcuffs indeed.
A Nacho Belle Grande and a Chalupa is now almost $15! Get ready for $40 Big Macs.
Sounds like a fat Mexican chick
Mamásita!
¡Ay, no es bueno!
Goodbye breakfast burritos.
Now I'm really glad I left.
This will coerce restaurants to replace humans with automation.
Golly, I wonder if this has anything to do with Big Tech's support of Newsom?
Naaaah!
But I thought $15/hr was gonna solve all of their problems???
How many fast food joints are going to close in Cali?
My conservative Commiefornia town had a Carl's Jr., Popeye's, and Burger King all on one corner close down last year. Only Taco Bell, Jack n the Box and McDonald's are clinging to life.

But he's going to be running for president that he should totally he's totally going to win a whole
Also they left a loophole in the law,. It doesn't apply if the site makes and sells their own bread. McDs brand bread incoming...
Loophole probably just for the libs fav Panara
Learn to cook
This will kill cheap fast food...
Or make it more automata...
BRING IN THE ROBOTS!
Good luck with your $50 big macs
How do you tax the poor? You increase the cost of the one thing you know they have to buy.
And just like that they all left.
Raising the minimum wage would hardly be news, but why fast food specifically?
Same strategy as everything.
Go after industry that is already somewhat maligned and dominated by 'big evil' corps like mcdonalds that people can scoff at and say they deserve to go bankrupt.
After that is normalized, they will come for the rest of us.
To tax low income families who are the majority who eat this trash
Just like Seattle. How'd that work out? Organizing labor never works. Straight communism. Idiots. Gruesome Newsome for president.
At least it will be healthier without fast food everywhere. Or we'll have sit down McDonald's
Four things are going to start happening now:
Welcome to corporatism where there's only two or three mega corporation options for goods and services.
Or they'll classify themselves as 'slow food chains' and make you wait 10mins to get what used to take 30seconds.
Checkmate Newsome scum!
I like the way you think.
So IOW...only fattys are gonna pay $12 for a $1.99 cheeseburger from this point forward.
So Governor Newsom signs law implementing touchscreen menus at fast food restaurants?
This might as well read, "Gavin Newsom signs law forcing poor people to pay lobster prices for Big Macs".
