There are many businesses in NYC that start college graduates out at $15 an hour. This will have a cascading effect on all businesses.
.... Looks like NY State is about to experience a predictable corresponding rise in Unemployment and inflation. If it wasn't so serious this would be laughable. Unfortunately ... Liberals do not have the capacity to understand the concept Cause and Effect and keep making the same mistakes over and over.
.... By the same token .... the GOPe should know better because they do understand these things but go along with it anyway ... then turn around and complain when they are blamed when the predicted outcome does happen.
People that can afford to pay $20 for a hamburger.. voted for it..
or are veggans..
Cannot believe the Gov. of NY is happy to admit his State is so FUBAR that residents need $15 per hour to survive
Why just fast food workers? That’s discriminatory.
There will be an improvement in the traffic jams in front our our local Wendy’s. Ditto for the jerks that pull out into traffic from Burger King.
Seriously, at $15 an hour, there won’t be a fast food outlet in the rural county I live in. Not a serious loss (except to the employees) in my opinion.
Us earners need a raise to pay for fast-food food.
Sounds unconstitutional
Government forcing unequal conditions for one job/industry over another?
Meanwhile, New York State has been running commercials in Colorado saying NY was “business friendly”. Yeah. Right.
Cuomo and the rest of these pikers make me sick. These people can’t make it on $15/hour. What’s wrong with $75/hour?
What do you expect out of a Governor who rammed through a law mandating no more than “7 bullets in a clip” because “no one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer!”
Restaurants will cut back on the number of employees...the remaining will work harder.
They will automate some jobs away
They will raise prices while simultaneously imposing a NO TIPS rule... thus patrons pay the same...just no tips to employees
I heart NY ... lol
As long as it is a state doing this I have no problem. The Federal minimum is the one that bothers me more.
More people are leaving NY than any other state. This will only accelerate the trend. Cuomo is a pandering loser who better get used to being governor. He will never leave the State.
Sounds like a loan shark credit commercial: "Get the credit you deserve"
Also uses another blanket meme that "Every..." is deserving of something whether they are or aren't.
The old joke is fulfilled:
A man was interviewing for a job and the owner of the business decided to give him a chance. As he was standing up to go, the man asked, "What does it pay?" The owner relied, "I'll pay you what you're worth." The man responded, "I can't live on that."
We are there
I am moving to NY and becoming a kiosk salesman
Time to buy franchiese in Danbury, Greenwich, Fort Lee, pittsfield and some other places I don’t ever go any more.
