So why do they do it? Well, the Democrat/Communist Party -- the only functioning party in California -- has "good intentions." There is always -- always -- a "noble goal" assigned to their actions. The fact that their actions hurt people and cause widespread "unintended" and "unforeseen" suffering is irrelevant to The Cause.
When the fast food joints become automated, I would expect to see their ridicules prices drop significantly.
"They would set hourly wages of up to $22 for fast food workers starting next year and can increase them annually by the same rate as the consumer-price index, up to a maximum of 3.5%."
And no citizenship or I-5 requirements, and probably no income tax withholding enforcement on illegals. Same goes for "gig economy" -- only citizens blocked from having those kinds of jobs.
The last time I was in a fast food slop joint there was not a 16 year old in sight. Most appeared to be in their mid 20s to 60+ years old.
“The all powerful state also has ways to force you to buy as many burgers, at whatever price, the state decides you need.”
But there are other sides to this. By handling all the different fast food businesses the same way the state is expecting the businesses to go along and lay off their employees with either good or time in the job as a culling outlook. It’s been mentioned that the positions within this vocation that people who don’t have skills or aren’t educated enough to fill the slots are being punished. They aren’t, they are being replaced.
What type of persons ready made for the job are entering the state...illegals. Assembly line employment so the state can get a return on their gifts. And with the price of fruit picking at under $13 an hours, they will have applicants coming out of their ears and a steady supply if the ones hired get caught or fired. And another point is that if you don’t want to pay the price for the $10 burger, then you won’t be wasting fossil fuels or electricity getting there. Less pollution to accommodate their ecology donors.
And all this adds up to is voters that are feeling a bond with the liberals and will flock to the polls even while the sheep are being sheered. This is why they want under educated voters so they can feel a responsibility to pay back this generous offer of making burgers for $22 an hour. Course in time they will be replaced by machines, but they don’t look that far in advance. Eating and having a roof over your head is a today thing.

In and Out should pack up and bail. Tommy Burgers died a horrible death in the late 80s.
i was going to say that even the Californicators in Sacramento wouldn’t dare put McD’s out of business (or double their already=supersized prices)
since so many of their core constituency (outside of the graveyard) are McD addicts
also, who’d get rid of all the roadkill?
“They would set hourly wages of up to $22 for fast food workers starting next year and can increase them annually by the same rate as the consumer-price index, up to a maximum of 3.5%.”
Leftism is a serious mental disorder.
no, the new drought doesnt cause dementia
Californicator political hacks have been commies and dementos for many years
almost zero infrastructure building...almost none... for 50 years... ever since Governor Jerry (Edmund G., Jr.) Brown stopped it
ironically, the public voted for Jerry because they figured he’d be like his Daddy (Governor Edmund G, Senior). Senior made his reputation, was famous for building needed infrastructure of all kinds (and with surprisingly little corruption or graft, at least not visibly)
that state’s population has tripled,..without hardly any new water supply, highways, power plants, electrical distribution grid, etc.
so, droughts and power outages and fires have become the norm in the once-golden, now-ashen state of Californication
its been totally phuqued over by its leftist political hacks (and a totally worthless, neutered, almost invisible GOP)
beware, the same destruction-by-government is coming your way
California and nobody voted for that.

In California votes are irrelevant, except when needed to stuff ballot boxes.

It’s supposed to be fiction not a how-to manual.
no need for 10 workers when 2 can oversee the bots
The Union’s also want the dues that the fast food workers pay. Fast food workers wi not benefit from so much as a dime on this.
Looking through the glass cubby door, the diner chose what looked good. Then, using a coin slot, you paid for that item and took it out for table or take-out. After you did that, the cubby was refilled by a human kitchen worker for the next customer. The restaurants were very successful during the depression because the clientele bought items not meals, which meant that it was not embarrassing when money was tight. For the chain it worked because they frequently sold a meal at a higher price because each item was individually costed. According to the records, their most popular items were low cost mac&cheese, baked beans, buns, fish cakes and coffee, most in the 25-75¢ range.
One wonders if this may be where Disneyland got the idea for their 'A' to 'E' ride tickets because at these stores you could buy lettered tokens at a cashier rather than feeding many nickels at the coin slot. I have vague memories of being impressed when, as a child, eating at one of these on a NYCity visit. The chain ran from 1902 to 1991 but its heyday was the Depression to the 1950s.
Carl’s Jr already moved their headquarters OUT of Calif-—a couple of years ago. Just vanished from Carpenteria...
When will John Galt show himself???
Walk into a McDonald's today, or any fast food place, and you'd be hard-pressed to find more than 3-4 employees at a time. They're so understaffed that if someone calls in sick, they can't open.
And many of them shut down their dining rooms during Covid and never bothered to open them back up. Drive-thru only.
QSR is going to the drive-thru/window pickup/Doordash format, with limited seating and fewer employees.
Not only nothing new (other than the eternal bullet train) but CA has been, I believe, a leader in REMOVING dams and other structures in the name of "natural water flow". Of course the Sierra Club and their fellow travelers have been active with the EPA, Endangered Species and other FedGov & Courts in accomplishing those heart warming tasks for Mother Gaia!
Wonder how many Californian SUBJECTS look at the dustbowl that was once a reservoir and regretted?
