Home of the $6+ carton of eggs. Most expensive eggs in the world - California’s.
Know why?
It’s because California layers get plush new digs to lay their eggs in. Kid you not.
That’s the possible impact, but haven’t seen it at the grocery stores yet...they went up a bit, but I haven’t seen $6 a dozen.
Btw, yes, I voted against that lunacy as well...sigh.
Oh well,
Quit voting for dems.
The stop work party
Live by Liberalism, Die by Liberalism.
Didn’t Moonbeam onetime say that what was needed was not more jobs, but more welfare?
Emreyville, Moraga and San Leandro are all doing the Happy Dance. F&$# Berkeley.
That’s why we have chickens at my house
Worker Danielle Schlamp has not received a check since the wage increase as her employer went out of business.
Democrats want to eliminate entry-level jobs so people stay on welfare.
Last week at our local Kroger in Houston suburbs eggs sold under the brand of “Happy Chicken” were $3.96 a dozen. Since I don’t really care whether the chickens who laid the eggs we were going to consume are happy or not, we bought the store brand for $1.93 a dozen. Grandson commented that if some chickens laying the eggs are not happy with their primary job responsibility, maybe they should just go across the road and find another job.
Oakland. A Marxist shithole that should be nuked from space. Only way to make sure none of them escape to poison another city.
It was passed by 82 percent of all voters in California. They have at least 30 percent of Conservatives in California so a number of Conservatives voted for this too. Orange County probably the most conservative in the state.
As the wages increases, the employer pays more Social Security tax, Medicare Tax, workmans comp, unemployment...
The union workers who receive a multiple of the minimum rate; they will now be big spenders at the local restaurants!!!
What will Black people do when all the businesses close or move.
It's just not fair, government ought to do something about these businesses acting this way.
We keep hens too. The store could ask $100 a carton and we would still pay $0.
“The union workers who receive a multiple of the minimum rate...”
Yep. I’ve been saying for awhile that is the REAL driving factor with the minimum wage thing.
You don’t pay $0? Don’t you feed these chickens and incur some overhead?
I heard of free range...but Ybor is very free...
I think this was just the Oakland voters, which makes since because Oakland does not have the best demographics. Of course the Liberals will never admit the law is the problem; they will blame it on the evil, rich and mean spirited business owners not wanting to pay a “living wageâ€
There was a Chinatown just south of Downtown Houston. The last vestiges of it died about 5 to 10 years ago and the state took down the highway sign. It had been Houston’s Chinatown, but it was driven out by the rampant Democrat-inspired crime that made Houston a very dangerous city. Things got better, of course, after Republicans started taking power, and putting felons in jail. Concealed Carry was approved about then too.
But the Chinatown never came back - instead it moved West, still mostly in the city, but far away from “the locals”, and now it is absolutely HUGE and unlike San Francisco and NY, you can actually park there. I suspect that pretty much everyone made out well in the end.
We’ll see what happens with this “living wage” crap. Oakland had a nice Chinatown, but I suspect its days are numbered. San Francisco will shrink, but still get the tourists. The REAL QUESTION is whether any city out there can figure out what a GOLD MINE awaits them if they DO NOT get into this living wage crap and otherwise harassing businesses. I am not optimistic though.
