    I don’t live in California,, but when prices went up after Covid, I started cooking more at home. Groceries are not cheap by no means, but a lot better than eating out.

      No, not really. For some people, it is actually cheaper to eat out. If you value your time with your family, you will see that it is cheaper to eat out. If your focus is on bringing in more money to your house and nothing else, you will realize that eating out is best for you

    The problem is some people don't understand the difference between minimum wage and living wage. They're not the same. A living wage pays for all your living expenses like housing, bills, transportation, and food. You shouldn't be making a living wage just by flipping burgers. Skilled and educated Americans who went to college with a degree is making barely enough to support themselves living, while these politicians wanting to match minimum wage to living wage. It makes no sense right? Why should people work so hard to get a degree with huge school loan to pay off, while a non skilled worker can make almost as much?

    Years of being in the service industry both FOH and BOH taught me the value of the experience and I rarely go out now. Paying $20, pre-tip, taxes and variable fees not included, for a simple sandwich is a situation where that math don't math unless you are getting something *super special* on the side. I won't even order take out from a restaurant that only uses one of the pick-up apps because they rob the restaurant with brutal fees via the app, regardless of whether the order is pickup or delivery - sadly that's a loss/loss for the restaurant but why should I pay more for less? I'll skip the walk to a restaurant, swing past the store and make it myself for a FRACTION of the cost and no snarky driver who cannot locate a basic address who I have to tip...and for what?
    Additionally, those delivery drivers can be a plague on restaurant streets that are high traffic streets. Just try navigating a street that is a bus route and also has a line of restaurants. If the restaurants are open, the drivers have no issue making the street a parking lot, meanwhile we drive slowly past empty restaurants with stacks of to-go boxes.
    People, pick your poison.

      I live on a block with a major pizza chain and two ghost kitchens and the plague of delivery drivers is an absolute nightmare. They clog the block with their cars, double park in the lanes creating traffic jams, spit and urinate all over the sidewalk and in doorways, and are an all round nuisance. You don't even want to know how they handle the customers food. I see them pee on a tree, then go grab the food/pizza, set it on the dirty sidewalk or street while they get their phone/keys and then leave. It's disgusting.

    Basic economics.

This increase in minimum wage will only hurt the people who are making minimum wage. Decrease the cost of living, don't increase the minimum bottom line of poverty. That way the ones on minimum wage don't have to face firing, increase cost of goods, and a very harsh hiring market.

      Banning lobbying in America is about as realistic as confiscating existing guns from everyone and banning arms possession.

    Do not understand a $20 minimum wage for non skilled workers. So skilled workers have to go up. How much should an educated worker earn compared to an uneducated worker.

      Minimum probably somewhere like 27 an hour starting got to make it worth their time otherwise you don't deserve to be a business

    There's millions of people streaming across the border who think a dollar an hour is good money. This law will give a leg up to the businesses which use illegal labor and pay them in cash. A Mexican friend of mine had a remodeling business in San Francisco. He had three employees on the books and about 50 working. "I don't hire no gringos and I don't hire no damn pochos," he said. He's not prejudiced, he just knows where the good workers come from.

      No he's also part of the fucking problem if you're too poor to actually pay people a livable way you ain't good enough to run a business

      Your buddy is a racist because he's exploiting those people. Hiring them under tha table shows he's greedy and only cares about money. He should be ashamed of himself. You should stop haging out with him.

      @kixigovak sounds like he’s prejudiced to me, so who are these good workers he’s talking about and what color are they? Bullshit.

    They small businesses need to have kids, they will keep it in family. That’s how my parents did. Went to college because we could afford to, now I don’t have to wash dishes, peel shrimp or cut vegetables.

      Maybe we could look into why so many people are paying money for an education that qualifies them for fast food employment and nothing more. Yeah the education system isn't about employment it's all about indoctrination. Your a commie now and you don't even know it. Minimum wage is for beginners , not for the skilled trained or educated. The system failed you intentionally to make you dependent on governments for your survival. You are screwed because the free ride won't last for long.

    The workers get a higher wage then fall into a higher tax bracket. Zero gain.
