It should match on some level. 25-26/hr isnt much no offense and it doesn’t make anything more expensive that’s never been a thing. Cost of living has been going up astronomically for decades with pay rate only moving recently but not at a consistent rate at all to match the cost if living. 20/hr was a lot in the 80s for a family of 4 owning a house and going on vacations comfortably. There were minimum wage jobs back then that could afford you a house. Today thats very different. Also most educated qualified people in California are making 6 figures.

      If the government didn't make it so damn hard to start a business someone else would open up and force their prices down in competition. However, since it's always infinitely more expensive these days the lowest market cost is whatever the floor is after regulations factor in. Prices can't go below a certain point due to the cost of regulations and high taxes.

      As someone who managed 55 employees at a McDonalds at 19 then left for a lower hourly wage to start a first year apprenticeship I say bring it on. You know why? my job is not in ANY WAY at risk to the people you are talking about.
      As a manager at McDonald's I had to talk to adults TWICE MY AGE about how badly they stink. That was awkward, here's a hack to start that conversation with a 40 year old man when you are 16 years old if you ever need to.
      Start by asking them if they washed their uniform before work that day, they will of course look down to see if it is dirty and say "why, is it dirty" which it isn't of course that's not the issue it's the fact an adult doesn't know they need to put on deodorant before work so you say "no it just smells a bit like BO" then they say "oh ya, I forgot to put on deodorant today" then you say "ya, it's been a few times before today as well, just make sure you are putting it on"
      I left McDonald's making over 20 an hour at 19 years old to start an electrical apprentice ship for less money per hour. I worked a 10-4 shift but had to travel on one of the days off back up to work so it was more like 11-3. 132 hours of work per every two weeks in the elements from -33C to +35C in northern Alberta 1200 km away from home. Made 100k as a first year electrician with my LOA (living out allowance)
      Now the reason why I say in all seriousness without any feeling of a a threat at any job of a person who says this is because the ADULTS WHO MAKE MINIMUM WAGE are the lazy, clueless, no initiative, no drive people who want to work an easy, comfortable (heated and air conditioned buildings) only 8 hours a day 40 hours a week, 5 minute drive from their front door job.
      They pose literally ZERO threat to our jobs because NOTHING WAS STOPPING YOU FROM DOING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. The reason why I made 100k dollars a year as a 19 year old first year electrician is because you didn't want to work that much, that far from home, in those working conditions.
      Honestly it's such a cute threat that it would make me chuckle if not for the fact such a large portion of the population is that clueless to think they are being held back.
      Go work 1200 km away from you bed and family for 66+ hours per week and you can buy 7 acres with a house and barn in your mid twenties too.
      Now I joined the privileged folks and only work 40 hours a week but I was working more hours a year from 14-18 than my own father while being top 3 in my class so I burnt out earlier than most people but I got my property before Trudeau pumped up the housing in my country with the millions of immigrants he brought in so it worked out well for me.
      Nothing will get cheaper it's always better to grind now while you're younger than it is to wait for things to get better.
      If anyone who is actually willing to work long hours in the hot and cold wants tips on getting a good paying job feel free to ask I'm more than willing to help, no adult should be working a minimum wage job if you're not content.

      So let’s see if we can figure this out. Rent in NYC, food cost increases, business tax increases, licensing increases, sanitation cost increases, wage increases, then factor in such cost as utilities, maintenance and kicking up to corporate by the franchisee, I m sure the franchisee is making millions. While the beef is with McDonalds the franchisee is the one getting squeezed and will eventually fold up the tent.

    Now I respect the hard working workers for the minimum wage in every fast food restaurants, but increasing the wage to 20 dollars will bring less customers to the restaurant and if the wage were less than 20 dollars, then they'd be more customers coming to buy because they would rather buy food for less or cheap price than rather saying they're quite expensive to take.

      In cali inflation is so bad they only increased wages to keep peoplle paycheck to paycheck, if they didnt do this people would leave the state or go homeless... then there would be no workers at all because theyd all be too poor to show up to work. You think the elites would raise min wage unless its absolutely necessary? Even 20 hour isnt even close to inflation ratio there. It's pretty much like they are still getting $10 an hour 10 years ago, its just the new poor person wage. Thats what inflation does.. and inflation began as soon as Biden became president, so anyone blaming this increase on anything is a fool, it all stems from inflation. Most jobs our monopolistically controlled now adays and wages are fixed unless you start your own business and obviously thats not realistic for the majority of people, and if they are stuck on pay check to pay check wages - or stuck trying to pay off 100k student debt and cost of living, ect, $20 an hour for todays scam inflation prices is still just pay chheck to paycheck poor person wage and they wont be able to save a dime - thus not giving them any savings to take shots at starting a business with. Cali is especially screwed up which is why $20/hour is just for that state... government sometimes needs to step in and force companies to be less greedy so the society doesnt crumble, left to their own devices theyd have us all be slaves.
