In COMPLETELY PREDICTABLE Outcome, Shake Shack Closing Several CA Locations Following Minimum Wage Hike

 Everyone with two brain cells to rub together knew this was going to happen. Which is why California Democrats went ahead and did it. Between the lot of them, there aren't two brain cells to rub together.

I tried to tell the liberals I know, but they are dumb, the democrat party is a cult, and they don’t really understand the basic things that an average (non-dem raised) third grade student knows. They are dangerously idiots, which makes them far more dangerous.

The Coming Minimum-Wage Tsunami Will Wash Away Millions Of Minority Jobs | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

One of the most vexing economic issues today is the minimum wage. For many, the failure to raise the minimum wage to $15 or higher is a sign of our nation's

How is this not obvious to everyone?

"The study by the American Action Forum, a nonpartisan think tank led by former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin, looked at minimum-wage hikes scheduled to take effect in the coming years in 14 states and the nation's capital and found they will "cost millions of jobs across the country and each lost job only leads to total wage earnings rising by a few thousand dollars."

So once again, "compassion" is the opposite of what the left believes it to be.
