cool. They deal with a lot of shit. And you left out the part where it starts at $22.50 and goes up each year.
-
Yeah, real cool. Like everywhere else rats have done this, people will lose their jobs.
Brilliant thinking dfc. Way to learn absolutely nothing from your own party's history.

So it's ok because it doesn't immediately go to $30 an hour but it's passed in over a few years? Sounds like that Oakland $50 an hour wage is right up your alley.
Might want to do some critical thinking as to the cost drivers of why it's so expensive to live in CA and what some real solutions would look like.

@DucksFC starts begging for money to move to LA for $22/hr.

He's the only person moving INTO Los Angeles

Now wait a second…your guys argument is that companies can withstand tariffs they just don’t want to give up their profit margins. Then why can’t they pay their employees more so they can make a living wage? Which way is it??
-
They don't want to give up their profit margins to pay employees either.

Reading Spaz’s post should remind everyone that we are dealing with here.
Basic economics eludes him, yet he thought he was making a brilliant point.

Oh boy here we go. EverettChris is here! Everybody fart and clear their brains!

I mean the differences are pretty obvious. If you import you have options and ability to negotiate down the supply chain. Minimum wage increases just mean less hours for workers.
-
Why not negotiate down the supply chain anyway? In either scenario? Wouldnt companies have done that already? You’re very vague why that’s applicable in the tariff scenario.
-
Inflection points create leverage. Suppliers know you aren’t leaving them for 1% cost savings on a random Tuesday in October. They do fear that you will leave them over a 10% change.
-
Tariffs and minimum wage are two different things. Minimum wage laws cut employment and end businesses but as long as soccerduck and buckyduck can insult some Maga its all good
What would Jesus say
-
Taxes, regulations and wage laws are unavoidable things for business. Tariffs are a choice.
-
$22 an hour there buys a nice box on skid row to live in. So basically an upgrade for @Sledog
-
GTFOH Bob. If you think giants like Amazon and Walmart haven’t flexed their muscle and negotiated the best deal on Supply Chain yet.
I’m beginning to think there is no company you own and you read this on an Apple News article again.

DuckyCuck wants a raise at the gas pump.

Ive been down the tariff road before from both perspectives. We import WIP’s from Korea and finish them in the US and then send them all over the world. Margins are better for US customers than in Europe where we pay for the tariffs in order to participate in their market. It’s just how it works. I agree the textbooks don’t think it happens that way.
-
How did I leave it out?
-
Oh you gals

You have to pass increases on to consumers. The owners can't absorb them.
This is basic stuff. Profit margins are too thin in hospitality and restaurants. They go out of business when people like democrat congressmen who have no idea what P&L means nor how to calculate them, artificially raise prices with simple irresponsible legislation. None of the idiots in CA who voted for this have ever run a successful business. Doubling and in some cases tripling salaries when those positions of employment are not worth that amount, is about the dumbest fucking thing one can do which is precisely why it is virtually always democrats who do it.
There is zero defense of this. A living wage is the responsibility of the individual. Just because one doesn't prepare themselves for life after 18 doesn't mean everyone else has to pay for it.
The funny part of this whole thing in CA? The rats have lost the working class and they think this is how to get them back. They do this for votes. The 1000's who will be laid off because of this ain't voting for democrats. The rats are literally their own worst enemy.

Tariffs which drive up costs for Americans are bad. Wage controls which drive up costs for Americans are good. When I was at Oregon they actually had a pretty good economic program (except for all the Keynesians). Soccer duck apparently swallowed the current discredited Marxist labor theory of value and here we are.
-
I was probably at Oregon the same time as you, so none of that was a thing yet. You thought you had something, though.
-
This is the other part that the dumb commies aren't thinking about here. The minimum wage disproportionately hits hospitality and small business and those businesses will lay off and automate. See every McDonalds now having kiosks to order and only one person at the counter for the old people who can't figure it out.
-
Who you callin' old?
