That is all the responsibility of Santa Joe, right?

The capitalism devil's cleverest trick is making people think he doesn't exist.

If there is a capitalism devil it is the Government,
Ask Gavin Newsome who just admitted the pending raise in minimum wages for state health care workers
will cost 4 Billion Dollars MORE than advertised. . Lawmakers are scrambling to delay the increase set for next week.

The Wall Street Journal summed it all up nicely:

When government raises wages above what the market commands, employers will increase prices and reduce labor.
California, QED.

[jmmengel]

That

Well. There is always that.

Yeah, uh huh.
The California legislation does nothing positive for any Californian. Health care costs will rise, healthcare workers will lose jobs and everyone will now  be left to fill a soon to be 45 billion dollar budget deficit.
They await your thoughts and prayers I am sure.

Fuck the WSJ Opinion fish wrap

It is the CORPORATE GREEDFLATION, stupid!


A number of big retailers in recent weeks, including Target and Walmart, have lowered their prices as they strive to pull consumers into stores and online to spend more freely on both essential purchases such as food and more discretionary purchases like new clothes, decorative items for the home, arts and crafts or hobby kits.

Retailers are feeling jittery after they jacked up prices as inflation spiked in recent years.But now, households are not shopping like they used to, and high prices are forcing Americans to choose between wants and needs. In the game of chicken between stores and shoppers, it is the stores that finally appear to be yielding.

CAPITALISM!

What that has to with California setting wage levels is what?  Especially since the Government does not have the money.

[OliveOil]

When government raises wages above what the market commands, employers will increase prices and reduce labor.
California, QED.

You should read Keynes. 

[jmmengel]

California, QED.

You should read Keynes.

About what?
Keynes never would have endorsed raising a minimum wage under current California economic conditions.
Gavin Newsome was warned by most economists not to raise healthcare minimum wages in California, but he did.
Now he relunctally admits that was a mistake.
So what to do? Repeal the legislation or cut moneybfrom other state programs? Or raise taxes on the rich?
Reading Keynes would result in the fact Keynes would have no solution.

That last bit was the considered opinion of someone with the privileged perspective only found by drowning in ones own urine somewhere in the pits of Florida.

One never knows if it is the disease or drugs talking through you, Jimmy. Maybe a little of both?

We would all likely know more if your state had a healthcare system

The rich would benefit greatly by doubling or tripling their contribution to state tax revenue so more money can be used for the public good. That is just basic economics.

If a couple of jurors are nearly as fucking stupid as the putrid defendant, trump stands a reasonable chance of skating on some felonies in this case.

Trump expects to lose.

Mother Teresa could not beat these charges, Trump said to a gaggle of reporters in the hallway. These charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged.
