Newsome is such a clown, so many employees will be fired...so stupid and predictable
Not only Newscum but the entire Democratic party politicians and their supperters and voters.
... evil newsome....
Nah. /
Is it new-scum or the brain dead bag licking demokkkrat voters with their single digit iq's that are destroying commie-fornia? The 'vote blue no matter who' idiots in commie-fornia would vote for a garden gnome if it had a demokkkrat party membership. And it is reflected on the blue run third world shitholes they laughingly call "communities". MMT-Magic Money Tree economics of these blue asshats is reflected in the massive debt that will eventually have to be repaid. Good luck with that.
The sky is falling!
Newsome's going to raise the price of rent, gas, electricity, cost of living throughout California.
It's shamefull A hash brown at Mcdonalds is $4 smh who can afford this
you get a dozen for $4 at the grocery store. may be this will force some people to eat breaskfast at home.

in cali if you steal anything under 900$ you are fine.... @@kanank13
Ever since I actually learned to cook I don't even want that shit anymore. Only if it's an emergency and it's the only thing around.
And to think, the price will have to go up even more. probably going to be $4.75 here in a few months.
Less people are going to eat fast food now!
Last night was our last time!
@@fleabag2mr.151 Yes, same here. I started cooking at home during Covid. And, I found three magic words to solve these problems: Google Copycat Recipes. POOF -- solved.
Fast food restaurants were places for kids to start off their work experience, not for adults to work and live off of. Here comes your $20 happy meals.
@@omi_godI stopped reading your dumb comment after you said "fast food is not a restaurant."
@@omi_god Minimum wage was never supposed to be a living wage. Unskilled, uneducated people don't deserve $20 an hour.

I am so glad I left that place. I'll miss it, sure. But I won't miss struggling to just be alive, especially as I retire.
The restaurants won't see 1 penny more from me. I won't go. I'll go elsewhere.

@@cassady7169well, intention is one thing and improvisation is another.
Get ready for lay offs
And get ready for food prices to go up as well 😅
Get ready for the economy to crash when people stop buying 😂😂😂
Now one worker will be doing the job of 3 or more workers. Hope that $3 increase is worth it!
These are NOT $20 or even $15 an hour jobs. These are entry level jobs.
15 is minimumwage
These are "entry level" jobs lmao. its the majority of jobs out there bud.
@@guillermollamas7899wtf are you smoking. This is definitely not the “majority” of jobs out there. It’s not even the majority of service jobs.
there arent enough human bodies to fill these "entry level jobs" so wages go up naturally. wages going up naturally is healthy but "minimum wage" is not
Fast food jobs were NEVER meant to be able to survive off of. It was a source of cheap TEMPORARY labor. It has simple job tasks, manual labor and high turnover rate as people MOVED ON and got BETTER jobs, went back to school, etc.
Highest unemployment in the country, tells you everything you need to know.
Businesses in California have to pay higher taxes, and now they have to pay a minimum wage of $20/hr.
Mom and pop stores will have to cut their work force, or cut the number of workers , to stay alive. Many of these businesses will have to go more into automation to stay in business.
Many businesses will have to leave the mainland of America, and go to places such as South America to compete with China.
Or they will have to hire more cheap labor, because as the wealthy Democrap party knows , liberal Americans in California don't want those jobs. It is a sure win for the ultra-wealthy Democrap party.
@@rickzalman4136 CA is a cesspool ran by leftist extremists.
This will reduce their customer base and force them to automate.
@@omi_god They are starting to use Ai for order taking at some fast food places. The automation will increase due to it being cheaper and cheaper than human employees over time.
I think this is a ploy to get Californians to eat less fast food, therefore helping to ease the strain on the healthcare system due to diet induced heart disease.
Cleaner diet, less fast food for a better health. Save money.
That's the upside...maybe people will pack lunches instead.
Nonetheless, this act is disgusting!
Fast food chains are meant to be worked by highschool students and retired seniors.
True or early college students
someone going from $16 to$20 an hour will net an additional $3.10 an hour due to having more of their income in a higher tax bracket. The state and feds keep on winning.
The state will need it, to pay the unemployment for the one that got laid off due to $20 wages.
Yep, it is basically an additional tax to the poor people and the middle class families, which are the majority of fast food customers.
i cant justify paying my latino's $20 to flip burgers and still get my order wrong !

Higher menu prices, less staff, more automation, even worse customer service. Thank you galaxy brain Democrats.
Minimum wage has been the same price for the last 20 years. It's ridiculous it hasn't been raised. These companies have been seeing record profits but still keep their prices sky high. The money isn't going to the people that actually make the food or the people who ship to these businesses. It goes directly to the top, the CEO's and shareholders, as if they don't already have enough money.

@@omi_god used camera gear industry, 'last year's' trend clothing industry, 'last season' electronics both used and old new stock. prices drop without fail every year.
Should I keep going or will that hurt your big galaxy brain too?
McDonalds already has Kiosks instead of employees that take your order. Expect this trend to expand and prices to go up.
@@omi_god Not at the same staffing levels in the past, a point that you choose to conveniently ignore.
They are pretty well ready to go with robot fry cooks.
Be careful what you wish for you just may get it.
@@omi_god No, they replaced the employees with kiosks. They used to have far more employees taking orders and doing other activities like stocking and cleaning when the customers were absent. They used to have between 3 and 5 employees doing this. Now they have 1 or 2 tops. This is all because of the kiosk implementation. If you give them money, you support the replacement of the worker.
STEAK& SHAKE no longer have waitresses to take orders, 😢
The real minimum wage is zero. Lots of fast food workers will be making that soon. Ask the former Domino Pizza delivery drivers. 1800 of them in California.

This affects everyone. What's going to happen when people in clean rooms making medical equipment are earning less than fast food workers? They're going to quit, that's what.
That's what I am doing. I work at a school for $15.50/hr. I'm not even going to tell them. I just quitting and have an interview at Burger King for $22.50/hr+.
Say goodbye to your jobs and small businesses
And more forced overtime for those who still work
They said the same thing when it went to $15.
minimum wage was meant to be temporary. but, people decided to make a career out of it instead of developing higher income skills. employees complain about corporate overlords exploiting them but its the employees who did it to themselves. you don't support a family off of minimum wage. you're supposed to support them with a financially stable salaried career.
This is a very ignorant statement. No one decides to make a career out of a minimum wage gig. I didn't. I wasn't handed the job's I wanted out of high school. I got stuck with medial labor whilst all my other classmates got the jobs they wanted and got away with stuff I couldn't. Just as our nation has politics and what seems like high school drama at times, so does a restaurant. I've been fired for calling in 1 day out of the entire 3 years I worked there being 2nd in charge of the store.
Some people got fired from jobs they've worked at for years, you know the thing most good paying jobs look for. Or some people got stabbed in the back and got fired because they wanted your pay and title but didn't wanna work as hard.
And there are those that have sought out higher income skills and are still stuck at minimum wage. Wake up! Just because you have a college degree or college experience doesn't make you all of a sudden employable, or change the fact that pay for productivity has been shrinking for the last several decades, so even if you are hired at your "higher income" position, you don't even make enough to put food on your table and pay back the knowledge you had to attain to make the person who own's the company you work for millions of dollars.
It's not a war over how much we pay the people who make our lunches and dinners when we are too lazy to make our own, but the war is over the people who exploit fast food workers to make their millions whilst their workers can't even afford the gas they use to get to work.
And "minimum" shouldn't be the absolute least amount you can give someone to survive. Someone should be able to live comfortably off of that money and not have to live without essentials you rich folk tend to overlook on a daily basis. Cause unless you pay for every type of insurance there is known to mankind, you're gonna end up with some bills.
@@doisenwadzinski6171 Yes they did decide. That sounds like a you problem. That sounds like personal accountability on the employee. No one cares about your victim mentality. You don't use minimum wage to support a family. If you do, then you got more problems in your life.
Also, not that I work for a fast food place, I challenge you to live off of what your local fast food chain pays in today's age. That money doesn't equate to much. You'd be lucky to have a few dollars left in your pocket after today's rental prices, or today's food prices. Whether or not you're only supposed to live off these wages in your teenage and early 20's, this money is nothing to survive on.
And it's not just fast food. This wage increase should be across the board for all of America. Just because you own a business or have a degree, doesn't make you entitled to either money or a job. Nor does it make you better than your neighbor or the person who you treat like shit at a store because you had a bad day yourself.
And just because you get paid for your craft doesn't make it any more valuable. I've spent 20 years doing something that I enjoy and could care less if I make a penny from as long as I can make someone happy or have someone stop to enjoy the music I play. This is why you should pay your low wage workers. Most of those low wage workers have other crafts or hobbies that the could spend their time on. Not giving some rich asshole his next golf vacation.
@@doisenwadzinski6171 You should appreciate that rich assholes give people jobs. Low wage was meant to be temporary. *You don't ask your boss for a raise to support kids you could not afford.* Instead of pointing the problem at rich people, make better choices in life. Take personal accountability. If you don't like where you're at, do something about it. Increasing wages just to satisfy the poor negatively affects the poor and the middle class in the long run. Businesses will either layoff or increase prices just to offset. You're why the problem exists.
@@doisenwadzinski6171 You should appreciate rich assholes for even giving poor people a job. *You don't ask your boss for a raise to support kids you could not afford.* Increasing minimum wage will just hurt the poor and middle class even more. Businesses will either increase prices or layoff. I don't have to take your challenge because I learned to make better choices in life. I'm not responsible for poor people when I made smart decisions. Poor people are part of the problem because they exploited "rich assholes" out of necessity. Its their fault for making low wage as their career. If you don't like where you're at, then that's on you. You chose to work for a rich asshole and now you're complaining 😅
No one HAS to eat fast food. It’s a choice!
That's right, the price-demand curve for fast food is far more elastic than the gas you need to drive to work each morning or the gas/electricity needed to heat your home in the winter.
This will only increase automation in restaurants and reduce shift hours for workers.
100% Exactly. Workers will just get the shaft, and fast food will either be automated to the point it's not even enjoyable to go, and/or they will go out of business en masse.
@@_The_Captainthe ending made no sense at all
500,000 workers will be reduced to 400,000 workers who will have to work twice as fast and perform many more tasks. Managers will be doing a lot more work with fewer employees.
Lower wages meant over hiring, which equals fewer hours to begin with. Also 1 out of every 5 employees don't care about their job.
By raising minimum wage you just raised product prices 🤦 now a large fountain drink will cost $7
Don't ppl realize that yea it's going up, but your hours of employment will go down. Prices of food go up.
The best way to get back at the $20 minimum wage stupidity is to not buy anything from where they work.
More laid off workers and more people become homeless on street.
California should stop the income tax like Florida, Texas, and Washington!
The more money you get the more you get tax. Guess what? Wait until you see your paycheck. Second your food is going to go up.
I go to the Mexican stores to get my fast food good healthy food and it is way cheeper then fast food crap. good good food and they cook it right in front of you so you know what you are getting you can get a very good meal for 6 dollars even comes with some vegetables and a piece of fruit.
YOU HAVE A CHOICE , DO NOT EAT FAST FOOD! NOT GOOD FOR YOU!
Good luck California! You voted very well!
Newsom needs a new tax base, all the rich folk are leaving.
Fast food jobs are not supposed to be permanent jobs... they are MINIMUM WAGE, NO SKILL.....All this does and hurt everyone
Bet 1 employee will be bugged to do the job of 2-4 employees, imo.
Is that any different than now?
E.B.T. cardholders should be banned to insure tax payer dollars are not wasted buying unhealthy overpriced Fast-food .
I agree people with EBT food stamps should buy meat from grocery stores and cook their food not spend it on a luxury fast food joint
@@DarthSidious. Some people don't know how to cook. And in many cities where people live in a shoe box apartment, are not allowed to cook.
That's right, there are apartments where there are no stoves because the apartments are way to small, and as per the fire department can not have a kitchen.
So people are left to eat at fast food locations where the food is pretty cheap.
You can't put a blanket rule over everyone without knowing their situation. I know of an elderly lady that is on social security and EBT.
She does not know how to cook. And most of the times she goes to KFC to buy chicken so she can try to eat healthy with chicken.
I agree many fast food locations are not healthy at all, but we can all agree that chicken is healthy, and she goes to a Chinese food place
once in a while too, which they also accept EBT. Again she does not know how to cook. And yes its shocking to know, but some people are like that.
People are just trying to live their lives and stay alive the best way they can in the extremely short life they have on this planet.
I forgot to mention those who live in the streets and also don't have a place to cook. Their only option is fast foods.
Because homeless people get EBT as well. They are still people and they can't just be left to die of starvation. Hence why they have EBT.
Also just so you know...
In 90% of the cases of EBT, you must have a job to get EBT. Its mandatory and part of their rules in order to receive EBT.
So they pay taxes too.
The ONLY people who is not regulated to have jobs when they receive EBT is the disabled, homeless and elderly people.
You MUST show proof to the government that you have a job, before you are given an EBT. And the EBT is based on your employment income.
Some EBT holders get $100 and some get the max of $220 a month maximum. It depends on how much you earn. And again, they also pay taxes.
@@TwstedTVI guess from your point of view I can see why it shouldn’t be black and white u are right maybe I was being to harsh people need to eat they are all adults and have free will who I’m I to tell them what to eat
@@TwstedTVunder this price increase 220 a month will get you about 10 burgers . Owners will 100% pass cost on to customers.
California already the highest unemployment rate in the nation. This is just make things worse in CA.
Close baby close no more fast food restaurants in California and that's karma.
Oh great $20 dollar Jack in the Box meals coming.
Governor Newsome and Liberal progressive Democrat politicians should be voted out. They're damaging California.
Now time to start pushing for $25 and higher, all the way until the whole thing is fully ran by robots.
The Democrats understand economics don’t get it twisted. They’re doing this without telling you you’re gonna pay more in taxes. Instead of figuring out how to budget your taxes , they are trying to figure out ways to tax you more.
Democrat policies destroy.
Quite the blueprint for messing up food prices for the rest of the country
don't call your resturant fast food -- then they can't do anything
Exactly why I dipped 2 years ago. Best decision I've made
This is just passed on to the consumer.
Hire illegal immigrants should help. Vote blue to get screw
Get ready to be fired
Then laying off then $20 for Big Mac 🤣🤣 how is stupid Governor
There are no pros or winners, consumers lose.
Managers didnt get a raise a trainee will make about the same as the bosses.
Will be the death nail for fast food in California.
gavin nuisance why would anyone vote for a nuisance?
The Federal rate is still applicable once layoffs happen and people end up looking for lower desperate wages, then a new low rate will be established where prople will work for.
I reluctantly left California a couple of years ago because my job relocated to Arlington TX! It is quite different under different leadership. I have family and friends that are back home so I stay tuned into what is happening to California. So incredibly sad what is happening to my state of California!
I’m confused I thought the hard workers from Mexico made Cali better why has only
Crime, taxes & rent went up more after ever few hundred thousand come in to help?!
I’m serious can anyone please explain to me this
"BOOST PRICES A BIT"...Expert my eye😂😂😂😂
Good, you voted for it !
It is ridiculous and unfair that people have to have 2 jobs to be able to cover their basic expenses,...this country is running out...the Economy is terrible...that is why people die very young and faster.... but those Politicians don't care; They only care about their jobs and money, how sad,...they hurt...
È ridicolo e ingiusto che le persone debbano avere 2 lavori per poter coprire le spese di base,... questo paese si sta esaurendo... l'economia è terribile... ecco perché le persone muoiono molto giovani e più velocemente... ..ma a quei Politici non interessa; A loro importa solo del lavoro e dei soldi, quanto sono tristi... fanno male...
This is a bit of government overreach. But California is such a mess there are bigger things to worry about. The wage will hurt many employees while helping others. Many will be without a job soon because the higher prices will lead to more automation. But at the same time prices are so expensive in California even 20 an hour feels like 2.38 in 1977 which was the minimum wage back then.
Any of the Fast Food workers that were in favor of this obviously didn't study how economics 101. Higher minimum wage means higher operational costs. Eventually all these FF workers will be regretting the minimum wage going up that high.
No more going out to eat for me anymore .
Here is the issue with this. Working at a fast food restaurant is not designed to raise a family on. These jobs are designed for high school and college kids to make a few extra bucks to learn some responsibility, build some credit, and maybe pay a car payment, other small Bill's. Somehow, (over the years), this has changed to the point where people are trying to use food service jobs to make a living on. It doesn't work. Better education, and better career choices equate into a better standard of living, not trying to force small franchise owners to pay larger wages for jobs that are designed for high school kids.
Undoubtably a lot of young inexperienced workers will be replaced by millennials with much more experience who will eye those jobs at $16.00 to $20.00 an hour. The national economy and capitalism will simply adjust for it like everything else and we will scarcely remember it in 5 years
Part of getting a Political Science degree should be having to take some courses in Economics!!
$20 and they still mess my order up. SMH.
Those supporters are the $15 - $19 wages working in the fast food. And they don't realize 30% to 40% will soon be laid off. And those who get to keep their job with new wages of $20 will have to work 2x harder due to staff shortage.
This is the most stupid idea. Reward people that have no special skills. Any person out there of street qualifies.
Have we figured it this is not how to help our economy?
Hopefully the silver lining in this is that fast food consumption goes down because it is too expensive
I avoid fast food--it's too expensive. I can make my own food, know what is in it, tastes better and a LOT cheaper. Plus--no tip required.
He did not mention how the state will benefit from higher taxes didn't he?
إنه أمر مثير للسخرية وغير عادل أن يضطر الناس إلى الحصول على وظيفتين حتى يتمكنوا من تغطية نفقاتهم الأساسية،... هذا البلد ينفد... الاقتصاد فظيع... ولهذا السبب يموت الناس في سن مبكرة جدًا وبسرعة.. .. ولكن هؤلاء السياسيين لا يبالون؛ إنهم لا يهتمون إلا بوظائفهم وأموالهم، كم هو محزن أنهم يتألمون...
I'm not making $20/hr working in the school district. I'm only making $15.50 an hour, so I am QUITING RIGHT NOW. And, I am gonna go work at Burger King. They are paying $22.50+/hr.
I won’t see any higher prices because I’ve stopped going to these places.
Many fast food companies said they will be forced to do mass layoffs once this goes into affect. Many will lose their jobs.
Companies will be forced to automate their company. Many fast food places including McDonalds already have Kiosks and pretty soon there will only be 2 staff members
and the rest will be automated. Also fast food places like Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonalds and others used to only be closed from 11:59-pm to 6:00-am.
Now fast food places will be forced to be closed much earlier around 10-pm and open much later like 9-am, to save money.
Look I am all for people earning more money and all, because food is overpriced and rent is through the roof.
But knowing how these companies work, they will be drastic measures taken by these companies and customers are the ones that are going to get the short end of the stick.
This is slick Newsom way of collecting more tax dollars- wage goes up so do personal state income tax- caring about workers- give me a break Governor and First lady-
WTF I PAY ALMOST 40$ for two people a few days ago every body’s life is going to stay the same
That'll be 60 tomorrow.
They don't deserve to get that much money. 😢😢😢
As workers make more money, they also pay more income taxes, which go to the government, to provide unemployment benefits to those laid off due to the higher wages. It's simply a case of a snake eating itself.
Wages are 7.25 for FF, delivery driving is 6.00, and waiters 2.13. Most places added a dollar or 2 to stay competitive, McDonald's hires out at 10 just to keep people because this area has been critically short staffed at every business for 4 years. We need more workers too, at less desireable jobs. The unemployment rate has been very low, 1% at one point. Bucees, when it opens, will have the highest wages by long shot for all front-line managerial, HR, and service positions in our area. They have the pick of skilled applicants and can offer the pay at low end of salary range. There's ongoing land development for several hundred square miles surrounding WTAMU and international airport. Tons of land and I-40 runs through here. OKC, DFW, DEN, all 4- 5 hours away. Texas panhandle, if any businesses want to move.
It will mean job loss, increased prices and cut hours.
So many businesses won't be able to pay that and move to another state, or hire imagrants. $20 an hour is not a reasonable pay for the minimum wage . That's almost Three times what some states have for a minimum . 😮 What a terrible thing to do to so many companies, the high wages won't help anyone with no jobs 😢
Minimum wage increase means you’re paying more taxes…😅
Free money!!
I’ll avoid fast food entirely, and get a sandwich at the GROCERY STORE.
Mickey D's pays better than daycare centers.
That sandwich in the thumbnail looks so bomb 😂
Recall newsom
People shouldn't be eating that crap anyway. It wouldn't be the end of the world if all of those places out of business! In fact, it would be better off without them.
