Description

California's $20 minimum wage experiment just delivered a reality check that even socialism's cheerleaders can't spin away. We're talking 19,000 fast food jobs obliterated, menu prices skyrocketing 14.5%, and workers making LESS money because their hours got slashed harder than a budget meeting. But hey, at least Gavin Newsom can pat himself on the back while sipping Napa Cabernet as families choose between overpriced Happy Meals and staying home with ramen.We break down the cold, hard numbers: how California managed to destroy over 25% of America's fast food job losses in one state, why your $11 combo meal now costs $22, and how businesses are racing to install robots faster than you can say "Would you like fries with your unemployment?" Meanwhile, the same economic genius is eyeing a retroactive billionaire tax - because nothing says "please stay in California" like surprise taxation.Did anyone actually think mandating wages above economic reality would work? Are we witnessing the acceleration of automation thanks to government overreach? Drop your thoughts below and let's talk about what happens when ideology crashes into basic math. Don't forget to subscribe for more government accountability deep dives!
