The man from the home of untreated swine shit pits now wants to keep fast food workers poor. His go to source is the arch right wing Hoover institute.
I didn’t originate this, but I guess Techno hasn’t read it before. You can only lose your credibility once. |

I could quote a dozen other sources for this issue, but you know the truth. I will take a few overflowing pig waste ponds (cleaned up) to all the crap going on in Calif. |

He comes out of the bushes to take another shot at the great state of California, which I've called home for 35 wonderful years.. Technoo, you embody the get off my lawn grumpy retired type..
In -N-Out has always paid up to $20/hour, and they add workers every year, so I imagine the losses are with companies that don't have the margins of In-N-Out. |

You guys seem to think that the $20 min. is a good thing for unskilled labor. Care to agree?
Those that are lucky enough to keep their fast-food jobs, great, but what about those that are laid off? More folks on the government dole?
If a company keeps their employees and does so by increasing the cost of the food = just another injection into inflation. This assumes that customers are okay with expensive hamburgers.
Give it a few months and let's see how it play out. |

It would appear your state isn't feeling the affects of your "cleaned up" ponds yet. You choose a state that has a health care system ranked in the bottom half of the country, a homicide rate in the top third & a life expectancy rate barely above Lebanon. I have no problem with your choice. My only concern is we end up like your state; then I would have to move.

Techno .. In -N-Out is ridiculously inexpensive .. Maybe you should lecture the Billionaire heiress of the company about price elasticity .. |

You can lead a conservative to a virtual smorgasboard of facts and ideas--but you can't make him think. It's all about reaction and resentment.
It is more expensive to live in California than North Carolina. Two metrics to show that.
Average house price, according to Zillow,
California $783,000 +
North Carolina $329,000 +
Average salary according to Zip recruiter
California $29.70/hour
North Carolina, $25.38/hour
Head smack. States are different. California is expensive enough that some businesses move away and growth has slowed. There is a market.
One more thing that angry old men don't care about. In North Carolina, you can only get an abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy--when many women aren't sure that they are pregnant or know anything about the health of the fetus.
Stay there, please. |

Cleaned up? When pigs outnumber humans 30:1, you’d think they would actually need to clean up their shit. Not yet. Lagoons were banned 20 years ago. But…https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23003487/north-carolina-hog-pork-bacon-farms-environmental-racism-black-residents-pollution-meat-industry

Techno thinks his shit doesn’t stink—because all he can smell is pig shit. |
