Now prices of everything else gon be going up on a tuesday :mjlol:

LOS ANGELES – City council leaders in the nation’s second-largest city voted Tuesday in favor ofhiking the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

The council voted in favor the measure in a 14-1 preliminary vote. The wage hike must still pass a final vote.

The vote followed months of debate over how quickly the current $9 an hour minimum should rise. It is already slated to go to $10 in January. Under the proposal city council will vote on today, Los Angeles would increase its required wage every year so that its hits $15 by July 2020.

If the plan is approved, Los Angeles would join Seattle, San Francisco and other West Coast cities in raising the minimum wage as part of a national campaign to reduce poverty. There has been an aggressive push nationally, led by labor and community groups such as Raise the Wage Coalition, to increase minimum wages for American workers in industries such as bog box retailers and fast food restaurants.

“It’s very significant,” said Paul Sonn, general counsel at the National Employment Law Project. “Los Angeles represents the $15 minimum wage going mainstream.”

The idea that raising minimum wage will see a surge in prices is misstated. Just look at Australia, they have a high miamus wage and a Big Mac costs the same there as it is here. The only thing that's higher over there is electronics

Yup just gonna inflate the price on everything. Everybody will be right back where they started. People are idiots.
Not necessarily. I majored in economics so businesses know a noticeable spike in prices will turn consumers off drastically so the odds are a little tick in prices but unemployment and layoffs are more eminent.

No actually you're the simple minded idiot for thinking it's just that simple. I'm not gonna bother bringing up the NUMEROUS examples of min wage increasing like this and it not affecting prices the way idiots like you think.

Oh yea guess what else you obviously weren't aware of? INFLATION has been accelerating. Basically the cost of everything has been increasing year by year every fukking year since 1970 and guess what happened to wages in all that time??? NOT A GOTDAMN THING.

So sick of broke ass ninjas argueing agsinst their own interests thinking they're being profound. FOH

Seems high as hell but its not really that much. Taxes are pretty heavy out there and I assume the cost of living is high as hell.

I know here (Toronto) after taxes 15 an hour is less than 25k a year.

Had to be a San Francisco Motherfukker to up the price...

People about to get laid off.... Motherfukkers will be running to live in Compton, watts, north long beach, the hoods of Oakland, sac town, for living now...

Then you better make sure you or your momma own your home to rent it out when that shyt happens and make bookoo bread. If your not staying a step ahead of the game you're losing.

:ehh: idk shyt about economics so i'll take your word for it.

Are you upset? You must work a minimum wage job. Don't get mad, get bread.



Federal minimum wage has risen more than 2 dollars since 2000. Risen a lot more than that since 1970. And a lot of states have raised their minimum wages anyway. What is cali's minimum wage right now? Like 10 dollars? Foh.
