    Wages are set by supply and demand. I blame the correct person in this situation. The California government

        No, the workers blame the government as well. The government is the one who took their jobs away.

          If a company can’t afford to pay their employees a livable wage, they deserve to go under. Yeah it sucks for the workers but so does staying with a company that can’t pay them. Stop licking boots.

            You’re licking boots.

            The people were living on their current wage. They were happy with their wage. It’s in the article.

            Now they have no job and no wages. Now they are sad.

            Their wage was liveable to them. Now it’s not. The market was working fine until the government got in the middle and took away their jobs.

              “He did blame it on the minimum wage increase. Although, from my understanding, I think we were exempt from it because of the amount of locations that he personally owns. But, he did ultimately blame it on that increase,” she said.

              How about this for a new title: “Salty Restaurant owner doesn’t like new law that doesn’t apply to him, fires everyone anyway”

              Gotta love the free market, right?

              You’re licking corporate boot to defend shitty business practices.

                The law does apply to him. She’s incorrect.

                A better title would be California governor causes mass layoffs.

                The owner has no obligation to provide jobs. If the risk isn’t worth the reward, he’ll shut down. That’s how it works.
