FAST FOOD LAYOFFS ARE HERE! THOUSANDS LOSING THEIR JOB...

Just days before the new $20 per hour minimum wage for fast food workers kicks in in California thousands of fast food workers are being laid off or having their hours reduced in anticipation of business owners, keeping their labor cost under control. Sounds like this will be a great thing for the economy especially when they try to make $20 per hour the national minimum wage...

@@gypsy547OK. Lets do this. Cut pay by 1/3 of current wages. Will the prices drop to 1/3 of what they are now? Nope. Stop blaming the workers unless you are a CEO of a company that relies on free labor. Employees are hired so the owner doesn't have to do all the work. The employee's labor is doubled or tripped (I.E. 8 *3=24) and added to the cost of the product. So the employee's are making 16 per hour for the owner / company per employee. Owners try this instead, cut costs, automate, buy more efficient equipment, do owner kind of stuff to keep you company profitable to pay your workers not increase the stock value to boost your annual bonus. Either you're an owner or you don't mind being exploited. The worker isn't the cause of inflation. It's corporate greed period.

[@keyisersoze]

Exactly. If it is so substantially difficult to raise the minimum wage to a living level, then in my opinion, it is not the fault of the minimum wage but rather of our business structures and elected officials. For years, they have let our citizens' minimal living standards fall so low in the name of excessive profits and politics that a living wage given for an honest day's work is considered out-of-touch, laughable, and easily dismissable for the common man. It is a moral failing that those who work honestly in labor in the richest country on the Earth live in conditions similar to those in the developing world.

So the multimillion dollar corporation that has made unprecedented profits for decades can raise the price of their food because of " inflation" but can't raise it to give their employees a living wage. Really?

[@edmundworrell530]

You don’t understand economics. Higher wages lead to higher labor costs, which forces higher food prices, which leads to fewer customers. If the reduction in the number of customers leads to reduced revenue and profits then there will be automation, reduced hours, and permanent firings.

[@kathrynw3]

@@edmundworrell530 First of all, don't assume that I don't know anything about economics. I graduated from the University of Maryland with a bachelor's degree in business and economics and have been working in the finance sector for over a decade. So I am quite familiar with the principles of economics and how they affect international finance, public policies, and business management. I also know that this same hysteria about loss of jobs is what conservatives said in 1996 when the federal minimum wage was raised, and after the wage hike was finally passed, almost 10,000,000 low-wage workers received a raise, with no decline in overall employment, so it's simply a myth that raising the wage automatically means loss of jobs, higher labor costs, or higher food prices. The monopoly of corporations that control the price of food in this country is definitely going to raise food prices regardless of what is going on with labor, because that equates to more profit for them. The bottom line is that if your business model depends on paying your workers starvation wages, then you should not be in business. Raising the minimum wage is good for workers, businesses, and ultimately the economy, based on historical precedent. Keep in mind that we live in a country that easily passes an $858 billion annual defense budget with no real debate but has failed to raise the minimum wage for over a decade, despite nearly two-thirds of its citizens living paycheck to paycheck and 70% living below the poverty level.

The Fed creates inflation to force people to spend. In Weimar Germany inflation was so high that as soon as people got paid they immediately rushed out and spent all the wages on food. To wait an hour was to pay triple or quadruple the price, and get one third to one quarter the food. The Fed tries to create a muted version of that in America with a target inflation rate of 3 percent. Multiply 1.03 by itself 25 times and you will get approximately 2, so prices double every generation; ie; every 25 years. I suggest you get a part time, at home, customer service job, or phone sales job, that pays both a salary plus commission. Be sure to pay the 15 % alternative minimum tax on the commissions you earn. This pays the social security tax, and the payments are then worked into the formula to increase your benefits each year.

You’re half right, government interference in things are a problem, however this is t a political problem. It’s happening across the entire western world. The root of the problem is free enterprise and the expectation of infinite growth. Sadly, growth is finite, and think of all the extra costs involved with being an employee or an employer in this day and age compared to 20 years ago, ultimately there’s way more organisations wanting their slice of every one else’s pie. A hundred years of free enterprise is ironically, the issue.

[@HugoTheIcyFire]

@@TerrorTrooperM "A hundred years of free enterprise is ironically, the issue." Yet, it didn't even take half as long for inflation and unreasonable (green) energy policies to ramp up production costs. Added with increased taxes, it's easy to see who it is that wants a slice of the pie. Even here in Norway, the "welfare paradise", big business owners are packing up and leaving the country, because our high taxes show that there are better places to make a profit. Not to mention our government selling our electricity to foreign nations. The government becomes richer, yes, but the tradeoff is that electricity prices increase for the people. Always remember this: just because a country's government is wealthy and powerful, it doesn't mean the same can be said for the people.

@@TerrorTrooperM If you have not read the book "The End of More" you echo the sentiments of the Authors, but it does not apply to the U.S. we have been living in a peculiar "blip" in history. The Boomers (the largest generation in US history) were investing heavily for retirement (this is a trend of all generations in the last 10-15 years before retirement). Half the BB's have retired and taken their money out of the market (less capital = capital costs go up). The Russians in 1992 dropped an empire worth of raw materials on the market for cheap. And China industrialized, with a capital system that incentivized cheap labor. All of these are coming to an end. All are inflationary, even for us. For the rest of the war (barring a few countries) it's bad news. The U.S. does not depend on foreign trade, we (because the Millennials are a large generation) will still have a consumption driven economy, but "reshoring" manufacturing, well that's going to be inflationary also. I'm not saying it won't hurt a little but some countries as you know them today will not survive. If D.C. would concentrate on the obvious, growth we could be running at 8% growth to offset the inflationary trends we are in.

Even fast food isn't the same, Burger King used to have the flame broiled burger, you could see the cooking beef and they tasted great.

The systemic greed is out of control!!!

[@arsenelupiniii8040]

Crap economy always makes people flake out. Just like last time. Divorce, foreclosure suicide and drug abuse all went through the roof. People are just resources for globalists, in effect anyway.

I thought the only systemic thing was racism? This is the first time I hear that greed is also systemic!

[@arsenelupiniii8040]

@@jakeforrest Meh, it is a human thing. Most people just wanna be able to come home to a full fridge and a cold beer, and turn on the tube. But the greed genetics are a thing, and more folks than their last name would tell of have said gene. Google the DNST3 gene, and what it is.

Buying low grade and mediocre food at restaurants with your hard earned money is beyond idiotic.

I worked at a low wage place where they forced training sessions on you every other week and charged everyone £20 each to attend BAD PRACTICE. ( It was the same informatiin over and over)

The handful of fast food restaurants in my area has shut down. They crunch the numbers and even if they did increase the price of their food they are still not making money. They would losing money.

[@appleforever6664]

I can see fast-food businesses baking their own hamburger buns to exempt themselves from paying $20/hr.

[@GirtonOramsay]

Lol that exemption only applies if they baked bread before like Sept 2023.

[@samking4179]

the idiot "law" takes that into consideration. "...exemption only applies if they baked bread before like Sept 2023."

The communistic law was made to bankrupt small businesses in CA. It has an exception for one of the Governors friends that owns some fast food franchises.

Mcdonnies used to have the best fries in the world, fresh spuds peeled in a big washing machine looking thing. Now they are frozen tasteless starch strings. The price has skyrocketed and quality has gone down the crapper. Same with Big Buck$ coffee. Their coffee was great when there was ONE store in Seattles Pike Place Market. Then they went corporate and the prices rose and the coffee didnt taste as good. Now the machine makes the coffee, the "baristas" are just there to put on a fancy show of serving the customers. Of course, both McDs and Big Buck$ have employee manuals that tell exactly how the slave, I mean employee, is to do their job. They both lost my business more than ten years ago.

It's so weird. Y'all should go to your state reps and explain the concept of "Profit" and "Margin," when combined, and how they impact businesses. It seems like they sure as hell don't want to cut back on taxes.
