CEO of Carl's Jr/Hardees says demands for higher min wage is hurting workers

[jon_berzerk]

I notice when the price of gasoline goes up, people drive less. And when the price of meat goes up, they eat less meat.

All costs are part of the economic system and they all go up. For some reason the conservative economic model thinks they should all go up except the wages of working people.

As with all commodities, the price will cause a temporary adjustment in the marketplace, and then it will adjust, and then the system will go back to normal.

Wage is just another word for metal, or corn, or gasoline. When ANY of them go up it causes a temporary reduction in purchase of that product. Labor is one of them. Then it resumes equilibrium.

But for some reason, conservatives believe all those things naturally increase in price over time except how much human beings get paid for their effort.

Hmm, now who would this benefit?

When labor becomes over priced, employers figure out a way to get by with fewer employees.

Why in the he'll would anyone want to force employers to get by with fewer employees? What has been accomplished by that?

in the long run it cuts federal income tax base

sweet

Democrats are blind, deaf and dumb when you are trying to explain economics to them, and how raising the minimum wage increases unemployment.

They are in the pockets of the unions. Every time minimum wage goes up, union wages go up since union wages are a factor of minimum wage.

California doesn't notice when someone leaves.

Is that why Taxifornia Democrats want to raise numerous taxes?

California doesn't notice. The state has the 8th largest economy, not among states, but among nations. California's economy is roughly the size of the entire economy of Britain. Or Russia.

If you can't hack it here then yes, go where the weaker businesses go, like Taxus. No harm no foul. You have to have an A-game when you go into business here. The competition of capitalism is fierce!

California used to have the 7th largest economy in the world, best education system in America, best roads in America, and some of the lowest taxes in America.

California is now 8-9 depending upon source, and 48-50th in education, roads and tax burden.

like locusts

the libs devoured that state

it should serve as a warning to other states

So..you aren't coming to CA? Good.

And conservatives don't understand economics. When you raise the price of gasoline, the demand goes down. Temporarily, until the market, and the consumer, get used to the change. Then consumption goes up again.

The same with labor.

Trying to explain economics to a conservative is like trying to explain the internal combustion engine to a 6 year old. They won't get it no matter how much you go over it.

In fact Carl's Jr is moving the headquarters out of California because of how expensive it is to run a business there.

Good bye to the misogynists.

You're offended by some of their commercials ?

 

[Political Junky]

Imagine, an employer preferring to pay lower wages .. shocking.

Say hi to Walle, built by Cubans making $20/month.

We all know that Carl's Jr. would never automate anything if only his workers weren't so greedy. Just like we know that Henry Ford, and family, would still be building one car at a time, employing millions of workers, if it wasn't for those pesky unions.
