Fast food lobbyists say the higher California minimum wage law led to a loss of nearly 10,000 jobs. The claim is baseless.

I don’t think this is actually about needing to pay wages, I believe that the real target is the fast food worker council that was created to make these changes. I think they’re going for a tried and true method to gain conservative sympathy, but Republicans are self-segregating away from California and their political influence is waning in the state.

    I pointed this out when this was posted in News as well- these are the same fast food corporations that are trying to replace employees with AI.

      I think it’s kinda funny that even their more subtle attacks are blatantly obvious
