                  Business (n): when two or more consenting adults agree to an economic trade

                  Anti-business (adj): Tending to prevent business from happening. As in: When the government forcibly broke the economic arrangements of those adults, it demonstrated its anti-business stance

                  I run a company. I Have for over thirty years.

                  Basically she’s ranting things that are not true.

                  As little as possible, in a free market, is as little as someone will consent to, ie as little as someone considers it to still be the best way to spend their own time.

                  In a free market, not being able to offer enough wages to get labor is indeed a sign of a failed market.

                  In a market with price controls (including price controls on labor), there are people willing to work for less, ie people who consent to committing their time to that arrangement, who aren’t given that opportunity. They are forcibly separated from the economic relationships they would willingly engage in.

                  In the headline above, these pizza workers fall into that category. An economic arrangement that they found worthy of their own consent is being blocked from happening, and they are therefore forced to go find the next best option for them.

                  They’ve been forced down the economic ladder by the government. It’s an injustice. It’s a violation of their personal autonomy. It’s a violation of their rights. It’s fucking wrong.

    As far as I can tell, it’s not “franchisees”, it’s a corporation that owns all the franchises. Looks like a political stunt to oppose the new $20 per hour law.

      No. The title is clear. It’s a franchise.

      The way Pizza Hut works is they create the idea the. License it to a franchisee. Pizza Hut owns very few stores.

    This is the completely obvious result of forcing wages higher than what is sustainable. Marxist libtards do not understand economics.

      I’m not opposed to a livable wage. What I am against is this stupid idea. Little places are excluded. Basically only large chains are required to follow it even though most are franchises.

      Bakers are excluded. It’s just stupid even if you agree with the intent

        Again it’s the not understanding economics. Not understanding that the market is a signal conducting medium, and that its success depends on those signals propagating, and that price controls destroy the signal conduction.
