    The astonishing number of fast food jobs lost - and restaurants
    shut - because of California's new $20-an-hour minimum wage

    Businesses in the state have raised prices and laid off workers
    to cut costs

    Fast food chains in California are slashing jobs - as a way
    to cut costs after the minimum wage in the state was hiked
    to $20-an-hour.

    Almost 10,000 positions across chains from Pizza Hut to
    Burger King have been cut since the law came into effect
    on April 1, according to a report from a trade group in
    the state.

    On top of that, chains have been shuttering restaurants -
    including beloved Mexican chain Rubio's Coastal Grill,
    which this week filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and
    closed 48 locations in the state.

    . . .

    The food fascists - tofu-suckers - are probably
    happy about all the closures.

    But for Joe Consumer this is a BAD thing, and
    represents a large LOSS OF CHOICE (not to
    mention $$$).

    Newsom is still kissing-up to the Do Nothing's in
    the state - over-payment for those who DO bother
    to get some few-skills jobs plus "free money"
    for all who don't. Thinks they're gonna win him
    elections - maybe, soon, the Presidency.

    But most others in the state, they now HATE him
    and his WokieCom entourage. They see high bills,
    less choice, less QOL, killers and dopeheads
    and child-molester/mutilators everywhere and
    can't STAND it anymore despite the high-holy
    'liberal' rhetoric.
