This is what left wing retards say in response to legitimate concerns about the minimum wage rising unsustainably. Over 100,000 retail jobs have vanished since Rachel Reeves first budget because companies don’t have unlimited staff budgets or unlimited price elasticity of demand. It’s forecast at least another 100,000 will vanish in 2026 too. The minimum wage has risen 40% since 2020. Clearly that rate of increase is unsustainable. So when @OliDugmore used the left wing populist line that anyone who opposes unsustainable minimum wage rise wants Joe Bloggs to be paid less the response is simply to say Oli Dugmore wants you unemployed and on welfare.
Purposefully turning off the halftime show Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them) You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.
Collectively, the amount of Billionaire wealth that has left California in the last month (!) is now in excess of $700B. That means the $2T of California wealth they expected to tax is now down to $1.3T and falling quickly. I would not be surprised if 2026 ended with less than $1T of billionaire wealth in California and decades and hundreds of lawsuits. A complete and total unforced error. Where was the Governor? Where are our leaders?? If they don’t kill this ballot initiative and entice those folks to come back, the California budget will be massively upside down. Only place to get the money is to cut waste, fraud and abuse or increase taxes on the middle class. The latter is much simpler than the former.
