Newsom signs $25 minimum wage law for all hospital workers, finds out afterward it will cost California $4 billion
Governor Hairspray doesn't pay attention much to California's budget numbers. It's as if putting on a green visor would mess up his costly coif.So, in no surprise to the rest of us, Gavin Newsom was in fo...
He’ll make a fine President.
Came here to say similar....
Aren't they ridiculous?
The is DUE to their up-bringing of NOT having to start a company or work for someone else...President Trump at least did BOTH MANUAL LABOR and MENIAL LABOR!!! And That is why the "BLUE COLLARS" Love him...He paid his dues!!!!!
What work did President Trump do that would be considered manual or menial labor?
First when he was a teenager working for his dad, then as an adult he did a day of every job at the hotel just to see what it took and to show solidarity. His help loves him.
What jobs did he do for his dad are you talking about? Can you give me an example?
That's pretty cool that he did a day of every job at a hotel. I've never heard that before. Did you read that in a biography of him?
Do you really think that qualifies as working a manual labor job, though?
Edited to add: I'm not criticizing President Trump in the least. I think it's cool that he knew it was important to understand his business from the ground up. And I know he has empathy and understanding for blue collar workers.
But I think it's a bit of a stretch to say he was a blue collar worker because he spent a day doing various jobs in his hotel. As someone who worked his way through college by being a dishwasher at a resort restaurant, I can say that someone doing that job for a day does not count as them being a blue collar worker. But it's honorable that he took the time to understand what everyone does in his hotel.
But no, he was not a manual laborer. And there's nothing wrong with that.
In Venezuela, streets are filled with money for him to spend
“Finds out afterward” no he didn’t. These people are not stupid, this is all deliberate.
Yup. Liberals always institute policies that seem compassionate and caring but ruin society. They say oops. Mistakes were made, then go to their beach house, cocaine and hookers to rethink mother BS plot.
"Sorry, but you should have known I was a retard before you voted for me."
Odd how they are so smart and intelligent yet when they get into office the only ones who do well from their polices are their family and friends. Almost like…. It’s a criminal racketeering organization.
So paying a cafeteria line worker who hands out trays the same wage as an X-ray tech, or lab tech is a good idea? Sit back and watch the fire works LOL!!!! Fuck that guy is dumb as shit!
This Retard has no Idea, how Economics work.. he held a meeting- to investigate High Gas Prices,. Only to find out it’s the $1 tax on every Gallon.. this Fag is Full on Retard.
Good question. Why the hell would someone go into debt and spend several years to learn a vocation in health care, such as an x-ray technician or nursing, if the end result is a wage equivalent to an illegal sweeping the floors? That $25/hr is a minimum wage, meaning that all the other wages are going to have to take a significant bump up increase to reach some manner of "fairness." That alone will take the already high medical costs in California and shoot them into the stratosphere. The problem with liberals and commies is that they never think of those pesky impacts on the economy or the fair market value of a wage.
I wonder if those minimum wage increases also apply to contracted service workers or are they only for those employed by the health institution itself. Many hospitals contract with outside companies to provide housekeeping, food, security, and maintenance services.
Like the loss of home owner's insurance due to the cost for carriers, private medical insurance carriers may also decide that the cost of doing business in CA is simply too high and decide to pull out. Bring in single payer government health care - what the socialists have dreamed of all along. So, is this move by CA's officials just socialist incompetence or a deliberate attempt to destroy private health care in CA? Looks like a little of both to me.
It saddens me to sit back and watch the State I called home for almost 4 decades degrade into the commie hell hole that it has become.
Completely disregarding minimum wage laws--inflation is hitting so hard we're going to blow right through $15 and up to $25 very soon just to make ends meet.
$100k is pretty much what $50k was in 2020.
Its worse and only climbing beyond that. You can gauge by fast food restaurants: You could get a burger meal, all standard sized, for $5 in 2020. Now it's nearing triple the cost. Taco Bell is definitely triple in the same time frame. Chic-Fil-A, same. Burger King, same. All of them, same.
Dont even get me started on the insane grocery store prices in the same time span. Therefore, I would offer that $50k in 2020 is more in the neighborhood of $125k-$150k now.
No shit, making over 100k and still struggling.
The idea is not to increase wages, but to lower the cost of living. Increasing wages not only places the wage earner in a higher tax bracket but also increases the earnings of banksters and corporatists as they raise their fees and prices.
Having to pay your employees more is reflected in the cost of goods or services those companies have to compensate to pay their workers. The dollar is losing value
CA is dead. Now it's just rotting.
He did it because he knows he will bankrupt more places in Kalifornia and that’s the way communism works. No hospitals no stores no companies nothing.
That is my favorite nickname now..
Thanks fren lol
I refer him as Gruesome.
My MIL calls him Nuisance.
That works, too.
Wages rise via competition, not mandates. How about stop flooding the country with illegals, put tariffs on outsourced goods, and lower taxes. Then you'd see actual hard working people get paid what they deserve.
Newson using his "Hey, I'm a no-nothing idiot" financial wisdom?
Well seeing how Congress just keeps printing money, Newsom is the prefect fit.
LOL! He didn't find out afterward. This degenerate snake knew; they all know. The goal is the destruction of our country.
D'oh.. Dancing nurse videos at $25x#nurses x hours of practice x cost of dead gradmothers.
California used to be the 3rd largest economy in the world
You spelled soon to be third world shit hole wrong.
Unfortunately you are correct
He Killed Solar in Cali. Now the Entire Economy.. Fast Food raises Prices to meet the 20$ demand.
He is Killing the Economy in California, at Lightning speed.. which he does enormous amounts of.
Fuckin idiot
That's only a $50,000 salary pre-tax, you know? $25 x 2,000 = $50,000. Far less than the median wage in this country. Who in their right mind downvotes this into oblivion? After how you saw business and corporation act as enforcer for the COIVID bullshit, how can you possibly still simp for them now???
That's only a $50,000 salary pre-tax, you know? $25 x 2,000 = $50,000. Far less than the median wage in this country.
Doesn't matter. Its still meddling in the private sector. If you don't like the pay, get a better resumè
You sound like some 75 year old 'Boomer 'tard. Go and show us how that works out, please?
Show us how a free job market works? Walk into another place of business and ask for an application. Pretty straight forward. Stuff your mommy and daddy should have taught you as a teenager
They are deeply entrenched in collusion and price fixing with one another. That much is blatantly true.
Corporations didn't give a shit about you, and if for by some luck you end up with an aggressive union that actually negotiates a fair wage for you and your colleagues, they outsource production overseas.
They really do have your best interests in mind don't they? Excluding anything relating to vaccine mandates for that matter.
That's not less than the median wage, that's more.

My original estimate of $65,000 for median income was because I was remembering the TRUMP years;
HIGHEST FUCKING EVER IN 2019!
Median wage is around $65,000 for a sole earner. That's $32.50/hr if 2,000 hours worked (50 weeks out of 52 weeks due to 2 weeks vacation with 40 hours worked for all 50 weeks. 50 weeks X $32.50 = $65,000.)
It's really the only data to go off of. $15 x 2,000 = $30,000 PRE-THEFT. I mean tax. Do the math. Something is truthfully fucked up if people are working full time and aren't able to thrive. And when people barely get by how in the world does any business expect the best effort out of their employees? They don't - as much as they gripe and moan about high turnover, they secretly love it and they need it to prosper by keeping their payroll as low as possible.
That's a lot for a janitor, or a cafeteria worker
And gardener.
Who's going to be willing to trade their time for those jobs if you don't pay them to live well?
those without any high value skills. this has been the way of things for a very long time.
Making gold, silver, and Bitcoin legal tender it would raise the standard of living far more than a minimum wage increase
