    If an EMT makes less than a fast food worker, there's a huge problem. FGN

    Dumbest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life. California is done.
  • @juangarza9520
    If you’re spending $50 on fast food for two, you better learn how to cook.

    I really don't understand what California thought would happen when they passed this...
  • @Cesar-pq2ck
    How screwed are we! Biden at the fed level and Newsom at the state level.
  • CA gov already saying that $20 isn't enough and they want to raise min wage to $50 an hour for everyone. Over 100k a year to flip a burger and burn your fries!?! CA can't fall in the ocean fast enough.

    The most frustrating thing about this for me is I’m a home health care worker that’s taken several medical training and I only get $16 an hour to keep my patient alive. He stays with me and I have a mortgage to pay and he only gets $1,000.00 a month from social security. How is this fair to everyone else. This price hike only went to fast food workers . Absolutely ridiculous that a high school job should make more money then those others trying to get by

    I work as an EMT for a Fire Department in California. I make $3 less per hour than a McDonalds employee. Leaves me scratching my head on why I work as hard and for as many hours as I do if I could be making more doing a much simpler, less stressful, and safer (mentally + physically) job. I'd be making $3 more per hour, and I wouldn't have to worry about telling a wife that her husband is dead beyond resuscitation, and we can't save him. I wouldn't have to cover a corpse with a sheet and try to console her as she desperately grieves for her recently passed.

    Why is no one talking about how Panera Bread is skating off scott-free? The abuse of power here by Newsome is appalling. UPDATE: Newsom’s office clarified that a legal analysis determined Panera does not fall under the exception because it mixes its dough off-site instead of fully producing bread on the premises of its retail locations.

    A professors response is that it’s good for fast food restaurants to start using machines, crazy.
  • @CraigConnors
    I don't eat out anymore. When it costs $8.00 for a big mac and they still can't get it right and the amount of meat in it is the size of a silver dollar.

    All Fast food in CA needs to close and let the state fall on its face.
  • @robedmund9948
    "Can I get two double cheeseburgers and a large Coke, please?" "Sure, thing. That'll be $49.95. Would you like fries with that order?" "How fast can you do a credit check?"
  • @wvillaro195
    The SAD PART IS, many restaurants workers are getting paid $20 to $25 per hours because they of their 10 to 20 yrs of service; and now the newly non experience workers who’ll be doing the same work of these veteran workers are going to get pay $20/ hr? Where is justice in here?
  • @TheRealLarissa
    $20 for fast food workers? That's more than I ever made as a teacher in California.
  • @ParkerPennies
    As a fast food worker, I am now at $20 an hour. But the irony here is that I am making way less now. Why? Because any business that has to pay $20 an hour has slashed employee hours to part time. At $16.50 an hour, I was getting 6 to 8 hour shifts. At $20 an hour, I am only getting 4 hour shifts and somedays, only 3 hours. So I have taken a significant pay cut. And with California auto insurance having just gone up 33%, and rents that just keep going up and up, I don't know how I am going to survive. Thank You Governor Gruesome.
