Brace yourselves. Rent is going to be a whole lot more expensive.

Wait, so McDonalds employee's will be getting the same salary that the people with college degrees who have been working nonstop are getting?

Yeah..Seems fair.

It's totally fair /s

And there's going to be so much inflation.

I think $10 an hour is a fair amount for minimum wage for a place like California, however being paid $15 an hour to flip some burgers is really kinda stupid. Businesses will be going out of businesses because they can no longer pay employee's, which will result in even LESS jobs being available. McDonalds is already replacing humans with AI cashiers which will result in even less jobs; and people who don't work who get unemployment are going to get a higher paycheck because of this.

It's so stupid. You work for your money, not demand the government to force companies to pay you what you think you want. Get a better job, plain and simple. You don't need a college degree to have a good job, just work and find one. ._.

Exactly. So, if we're talking fast food, they would have to charge more money for items on their menu.

It's a joke. What they don't seem to understand is that there is only so much money. People will now be forced to work a lot more hours, and tons of people will lose their jobs due to this.

Exactly! Except jokes are supposed to be funny. This isn't funny.
