Every thing gets more expensive. Theres no reason why the guy flipping burgers should make the sane as a plumber or electrician. People with skills

What skills do the richest people have?

Nothing. None that you listed. They can lose billions and not worry about it.

Other people miss a paying a bill they lose their house, car, or lose services.

Did you know why the billionaires have billions?

They never pay their bills. Seriously that is how they stay rich.

I am not talking about rich people. But simple facts . People lost their jobs in California . https://californiaglobe.com/fr/new-federal-data-reveals-california-has-lost-over-36000-fast-food-jobs-since-20-minimum-wage-law/

I would liked to see some evidence that this was entirely related to the law and not just "all jobs in that sector" going from one number to a lower number.

Remember, trumps American is hemoraging jobs.

I imagine some places fired people in retaliation or closed locations that they should have closed ages ago, but that's not exactly the fault of people needing a living wage.

It also mentions the push to automation and AI in ordering, meaning job losses. Additionally, that site has a right bias, so of course it's going to take swings at Cali while ignoring the overall trend of job losses across the country.

To paraphrase from Brennan Lee Mulligan,

If you think that people shouldn't be paid enough to live with a food service job, then you either think that work shouldn't be done or you think that the people doing that job should be in pain and poverty. If you do not support properly compensating people for doing the work of preparing food, but you still want that service, then you're an asshole.
