The Fosters Freeze team in Lemoore, California, felt "shock" as they learned of the restaurant's last-minute closure on Monday, following the state's newly enacted $20 minimum wage law.
The total job market is reducing. That means there will be fewer jobs. California already has higher unemployment. So they just created a worse situation for these people.
The job market for them keep getting smaller.
If a company can’t afford to pay their employees a livable wage, they deserve to go under. Yeah it sucks for the workers but so does staying with a company that can’t pay them. Stop licking boots.
By forcing a higher wage, they just created more inequality. Now these people don’t have jobs and the total number of jobs has been reduced.
And these vacant positions elsewhere also need to pay minimum wage. It’s a temporary setback until the system adjust to the new minimum.

Your belief in a fair market has you blaming all the wrong people for all the wrong things.
Wages are set by supply and demand. I blame the correct person in this situation. The California government
You stand alone in your argument sir.
No, the workers blame the government as well. The government is the one who took their jobs away.

You’re licking boots.
The people were living on their current wage. They were happy with their wage. It’s in the article.
Now they have no job and no wages. Now they are sad.
Their wage was liveable to them. Now it’s not. The market was working fine until the government got in the middle and took away their jobs.
