California voters have rejected Prop 32, which would have raised the state’s minimum wage from $16 to $18.
With 100% of the ballots tallied, the measure was rejected by a 0.8% margin (50.8 - 49.2), according to the California Secretary of State’s office. The total vote difference for the proposition was 234,146.
Why would anyone vote against it?
Maybe it was written by the same person who wrote the title of this Post? Lol
That’s often the reason. We had some bullshit in my State during the election. It was worded in a way that despite being someone who enjoys doing the writing, I still felt like I had to look it up.
Kaepora Gaebora can kiss my shiny metal ass, dammit.
Because “back in my day” isn’t just Grandpa rambling. It’s also adults who resent their upbringing but are stupid enough to pass it on. First to their kids, and now to wage earners.
Also people can be tricked by propaganda and lies pretty easily.
It was a really bad year for California props, people just took a hard right turn.
No to: raise the minimum wage, provide housing, abolish slavery
Yes to: harsher sentencing and some weird vendetta a rich guy has against an AIDS nonprofit
Motherfuckers complain about homeless population nonstop and then refuse to pass anything to fix it.
It was in fact very badly written, with stuff like wage changes taking effect “immediately” (in practice 5 days after vote counts are certified).
Is there a place for posting titles that say the opposite of what they mean? Like the “Don’t Dead, Open Inside”. That comma ruins it. I can only assume they edited some words out of the one line without reading the result.
