Man they REALLY want all businesses to leave the state, huh?

California’s Sacramento-seated collectivists have forced the minimum wage to rise to $20 per hour, which was immediately followed by mass lay-offs and resulted in many businesses turning to automation. Now, it seems, they have realized the error of their ways.
This doesn’t mean they’ll repeal the minimum wage edict that created the problem. No – they’ll just put forth new laws like SB1446. A proposed state law could change regulations on self-checkout, forcing some stores to do away with the service altogether.
Just after many businesses made the expensive long-term move to automation and kiosks, they’ll still be forced to hire and pay people $20 an hour on top of it anyway. Or they can just close their doors and go out of business.
