The impact of CA's fast food wage hike 

EMT is an entry level job as well, My nephew started as an EMT while in college and that 2 years experience plus his degree got him a job at a fire deptartment (that also provides EMT services) earning over $100,000 per year as soon as he finished his education.

Now that's scary to even think about....even scarier to witness.

@@howardmarkert8150Fast food is an entry level job as well.

@@G-Man-kc2nm Yes, and this means that because fast food wages have gone up, EMT starting wages will also go up eventually in order to fill the much needed job vacancies. Supply and demand work in the labor market just like in any other semi free market.

Except flipping burgers and making split second decisions on a variety of diagnoses is exactly the same skill level right?

Flippy gonna sp4nk you 😩

You are so right. All of our problems from the past 100 yrs started the moment Buden was voted in. 😒 By the way, f*** Biden, but don't be ignorant. Both sides suck and only care about money and ego. Wake up

The people of California voted him in, this must be what they wanted. My suggestion is to consider you voting pattern and VOTE DIFFERENTLY! Vote for conservatives. Throw out the tax and spend liberals. And if you say your vote doesn't matter, I'm only one person OR ANY OTHER EXCUSE then you disserve what you get, but please, whatever you do, don't move to Florida, Texas or Tennessee because we don't want your brand of crazy.

I just moved out of Cali. it's un fixable at this point. Watch Escape from LA it's an old film but a prediction of where the state is going. 😢

@@Tahetse Just don't go to another state and keep voting blue ...... that is what caused that mess.

Another good reason to avoid these toxic food factories, they've always been poor value anyway. I go maybe thrice per yr and always surprised how bad they are.

I will spend 100$ on fast food I don’t care

​@@killer12545I agree with you spending money on fast food is simply a treat to yourself an your family/ friends ❤ plus after my wife got pregnant I'd buy it every day so I'm used to it.

U lyin

Learning to cook your own food is way better than the growing greed of fast food. Why spend $20 on a McMeal when you can be your own McCook and make the same thing that tastes LOADS better?

That would be awesome! Can you imagine a food establishment that will finally become sanitary, no more unclean practices that habitually take place in these food joints, no more dealing with lousy customer service. Really, a blessing in disguise.

He was half tongue in cheek but the robots are coming anyway. The sad part is many jobs just aren't worth that much, so they won't exist, they were never intended as careers but as entry level jobs.

I want to see how the robot dealing with LaShond'ra if it forgets the sauce

By far, California is the most f'd up state in the union. The battle for 2nd place is between Oregon and Illinois.

Workers have a right to unionize. Decades of low wages and you all are mad employees win. Strange.

@@robertturner1308 Did the "mad employees" win? They're going to have to work harder with less workers and they'll have to worry about their job disappearing. That doesn't sound like a "win" to me.

@@robertturner1308 Nobody wins. I was a teamster and that was a total waste of money out of my check. Got out in my small window of opportunity.

@@1995texasaggie I was an unrepresented analyst with a masters degree and 9 years of experience. When layoffs came in the Great Recession I was still let go and not rehired as they were not required to rehire us as unrepresented staff. If I was in a union they would have had to layoff a newer employee with less seniority or at least rehire me first when the budget improved as it was not a performance based layoff. I am in a union now and it is money well spent. The only raises we get are what our union fights for. Most people are not in unions but should join them and live better.

If you are only getting $17 as an EMT, that tells me that your employer doesn't respect you or what you do.

This $20 hike is only to raise wages in every job in Cali. The cost of living will ski-rocket for everyone. The rich demos can afford it and don't care. The money (taxes) grab by the politicians is grotesgue.

@@suddenlysolo2170 That's the standard in Ca, in other states they get paid even less lol.

Look at it this way, at least you're still gonna have a job, all these fast food workers are going to get laid off.

yeah ok dude

Panera sends a lot of dough to Newsome, so they're ok. It's all about bribes.

Gavin made an exemption to the new minimum wage laws specifically for businesses that made bread on location before the laws got enacted. He clearly only plans to allow his friend to benefit, while at the same time, block all other businesses from now making bread on location to get the same financial benefit by paying a lower wage. I hope the scheme backfires when all of the now-underpaid Panera workers go to competitors that pay better, and Panera loses its business for being so shady.

@@oahuhawaii2141 good thing you can make bread easily. EVERYONE SHOULD BE BUYING SMALL COMMERCIAL BREAD OVENS.

Story here on the East Coast is that is because one of his college chums own Panera Bread.

Panera is not exempt. There was a story on the news a few weeks ago that they will be paying the $20 per hour. But stating this fact doesn’t serve your political agenda, does it?

Makes one wonder why they really passed this law. What's the underline agenda.....

@@jaquan3571 "We all got a huge pay raise today, drinks are on me...5 beers please" "That will be 50 dollars"

Its a transfer of wealth strategy. Democrats have always been socialists at their core but now they're found machinations that their constituents can get behind b/c most of their constituents vote based on "feelings" and not based on "facts or logic". You can read into that what you will. Hike up minium wages > restaurants close en masse > increase number of eliminated workers filing for benefits > raise taxes on the middle class and wealthy. If you have a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit, CA is not your state to be do business in...

Why, five guys have been charging that much for their menu prices long before this wage increase. And people eating there never had the problem of spending that much.

My response: "Screw that! If it costs that much for something like that, I might as well buy my own ingredients and cook at home like the younger folk are doing!"

Thats exactly what they want , to ruin the country & pitbsmaller buisinesses out ! Same thing they did during the plan demic. It has nothing to do with min. Wage . Its the agenda. It doesn't effect the wealthy evil elites .

I hope they run off tourism dollars while they are at it.

This is what they want

If all fast-food restaurants closed, California would not fall flat on its face, but I can assure you that there will be less obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Why does everyone choose to see the glass half empty rather than it being half full.

@@cherub0nyx yes, inflecting new pain to Californians,Newsom is a Rat

I always cook at home. Fast food is unhealthy.

we are. i barely even eat out anymore. if i do; its because of a coupon or something really cheap.

This addresses the customers, but without a job, the ex-employees can't afford to make dinner at home or keep a home. Within a month, the homeless population is going to explode. Oh, wait, the illegals can fill in the slots at lower pay if they aren't required to show citizenship, pay taxes, get immunizations, or follow any other laws. So there is a plan.

It’s more than just eating out it provides jobs to the community

If you stay at home. Bussiesses start to close down. And MCD will just buy a robot. That's why if you eat out choose small cause their the only one who will actually care about their workers

French Laundry pays more than $20 per hour

​@@nolanchen1876Do they? Do you really think Newsom pays well🤔

@nolanchen1876: The French Laundry is a very high-end restaurant that charges over $300 for its standard prix fixe meal. Its typical customer can afford to pay the high price for the meal. The chefs at The French Laundry are highly trained, highly skilled, and under the high pressure of exacting work for long hours; accordingly, they deserve the much higher pay. Since the restaurant already pays more than $20/hr, it won't need to raise its wages under this law. I ate there once, a very long time ago, when the prix fixe dinner was "only" $100, plus $15 for the supplement to upgrade with beluga sturgeon caviar and pâté de foie gras courses. A friend brought 4 different bottles of wines from his personal collection, but the maître d' limited us to the chard and the cab, which weren't on the overpriced wine list, and then charged us $100 for corkage fee. Our waiter screwed up by not getting us a decanter, despite us requesting one from the start of service and after each course, until he finally listened when our filet mignon was served. We had to wait for our red to air; as our steaks were getting cold, we decided to eat them first, and drink our aired wine when the rabbit course came up next. Our friend had gristle on the side of his filet, and he also complained that his lobster claw had a bit of shell embedded in it, and our waiter let our water glasses go empty and still did nothing until we repeatedly asked for water. Two strikes each for our maître d', chef, and waiter.

More likely, Panera Bread, since they are exempted from this wage hike

Do some research on how much money people made for work before feminism was popular. In 1945 a person working at McDonald's would make .45 cents an hour. A family house in LA would cost $4,300. Today that would be akin to making $100 an hour minimum wage and a family house costing $150,000 in LA. That's why people back in the 1940's were having 4+ kids and living well. Today you're might be able to afford a bedroom on a McDonald's job. Corporations, banks and politicians are responsible for this happening in the USA.

I know how you feel

Don't blame her, but there's going to be stiff competition from the middle aged people fighting for these now career jobs & those forced out of retirement needing more income. Best of luck to the youth getting forced out here 👍

To get around the $20 minimum just call your restaurant a hospital and hire nurses for $15 to do the jobs.

I’m sure some task can’t be replaced and there will always be people with money. It’s more likely that those that get replaced by robots will end up in government assistance.

Bring on the automation. It is probably faster than the workers. I already use order kiosk when they are available, because it is faster, and saves the company money.

Depends. If no one is going there because of the pricing I bet you would see the pricing drop some. But if people are still stupid enough to buy a burger, fries, and a drink for $20.00 then heck no they aren't going to drop the pricing because they are a business and they are trying to make profit.
