Most politicians know this, but their constituents don’t understand the concept. It’s a cheap way of appearing to care about the little guy, in order to buy a vote. Most people with an IQ higher than bean dip saw this coming. Raise the minimum wage, it’ll cost people jobs and further drive up inflation. Congratulations California, you have made your problem worse.</blockquote>
