Yet labor activists are now pushing for a $30 minimum wage, claiming it will finally make California affordable. But the economic reality tells a very different story.
In this video, we break down:
🔥 The real numbers behind California’s job losses
🔥 How AB 1228 led to reduced hours and higher prices
🔥 Why small franchise owners — not giant corporations — are being crushed
🔥 The historical purpose of minimum wage laws (hint: it’s not what you think)
🔥 Why LA is now considering a $30 wage ahead of the Olympics & World Cup
🔥 Evidence from Seattle and other cities showing the same pattern
If raising the minimum wage solved poverty, California would be a success story. Instead, we’re watching businesses close, workers lose hours, and prices skyrocket. Basic economics remains undefeated.
