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?
It increases the cost of living for everything else.
Yes, I know that the cost of living is going up regardless, but that is their answer.
That sounds a lot like “I make more than them and if they get a raise I won’t”. The cost of living has nothing to do with that lol
Yes, that’s exactly what it is
But thst doesn’t happen when they have raised the minimum wage in other places. Why do they think that?
Propaganda from the ruling class.
Yes
this has been disproven time and time again and is just propaganda you are parroting.
