Last year when all the talk from the Democrat politicians was about raising the minimum wage and giving McDonald's workers $15 an hour to do unskilled labor...I said then that this was going to be the result and millions of people with no job skills would be unemployed.
But some of the "left" leaning people right here on GFY screamed about a "living wage" and all that other nonsense about this kind of unskilled labor.
I argued that an employer should only pay someone what they are worth and that this was going to lead to people pulling up to a touchscreen and ordering their food.
But no. They wouldn't listen.
And this is the result.
Common sense should have dictated that if a job could be done by teenagers in highschool at their first job ever...that if you price it out of existence you are going to destroy young people having the opportunity for their first paying job.
And so it is now happening. Congrats to the Democrats.
