    Fair enough. But California is a large place with diverse economic situations. And Id hate for every restaurant to be McDonald’s. so i guess my concern will come out in the wash. we’ll see if this creates a greater monopoly eventually. Also im a small business owner.

      diversity is when more borger places and the more borger places the more diverser it is

      pay a living wage or sell to someone who can. ideally the state.

            But is that what we’re doing? Having business owner foot the bill for workers comp is more of the same. We do that already and the actual solution is to have the state perform that function. This solution just cuts out people that cant afford the new regulation. Leaving the large player who can afford it. Furthering wealth disparity.

                Really??? Im trying to understand and you’re not being persuasive. Saying you dont care about someone losing their income just comes off as cruel.

                Should we regulate it so that only McDonald’s afford to run a restaurant? Should benefits be based on employment?

                You’re acting like under our system this is a benevolent outcome and there couldn’t be a downside.

                  The downside: Small business owners can no longer force employees to work for poverty wages

                  The upside: the poorest workers in California get a living wage

                  Why should we care about a few small business owners who can’t afford to not exploit their employees? And why should they be prioritized over the workers?
