Democrats rallying for a $15 per hour minimum wage hike in Los
Angeles were victorious. The city has apparently instated some sort of
an ordinance mandating that stores pay a new minimum wage of $15 per
hour.
Walmart made a huge move
after learning of the new wages they were being FORCED to pay their
laborers who are often unskilled. This Walmart in LA refused to pay so
much for such little work and they just closed their store. Just like
that! They closed the entire store instead of paying people $15 per
hour. Now instead of people having a job and earning any money at all,
they’re unemployed and on the streets scrambling to find a new job!
What’s worse? Having a job that pays less than $15, or having no job at
all? No job pays $0 per hour.
And who does this hurt the most? Well, the store is in LA, so
possibly hurts minorities more than anyone. Democrats literally just
hurt their own voters. Not only that, but didn’t we learn from Seattle’s
failed disaster of the $15 minimum wage nonsense? The restaurant
industry was partially devastated in Seattle where almost 1,000 jobs
were lost because businesses could not afford to pay higher wages to
everyone working there. Don’t even get me started on the fast food
workers getting $15 an hour when they can’t read or can’t get an order
correct.
Fast food workers shouldn’t get $15 an hour
because they require minimal skills, much like the basic job at
Walmart. Not to knock anyone who works there, but if your job is to make
sure the shelves look nice and you can’t even do that right, then why
would you deserve $15 an hour?
If you work somewhere for a few years and earn your way up to $15 an
hour, then that’s fine. But some teenager who sits on his or her phone
all day at Walmart doesn’t need $15 an hour. What are they doing to earn
it?
