1. Minimum wage increases are to inflation what a surplus of immigrants are to wage stagnation.

2. We rarely eat garbage Fa(s)t Food anymore. Every once in a while as a guilty pleasure, or on the road with no choices, and even then……
   BBQ burgers at home
   BBQ chicken at home
   Air Fry chicken wings.
   Fries are verboten.
   Average person is dumb as hell, eating poison every time they waste their money, and health, eating Fa(s)t Food. And as it gets more expensive, thanks to high minimum wages. We tried to warn the world that it would cause food inflation, but we were ignored. April 1st, BC minimum wage is over $17/hr. No wonder your McGut Bomb meal is $13

3. The real minimum wage is $0. And a lot of low wage folks are about to find that out.

4. When you have no job, your wage is $0/hr. Part time or full time…still $0.

5. Not to worry … all the pizza delivery boys are white teenagers … they’ll find another minimum wage temp. job. What? Wait … it’s not 1974 anymore. Now … all pizza delivery drivers ovvvvv cullller deserve a “living wage” of at least $15.00/hour.

   Nevermind. I have such an outmoded … capitalist … colonialist, or something, views about unskilled labor and unskilled jobs. These aren’t after-school jobs anymore … now they’re primary employment for all the … newcomers.

   1. Kenji,
      Today’s teenagers don’t have to work ’cause Mommy and Daddy buy them everything and take care of all of their problems. Why do you think Gen Zs are the most entitled generation to ever live?

6. In another CA story … soaring PG&E bills cause my local theatre to close two days a week.

   But somewhere … a planet is being “saved” by raping energy rate payers. Yeayyy … PS … the CA PUC has NEVER … NEVER … turned down a PG&E rate increase. So much for looking out for the consumer. We already pay 3x the national average for electricity

7. My brother could fix the energy use computer program coder.
   I have no idea what I’m trying to call it. But it would show a negative used electricity rate. You had to reset at certain times each month.
   Anyway…
   They went on vacation, and he tried to get me to reset it. I tried, but when they finally came back the Duke Energy Co owed him money.
   That family and friends, is the full story of my criminal career.

   1. Wow, just had a post vanish, hasn’t happened in over a week. Do I wish to repost my salient comments on minimum wages, nah.
