No raise for California’s minimum wage workers. Voters reject Prop. 32

Business owners argued mandating pay hikes would increase food prices and worsen inflation, seizing on those concerns during a year when American consumers have remained pessimistic about the economy, despite inflation falling steadily from a pandemic-era peak.

Oh fuck off, we already know it's price gouging that's causing the inflation, not wages

Yet another bad choice by California voters. We voted for slave labor in jails and now we do not wish to provide our poorest with additional money. California needs to do some soul searching.

Pathetic.
